Tugas 1

Being a primary school teacher had been my dream since I was a kid. After I finished my study in SMA Negeri 3 Pontianak, I started being busy choosing which university I wanted to continue my study to. I actually wanted to continue my study outside Kalimantan. But, my parents did not permit me due to some problems. Finally, I took state university in Pontianak.

I took SNMPTN and chose Primary School Teacher Education of Tanjungpura University and Primary School Teacher Education of Yogyakarta State University. But I did not accepted at any of it. Not so long after that, I took the second chance called SBMPTN and had three choices. The first one was School Teacher Education, the second was Islamic Economy, and the last was Sosiatri. It was all in Tanjungpura University.

But the result was the same. I did not accepted at any program. I was very sad and stressed at the same time. But my parents and friends kept supporting me and it was what made me could stand up again and be spirited. I decided to take the third chance, Tanjungpura University’s Independent Pathway. I kept working on it and studying hard. On that test, I had two program choices, Social Education and State Administration. I chose Social Education because this was a new program and the only one in Kalimantan. And I chose State Administration of Social and Political Science Faculty because my father was an alumnus of it.

The result of Tanjungpura University’s Independent Pathway was announced on 8^th of July 2016 at 8.30 A.M. and I was accepted! I was so excited and grateful. I would make my dream come true: being a teacher. Although I was not accepted at Primary School Teacher Education, I was still grateful that I had been accepted as Tanjungpura University student.
