It was begin from a journal


“Congratulation for our sister, she will go to Japan for international student exchange this month for one year”
One day, I read this sentence in a journal in my campus. I was so anxious to find out about her, how she could get the scholarship. I thought that she is still second year student. At that time I was just entered the campus, I was adapting with new environment, but before I entered the campus I have my own dream to going abroad especially country that have winter season .

I wish that I can join the program like her joined. That was a sentence that always in my head. I said to myself she could got the scholarship even she was still in second year, can I get the scholarship like she did? I have to increase my ability in English and find out every information about scholarship or student exchange.
After that I met a sister in a class, she still in second year student. At that time the lecture didn’t came because of bad weather, it was rain. I ask to my sister about the student that got scholarship to continue her study in Japan. Where she got the scholarship? Is she a second year student ? she told me that the student is last year student and every year our campus sent a student to continue his/her study in Japan. In that year she was the lucky student.
Then, my passion to go abroad bigger than before, as she told me that every year there will be a student will go to Japan, at that time I hope I got the scholarship and be the lucky student. I was improving my English while searching the information and never forget praying. Every week wasn’t complete if I wasn’t go to search the information in every journal or announcement board. I also opened my lectures file or identity to find out where he/she graduated and how he/she got the scholarship, not only that but also I always tried to attended if there was a professor gave a speech in a mosque.
Now, I realize that if you are really want something you will get it with good effort and pray. I remember a sentence “jika anda sungguh-sungguh menginginkan bulan maka bulan akan datang kepada anda” it mean if you really want go to moon so the moon will go to you.
When I was in second semester, the dream came true. I read information about student exchange to Fukui, Japan and I saw my friend hold the detail information. I just ask and copied the information. I talked to my mother, she agreed and very happy if I pass the interview.
After that, I submitted the form and followed the interview. In the next week, in Friday my friend ran and scream, she said “ I will go to Japan, I will go abroad I passed the interview”. I looked blank and there were a big question in my mind, “how about me ? I passed it too?” my friends said that you passed it too and another student, we will go to Japan this September, I didn’t believe it, I went to my department and asked who passed the interview and will go to japan ? my lecture said that you and 2 other student will go to Japan.
“Alhamdulillah, I will go to Japan” I said to myself. I realize that my dream came true, in past time I was anxious about my sister that went to Japan even she was second year student, but then I knew she is last year student. And now I made I own history I go to japan even I’m second year student. Something that I didn’t believe before. I didn’t stop to say thank you Allah…
