Dreams

Everyone has their own dreams that they want to reach. The dreams sometimes seem so high and sometimes so simply to realize it. Different people also has different ways to bring they dreams into reality. By having dreams we will know about our goal in life. So do I, I have a dream to continue my master degree in abroad, exactly in Australia. Therefore I follow some seminars in order that I know how to continue studying abroad. In seminar I get several tips to succeed getting scholarship abroad.

Firstly, we must never give up and be brave to try many kinds of opportunities to go abroad, for instance student exchange or other event that make us go abroad. Although at first attempt we fail, we must try and try again until we get it. For example from my lecturer is when he was student of university he ever tried to follow student exchange until three times but unfortunately he is failed. Then when he had graduated from university he tried again to apply scholarship studying in abroad until twelve times and finally he can continue his master degree in UK. Based on this story, I believe if we have strong belief and effort to achieve to go abroad, I am sure we will get it.

Secondly, we must have good preparation start from now to go abroad. Such as have a good grade-point average, study TOEFL or IELTS, be active in some organization or society. The minimum score for grade-point average is 3.00. The minimum score for TOEFL is 530 and for IELTS is 5.5. Surely, to get those score is not easy as we think. Although our major is about English but not all English student get good score in it. Usually we can improve it from private course. So, while studying in University we need additional class to study about TOEFL/IELTS. Besides, we must also be able to manage our time to join in some organization. Some of the scholarship sometimes will consider someone who has good score in academic and non academic. Having good preparation start now will make you easier to study in abroad.

Last but not least, we must get blessing from our parents. Everything we do, we must keep communication with them. Moreover we ask them to pray for us in order that we can continue our master degree in abroad. Mr. Ribut Wahyudi, S.S.,M.Ed who is the speaker of one seminar that I joined said that his success not because of he is brilliant, but he always ask blessing to his parent when he want to do something. He always tells to his parents about his dreams and asks his parents to pray for him. As a result of this he can realize most of his dream and he feel enjoy in his life. So, blessing from our parents is really important.

To continue our studying abroad we must prepare our physic and mental. Henry David Thoreau said“ Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined” We must believe to ourselves that we will be able to realize our dreams. Never give up, do good effort and ask blessing to our parents is several ways to bring you as soon as possible continue your master degree in abroad.
