The Struggle of Junior High School Teachers to Get Scholarships Abroad After Failing 118 Times, Having a Bunch of Achievements

Dream - Everyone's journey in pursuing their dreams is indeed different. Some succeed in their first attempt, but some have to go through hundreds of failures before finally tasting the fruits of their efforts. Just like the struggle of Rahmat Putra Yudha, a teacher at SMPN 13 Pontianak, in chasing his dream to study abroad.

"118 Times Failed Scholarship Selection"

For him, a life that only happens once must leave a legacy for future generations. To achieve his dream, Yudha has gone through 118 failed scholarship selections. He started these hundreds of attempts since 2007, not long after he graduated from undergraduate studies.

"I have applied for almost every full scholarship available in the world, and on average, I end up in interviews. From there, I hone my communication skills in expressing my opinions. That there might be some shortcomings on my part,""

Accepted LPDP Scholarship.

In 2009, Yudha became a teacher and was appointed as a Civil Servant (PNS). That made Yudha have no other choice but to continue pursuing scholarships if he wanted to study abroad. Until finally, he tried the LPDP scholarship and was accepted, making Yudha's dream of studying abroad become more real.

Until finally, Yudha departed to Australia to pursue a Master of Education TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) study at Wollongong University in 2014.

"Never Give Up"

Yudha conveyed, during the interview he was asked what if he did not pass the scholarship selection again. "It's not a problem, Sir, and you will meet me again to apply. Because I will not give up. I will definitely try again," Yudha answered.

During a three-month break from college, Yudha chose to remain productive by participating in a faculty exchange program to Poland. In fact, within that short period of time, he admitted to also helping establish the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) in Poland. According to him, that opportunity was a memorable experience for him.
