Scholarships

Related to my previous post. This is my biggest ambition since... I was a kid. A kid. (Although I always be a kid of my Mom and Dad....) My super Dad is my motivator. It was him who made me become a dreamer. I didn't know 'what scholarship is' until I figured out that my Dad had achieved 3 full scholarships. I saw the pictures of Dad on the train in France... It's written 'On the way to Toulouse.'.... Or the pictures when Dad on the cable car in Japan... Or when he fed the doves in a park in Netherlands... Ohh and when he STOOD IN FRONT OF LOUVRE AND EIFFEL. I was 5, and I saw those pictures.

I was 5, and I already wished I could get scholarships like Daddy had got years ago. I was 5, and I already thought 'you don't have to be a rich guy to dart yourself in places around the world.'. I was 5, and I thought 'you just have to be a smart guy to achieve whatever you want.' I was 5, and I dreamed to be a smart traveler one day. Like my Dad used to be.

So... yes. I wish I could go to Netherlands and feed the doves there or visit the Eiffel and Louvre before I take a train to Toulouse or better than those I wrote.

Well. But do some of you think of this...?: 'Ohh Rizka, don't you think about having a holiday, do you? You could have all of them in a vacation with your family! More fun!'. True-not-true. I mean... maybe if I a little bit sulky to my parents I could have it. But this is not about the journey. This is about... the pride. Don't you feel proud, satisfied, if you get your dreams come true after your hard works? Indirectly, I feel like, my Dad taught me about this.

And.... wait. Do not think like I want to get scholarships because I only want the journeys! No! Scholarship's the best. You don't have to spend lots of money. Have lots of experiences. Make your family happy. Make yourself happy.

And this is what I and my parents are planning for. Done the IGCSE, lets see how did I do. If it's good enough... why shouldn't I try to enroll in university? I really wish it'd be happen. And definitely I'm searching for any scholarships. (Oh. IGCSE only takes one year so I could go to college by that time. I DON'T HAVE TO DO THE UAN.)

Dad had finished his Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Netherlands and his Doctorates in Japan. (This is my way to show that I'm SO PROUD OF YOU DAD AND HOW MUCH I LOVE AND ADORE YOU.) TU Delft and Tohoku University. My dream is not that far. Nanyang would be fine enough for me. Nanyang is good and Singapore is not too far! Industrial engineering... I think that would be appropriate for me. This is just a wish. In fact, it's fine if there are another options! (World is not only South East Asian.)

BUT. I have annnotherrrr dreeeaaammmms. (You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...) Cambridge. England. Cambridge. England. Cambridge. Cambridge. But it seems so far away... Both the place and the dream itself... I mean can I....? To reach Nanyang is hard enough! But I'll try and do my best!

And prays do have the parts. Pray much. Work lots. Dream is not just a dream as long as you really do your best efforts!

Nanyang University at Singapore. The building is amazing, isn't it..?

Cambridge University in England. This is the romantic and sexy side of knowledge and history.

Btw, I'd love to study in Indonesia too! (OF COURSE.) ITB is a great place for me!

ITB in Bandung, Indonesia. I can't always leave my Dad alone in Bandung, right?

I wish these dreams come true... Amen! Wish me luck!

P.S: Sorry for the grammar errors.... as usual.
