Dare to Dream: Your Past is Not Your Future

"Too many of us are not living our dreams, because we are living our fears" 

~Firdaus Kasim (LPDP Awardee Batch #2)

I know... I know... It's been months since my last update...
In my defense, it's been very busy starting a new life in a foreign country and adapting to a student's lifestyle again after so many years. I will write about all of it someday in this blog, but for now I will just have a brief update on this blog.

In front of RMIT University's Multi-Faith Center

Thanks to my sponsor LPDP, now I'm officially able to study in a foreign country; one of the things that have been dreamed of by many people throughout the world. Coming from a simple family and raised in a small town, in the past, however, I didn't really have the courage to dream such a dream.

Yet, during my study in UI, I met a lecturer who studied in a university in London for his master degree. One day, in a consultation session, he told me a story of his life during his college day in UI.

Menggunakan Jasa Konsultan Pendidikan? Why not?

Salah satu pertanyaan terbesar yang sering kita lontarkan saat ingin mulai belajar di luar negeri adalah...

GIMANA CARA DAFTARNYA??

Terkadang kita coba membuka website universitas tujuan kita dan..  
 olala... Sepertinya rumit sekali ya cara daftarnya....

Banyak sekali formulir yang harus diisi...

Tidak sedikit link yang harus di-klik...

Belum lagi bejibun juga dokumen-dokumen yang dipersyaratkan univ...

de es be... de el el...

Sebagian dari kita mungkin langsung ter-discourage begitu melihat prosedur yang cukup kompleks seperti itu; terlebih jika kita tidak punya kerabat atau kenalan yang mengerti dan berpengalaman dalam urusan seperti ini.      

Jangan khawatir, saat ini terdapat banyak lembaga konsultan pendidikan (seperti IDP, SUN Education,  Edlink Education, dsb.) yang siap membantu kita mulai dari proses pencarian dan pendaftaran universitas, aplikasi visa, pencarian akomodasi hingga keberangkatan (bahkan penundaan keberangkatan ke semester selanjutnya atau yang dikenal dengan nama deferring offer).
