MOTIVATION LETTER

Motivation letter ini ditulis untuk memvisualisasikan motivasi saya mendapatkan beasiswa studi pascasarja sehingga mengikuti event FSLN ini. Saya Muhammad Syah Fibrika Ramadhan, mahasiswa tingkat akhir Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Purwokerto. Saat ini saya sedang menggarap skripsi yang berfokus pada komunikasi pemasaran dalam perspektif islam. Fokus penelitian ini relevan dengan jurusan yang saya ambil di IAIN Purwokerto yakni ekonomi islam. Kajian penelitian ini saya pilih dengan beberapa alasan diantaranya yang pertama karena saya tertarik dengan berbagai macam proses komunikasi, khususnya komunikasi dalam marketing (pemasaran). Dan yang kedua adalah sebagaimana kita ketahui bahwa periklanan di masa kini sudah menjadi hal yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sehingga ini menjadi suatu kajian yang sangat penting untuk dipelajari. Motivasi internal saya adalah ingin mempelajari bagaimana menciptakan periklanan yang baik dan edukatifsehingga dapat memberikan dampak positif serta meningkatkan brand lebih baik lagi. Tidak hanya dari sudut pandang pemasarannya saja, saya pun tertarik mengkaji periklanan yang baik menurut perspektif ekonomi islam sehingga bagaimana brand itu dapat meningkat dengan dibalut nilai-nilai agamis. Berdasarkan penelitian inilah saya kemudian memilih kampus Universiti Brunei Darussalam sebagai tujuan studi lanjut. Beberapa hal lain yang menjadi pertimbangan diantaranya : 1. Alasan mengapa saya memilih Negara Brunei Darussalam sebagai negara tujuan untuk studi lanjut adalah karena Brunei merupakan negara yang menerapkan prinsip syari’ah Islam dalam segala aspek kehidupannya. Islam dijadikan konstitusi, identitas nasional, hak, serta cara hidupnya. Sebagai satu-satunya negara di Asia Tenggara yang menerapkan hukum islam secara penuh, Brunei menjadi tempat belajar yang cocok bagi saya yang mengkaji ekonomi islam. 2. Universiti Brunei Darussalam merupakan kampus terbaik di Negara Brunei Darussalam. Dengan akreditasi kampus yang baik maka tentu kualitas pembelajaran di UBD pun baik, sudah tidak diragukan lagi UBD telah menghasilkan lulusan-lulusan terbaik yang kompeten di bidangnya. 3. Universiti Brunei Darussalam memiliki UBD School of Business and Economics (UBDSBE) dimana di fakultas ini terdapat Master program yang salah satu penelitiannya berfokus pada Halal Marketing and Branding, bidang yang menjadi penelitian saya saat

ini. Fokus penelitian ini belum banyak ditemukan di Indonesia, oleh karena itu inilah yang menjadi motivasi kuat saya untuk melanjutkan pendidikan di UBD. Berkuliah di negara maju seperti Brunei Darussalam tentu bukanlah hal yang mudah jika dipertimbangkan dari sisi biaya. Oleh karena itu untuk mewujudkan keinginan luhur berkuliah disana saya bertekad untuk mendapatkan beasiswa. Beasiswa yang dapat membantu saya berkuliah disana diantaranya beasiswa LPDP (Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan) dan beasiswa Brunei Government Scholarship. Sebagai beasiswa dari pemerintah Indonesia, LPDP mengharuskan saya untuk kembali ke tanah air selepas membereskan masa studi di Brunei Darussalam. Sekembalinya ke tanah air, saya akan meng-improve bidang penelitian Halal Marketing and Branding yang belum banyak dikembangkan di Indonesia sebagai negara dengan jumlah penduduk muslim terbesar di dunia. Tentu ini menjadi kajian penelitian yang baru dan menarik. Wujud pengabdian saya bagi Indonesia kelak adalah dengan menjadi salah satu dosen di perguruan tinggi dan menyebarkan ilmu seluas-luasnya bagi mahasiswa. Selain itu, research tentang Halal Marketing and Branding ini pun dapat menjadi terobosan terbaru dalam upaya meningkatkan kualitas Marketing dan Branding perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia. Saya percaya dengan mengikuti event FSLN ini saya dapat menggali informasi yang banyak tentang studi di luar negeri serta beasiswa-beasiswanya dan yang paling terpenting adalah saya dapat membangun motivasi yang kuat mengapa saya harus kuliah ke luar negeri dan mewujudkan sebagian dari asa saya. Terima kasih.

