Bismillah….
Because I am talking about my exchange experiences,
so I will talk about my journey before going abroad.
Here you go...
Talking about exchange program, I
got the information when I was in 10 grade of MAN 3 Kediri. There was an alumni
who shared the information about it. I was interested with it and registered
for it. After that, of course I had to take the test.
There was 3 phases on regional
level. First test was writing test. On this test that taken in Pare, I did the problem
about social knowledge, english, and write an essay. That was the toughest test
for me because I could not do some problems. And when I heard about how many the
part
Alhamdulillah, I passed to the
next phases of test. Yes, interview in Malang. There were 2 phases of this
test. First, interview about out personality in Indonesian. Second, basic English
interview with talent show. I danced traditional dance for my talent show. That
was without any preparation, but thankfully I could do that.
Next test was third phase. I didn’t
know what it is called, but we did it in a group that the committee prepared
for us. At that test, we had to have good group communications. So, we were given
a problem and had to solve it in group. After that we presented what we did
one.
Passing the third phases of test
means that I was completed region test level. The next level is national level
in Jakarta. In this test, I met all the participants from all over Indonesia.
Honestly, I was really nervous because I saw other participants and they were
looked like so hard to be beaten. Hohohoho. We were being quarantined 3 days to
finish our test. That was so tiring but full of fun. I got more friends from
other cities in Indonesia.
After waiting about 1 month, I
got the announcement stated that I passed the test. So I just need to wait the form
selections in international level. And finally, I got the letter stated that I
was one of the student from around 120 students who got scholarship to go abroad. That
was so great and unforgettable news.
And yeah, it was my journey
before going to USA. Open my next posts to read my next footprints.
See you and Wassalamu’alaikum Warohmatulloh…
