1. Describe 2 most frustrating events you have ever faced in your

life and how you dealt with them.

Answer: In my university life, I also active in non-academic i.e

join organizations, and any kind of. My career in non-
academic was very progressive because I could position myself
in the crowd. In my first year, there are an election for a
chairman in one committee. I was easily won with my
majority vote, but then, a group of classes didn’t happy with
the results and I was being outcasted. As a person who won in
the elections, and then outcasted in the first year of
university life, I was very depressed because I barely had
friends (Just some of them). I was upset not because the final
result that I was being sacked from the chairman, but because
slowly, all my friends turning against me. I couldn’t help
myself but, in the end, I was really happy with that
devastating event because I know who my really friend is.
Now, I was really happy because I found my friends. I can’t
describe how lucky I am, or how is my feeling for now,
because thank you just shouldn’t be enough to tell my
gratitude. If I have a chance to mentioned all of them, it
would be a long-list, but for now, let this short story explain
how important they are in my life.

Second, still in my university life, in the third year, I was

trusted by all of my friends to become a Calon PresBEM Unair.
The process was long enough, and it’s a very tired. I was
enjoying all the process, because I know I can’t give my
friends anything, so I just have one option; Win. In short,
politically, I was lost again, but they said that I’m still the
winner in their hearts. I’m not sad, just knowing that when I
look back, I can see lots of people that have pushed me to
become who I am. Over again, in every frustrating event, my
friends were always with me. That is how I overcome any
frustrating event.

2. Describe 3 most satisfactory achievements you have

accomplished since you are 10 years old and how you achieved
them.

Answer: The first one will be when I was accepted in Airlangga

University. I was born from a non-privileged family, and not
anyone in my family yet had a chance to get to extend their
education in university life. I was very excited, and also can’t
explain how I’m feeling. Per 3 April 2023, I was finally
graduated from Airlangga University, and all the years back
then in my university life flashing back. It’s hard and thrilling,
but I enjoy every day of it, and it still be one of my
satisfactory achievements in my life.

Second, in my third year, I was being selected as one of

delegation from International Relations in Airlangga University
to attend Pertemuan Nasional Mahasiswa HI Se-Indonesia. In
that event, me and my friend; Bayu got an achievement for
being a best presenter. It is the first time in history of
International Relations of Airlangga University, to won such an
honorary. I was very happy that time.

Last, I would like to explain the latest moment, when I was

finally graduated from Airlangga University. Last week, at 3
April 2023, I got to do my ‘Sidang Skripsi’. The process of my
thesis was full of twist, and I was very surprised that finally I
could finish it very close to the deadline. In the ‘Sidang
Skripsi’, my thesis was being tested in open debate, including
three of my lecturers, and everyone in the class could ask or
even critize my thesis. It was a horrific moment, but
somehow, I enjoyed it for less than 2 hours. In the end, I got
the result AB. Short story, all of my friends were celebrating
together, and we hangout for a couple hours; playing
bowlingball, eating, carpool karaoke and else. It was a fun
moment, and I don’t know when we will have that moment
again, since we all will become busy with our own life.
