My Master Study landed to ITB


I have been curious about the result of KGSP 2014 scholarship. It mentioned that the announcement would be first week of May 2014 and it was May 8th. I tried to take a look my email and i found nothing about scholarship notification. Pursuing my curiosity, then i opened 'study in korea' website and began to search announcement information. Yap, finally i found the information i need so-called "Notice for second candidate....". I opened that link and tara... my name did not exist. T_T

That's OK. It's been my second chance failed on the scholarship selection after ADS last year. Yes i was really disappointed at that time. Just at that time. Then gave up ? Big NO NO. I told my wife about my failure on scholarship selection and she said "It's OK abi, i'm really proud of you for every efforts you've done so far. It might the best from Allah swt give you a chance to continue your study in Indonesia and you already accepted in ITB which not everyone could". You were right My Love..., maybe this is my right path and i have to maximize this chance.

Honestly, ITB was my second target for my master study. I had a plan for this year study, if i couldn't accepted by overseas university scholarship i would take ITB as my study destination. And obviously Allah granted me on my second choice. :)

It was not easy to pass ITB selection for MBA school. I remember my AAT and ELPT test preparation in order to meet ITB requirement. I was quite confident for English Test because it not my first time experience. However, AAT was my first time test which mean i did not know about the question model prediction. I just found on the blog that AAT model similar with GMAT question. Eventually, i learnt GMAT question for AAT test preparation. Of course all of the question in English and i must adapted with that.



Finally testing day has come. OK, i tried to calming my self and suggesting to just do the best i can. Forgot about the result, just do the best. One week afterward, i received an email from SBM ITB announcing that i had been accepted for MBA Young Executive program. Alhamdulillah.... It all thanks to support from my lovely wife, prayer from my family, friend and certainly God willing.

OK...from now on i will focus to get my goal in this place, InsyaAllah. Not only get the formal title but also there would available tons of network, chance and of course materialize my dream. I am happy to be me with all i have.

Note: I am not continue my study in computer science again by the way. I love business field and tend to lead Finance major.
