PENGALAMAN SELEKSI UWC ⤅ UPDATE AND UWCCSC '20

Helloooooo!!

Wow.. it has been a while since i wrote something. With this post, i'm basically just continuing my UWC Selection story. 

I've been waiting for months and months to actually give an update about what's going on with the selection process. So.. let me give a flash back real quick. My last post was about UWC Indonesia final selection process. If you want to read it, click this link. After waiting for less than a month or a month (i knida forgot. lol), finally the email came. It was the acceptance letter and for it's everything that i worked so hard for. I was surprised at first when i found out that i got in to UWC Changshu China. Why you might ask? Well, mainly because i really didn't expect it and for real tho i am NOT complaining. That school is massive, basically a five star hotel. The school is located in Changshu, China about 2 hours from Shanghai. I can't even describe how the school is cause i'm still wowed at it until now (a week to go..). But anyway back to when i got the acceptance letter, i burst out crying at midnight by the time that email came. I am beyond grateful. All the hard work i put through, all the hours spent on writing the essays, and just basically everything. Everything goes by so fast that i still don't have time to just sit down and think that i am going to a school that i have been dreaming for the longest time ever.

Okay. The last time i wrote that part i was still in Indonesia. Now, it has been almost a month that i'm here in UWCCSC. This experience has been so incredible that i can't really put it into words how amazing it has been. I'm beyond grateful, once again, for having the chance to be here. This school is so magical and it's so great. I met lots of wonderful people and made friends to the best people here. It felt like i've been here for so long and that i've known them for so long, yet it has only been 3 weeks since i stepped my foot here in the campus. My schedule has been so packed and i dont have time to just write a lil bit on this blog. Just to give an update whatsoever. Even now that i am writing this, i am actually procrastinating from doing my english homework (yay). I learned a lot in just this few weeks, not only from my environment but also from my closest friends here. here's the thing, in UWC conversations are so different than back at home. Back at home, we mostly gossip and stuffs (not that it's a bad thing because we do talk about some gossips too here in UWC 😁) but it's so different because here we talked about issues that's going on in the world from lots of perspective. You could be sitting at lunch in one table talking about crisis in some parts of the world and the other table is singing and in another table is gossiping about school life. I really want to talk about everything here, but i can't.. gotta finish my homework. Sometimes, i still can't believe that i now live in China- which is thousands miles away from Indonesia. Also, still can't believe that i am a UWC student now. I remember it was this year's January when i wrote "UWC 2020" in a sticky note and put it up on my wall in my room. It all come true.

One message that i want to tell is just basically a very cliche but If u can dream it, then u can do it. What's stopping you is just the story that you always tell yourself why you can't. I didn't know that i could be studying abroad in such a young age. Back in my middle school days, this was only a stupid dream that i knew it won't happen to me. But here i am now, seventeen years old and studying in another country. I just want to tell you that go dream big and work for it. Something great doesn't knock on your door hun.. you gotta work for it.

See ya.
