Early June, around year ago, was the time that I could never forget. Participating in YSEALI Program has always been my dream since along ago. But I always know that the selection process for this program is highly competitive, involving the best and only the best of the best who are selected. I was just an ordinary pupil back then who caught up in dreams and fantasies to participate in this signature program. However, I was still trying to apply. The results, I failed over and over again. I have been applying like 4 times, and most of them ended up in failure. But I always remember a wise proverb, "fall seven times, stand up eight". No matter how many times you fall down, try to get up and rise, at least one more time
Early June, around a year ago, I tried to apply (again) for this program. I decided not to give up (again). And in this attempt, I got something that I could never imagined before, Finally I got invited for the interview, something that I might have waited after years and years of failure. I could never forget that day, the day of interview that finally send me to The U.S. to participate in this program. It was like a dream. Yes, it was. Started with just a boy who caught up in dreams and fantasies, then with careful it turns into realities. When you don't succeed today, create a new page tomorrow. Turn the page maybe you'll find a happy ending, where you're finally dancing in your tears
Alhamdulillah, after all, I have always been grateful for His blessings until today. And finally, indeed it was a happy ending for those who never quit. No matter how often you fail, just never quit. Because, as another wise proverb says, "quitter never wins, and winner never quits".
