Beasiswa KGSP   (Korean Government Scholarship Program) “Life would always full of surprises and would forever be unpredictable” Walaupun aku interview di Kedutaan Besar Republik Korea, perjalanan aku ini ga semulus kulit wanita Korea guys :’). So, ini dia cerita interview beasiswa GKS 2020-ku. Aku dapet panggilan untuk interview pada tanggal 30 Oktober 2019 jam 10 pagi. Aku berangkat dari Bandung ke Jakarta pake kereta paling pagi, jam 04.30. Btw, aku pergi bareng kakak ipar.  Seperti yang aku bilang sebelumnya, perjalan ini ga semulus kulit wanita Korea. Pertama, ada tragedi sakit perut di subuh hari. Penyebabnya adalah pas jam 2 subuh tuh aku ngerasa laper, yaudah akhirnya aku makan sari roti sandwich yang rasa keju.

A week left for me as a seventeen years old girl. Things that put my life in high and low happened a lot in this age. Finding direction to live, uncover reasons to keep walking, and keep faith to my dreams are several examples of my struggle during this age. I admit that I often felt tired and got lost for many reasons. Thus, I got stuck countless times. I also frequently complained to my God about why my youth is so complicated. I realize that youth is not an easy period of living. As many people say, it is the time to look for who you really are. My youth is not as smooth as silk, but it is something more precious than a ton of diamonds. Without what it brings, I wouldn’t know the value of myself and my life as what I do today. This is my first story, I am not an expert to talk about life issues or psychological condition of a person, but I will continue to share my life experience of being a human and my thoughts about what is there as the best as I can.
