Courage

courage. to be honest i just knew that word while watching glee s02. this word quite influenced me in doing this journey. without courage, i wouldn't have got through all of these. i'm not really keen on keeping my blog as a diary. but if once i share a sharing, it will be either useful, meaningful or rich of morals - yeah.

as you guys can see from my latest post that i'm interested in the international class of a university. i tried to apply with the talent scouting way. i had submitted the required documents to the website. i had waited for the result maybe for around a month. i'm eager this so bad. i prayed so that i could be accepted by this way. if i pass this, i can be in my desired class without doing any acceptance test first.

and last week, i was called by the university that i had to come to an interview. that was my last fight to be accepted. i practiced with my parents for that interview. i was like 'okay this is gonna be a traditional interview so i have to be relax, nothing to worry because i've done this stuff before'. i prepared some questions which might be asked by the examiner.

the day finally came. it was on monday. i felt prepared and ready for all the cases i was gonna face. at 12 pm, we were gathered in a room. there were 39 of us. i felt optimist that i could be one of the 20 who's gonna be accepted by this special way. we were given a presentation about the interview. it was such a unique interview i could say.

it was called mmi. i didn't really know exactly what kind of interview was that. my friend told me that we were gonna be divided into groups and do the interview in groups which meant together. but, that was all wrong. in this interview, there were 8 stations included 2 stations as 'rest' stations. we were given 7 minutes for each station. i was put into the 2nd session. as i've experienced, those stations divided into:

first. role play.
i didn't prepare for that thing for real. i thought that we were gonna act 'doctor and patient'. this was my first station - i thought it was gonna be the 'traditional interview' station. i was given a case as if i had to take my father's friend to the airport. i didn't think it was such a complicated case but it was getting complicated on responding the father's friend's wish. it really taught me to be calm on every case i've got to solve.

second. discussion.
discussion cases are divided into 3 stations. the first 'discussion' station asked me the opinion about the questionable medical schools in indonesia and what should i do in solving the case. the second station gave me a case if my friend copied my other friend's paper while my other friend actually allowed him and in the problem i was put as the leader of the team. the last station was about kartu jakarta sehat then i was asked to give my own definition about it and my opinion. these stations were quite hard because no one would ever be wrong about the opinions given upon the cases.

third. writing.
i was really scared of this station. when i checked up the case, it was written that i had to write down an instruction in searching up an information with google. it wasn't difficult to write down such instruction, but it was difficult in making a different instruction than others. i really wanted it to be special yet meaty.

fourth. traditional.
it was my last station before the 'rest' station. i was quite prepared for this station but maybe i was nervous so that i was a bit stammered. but thank god i could go through it.

all of them have taught me many things such as in expressing my own opinions, quick thinking, keeping my own arguments. i have to be optimist about the result which is gonna be shown by the end of the month.

yesterday, i found this:

i'm sure, they will. keep up the courage!
