Personal Statement

I graduated from a vocational high school in 2012. But after that, I did not immediately continue my study, but I am looking for a job. At first, I wanted to continue my study to STAN, where majors will I take is majoring in accounting. But when I want to register it turns STAN has not opened registration for accounting majors but only opened registration for the Department of Customs. Then in 2013, I decided to continue my study because I think if I just graduated from vocational high schools was still less and I want more than that. That's why I started thinking about what majors will I take. Then I signed up for a special college for computer or you could say STMIK and search for scholarship and it turns out I got it but after I think about it, I do not like the majors. So... Finally, I did not take the majors.

Then I told my parents that I wanted to major in English Literature but I still do not know which college has that major. Until the end, my father told me that at Bina Nusantara has majored in English Literature. So, why did I choose BINUS? Because the distance from my home to BINUS is not far away, so parents no need to worry about me when I wanted to go to the campus. Perhaps you are confused, why I chose English Department? And what's your expectation after graduation from BINUS? And why I chose BINUS? Why did I not choose another campus? Why? I choose English Department because basically, I really really like language very much, especially English and Chinese.

At first, I wanted to major in Chinese Literature and my parents also asked me to take that major. But after considering it again I chose the English Department as my major. And my parents support my choice. I chose this major because I see there are quite a lot of opportunities. Moreover, I also really like to learn new things and also I was very like to share things that I know to the people and it can be said that I love to teach because I wanted to share the knowledge that I have to the people. That is why in the 5th semester I took teaching as my streaming. Why BINUS? As I've said before because BINUS is close to my house so I do not need to spend a lot of costs just to go to campus. And again when the rainy season arrives, my parents do not have to worry when it rains because they could take me or pick me up.

My expectation after graduation from BINUS I want to get a job that suits with my field which is, of course, related to the English, such as a teacher or I can also want to open a private course. Since my apprenticeship to become a teacher, I want to teach children in private schools or in schools that are not familiar with the English language, such as schools in rural areas. As I said earlier, that I am very fond of new things and I want to learn something new that I had never experienced or do before. The point after graduation I want to be a teacher. Due to, work as a teacher has a very flexible working hours. And if I could, I wanted to continue my study to a higher level. And I also hope that after I graduated from the English Department, I can be more skilled in speech, especially in speaking English. I hope my English becomes more fluent and I can be more confident to speak in front of people.