Life is about help one another Dear Sir/ Madame, I want to introduce myself before I explain all the reasons why I write this letter. My Name is Siti Kholilah and usually, my familiy and my friends calls me Lilah. I was born in Indonesia on 10th April 189. I totally really want you, Sir or Madame, who reads my written will give me an opportunity to change my life mainly in education’s field. Let me to tell about the story of reason why I write here. I’ve been growth in a unrich family but I have big passion in education because I have a beautiful dream someday I will help more unlucky people who can’t continue their study to highest level.Sometimes a better life will come if we have a good background in education, such as to work in prestige place and get big earn. If all people has a big earn, of course their child as next generation in our nation doesn’t has problems to create a good life in the future. Since I spent my time in my country, I got the big point. How the education makes the people life better than before. In class, our teacher explain about everything and the student surely practise their knowledge in daily life. My mother told me about life in her village in the past, how pity are them because they live at difficult condition. Untill now, children in my village can not take a formal education easily as they want. They used to walk very long as long as their journey when was going to school. So, even I live in a little and unrich family I must keeping my motivation to continue my study till get the advantage from my formal education. Formal education makes someone do much everything, include to join as government ministry. I realize, the goverment of indonesia is so “dirty” now. Money for people corrupted by them and give the impact to our people. Almost the people in Indonesia has difficult financial to get better education mainly in postgraduate or doctoral level. No wonder if Indonesia sometimes hasn’t update in specific technology. I myself have been experienced in the case, when how to hard work for searching money to pay the tuition fee at a small college just because I didn’t got information about scholarship. So, I’m late to take a bachelor degree. I could studied at college when I had finished my High School after 5 years later. Its bad because one step for being one the next leader was cancelled. Now, I didn’t got the same thing in late to take study. I always searching more information about scholarship on internet and many source. As we know, terrorisme issues is look alike a big monster to the world nowadays. How it happened? I think, several people who dedicated they are moslem are not the truly moslem. They learn islam not carefully so they have being astrayed people. They call this action as jihad, and

they believe will be a citizen of paradise in other life. I’m not good moslemah, but I’m trying to be a better moslemah with my wish and learn about Qur’anic and Islam deeply. I knew about a history which Turkey was a strenght empire of Islamic culture and its seems so interesting if I join there to be a student and will get knowledge that doesn’t get if I study in Indonesia. I hope after I finish my master’s islamic studies I will be a part of participants to explain the people in mistakes the perception of Islam. ISIS and other astraying people needs a guide who can hold them and wish them to back in truth islam. I want to be person who capable in da’wah at many different kind of people.

Dear madam/sir Let me introduce myself, my name is Annisa. I was graduated from 44 Senior High School of East Jakarta and now i studied in State University of Jakarta, i take electronic engineering there. In this such of sentences i would tell why i'd be this motivated to join FSLN 2016, so here i go i want to study abroad to continued my bachelor and accomplished my dream. My dream is to be an Animator. Seems awesome, right? So its implicated that i would study in Japan. a Most Great Animation Country. Its one of my dreams. Since i was in Senior Highschool. I know that i'm not those richful with their money spending their time discovering the world. No, i'm not that rich. So i was think that i won't be able to study abroad. I wouldn't be like anyone else. To be honest, i was envy. I was envy with someone from my country who be able to get there. I couldn't remember it was Australia, i don't know. I still in early 2nd Semester. As you see, i don't have any experience to get trough this big dream. Since i was in Highschool i wish i go to Japan. Japan is wonderful country. Being an Animator is most awesome thing that happen to be, and seems cool too. So i work hard for it. i've learn anything that related on Animating world and do more practicing, like drawing digitally. But first, i should learn how to draw traditional. But i feel that i'm not skillful enough to. I know about my broke english, suck art, and i felt that i need more practice. I heard from Highschool that my fellow senior study in japan. I was grateful of it. I kept supporting her. It felt like i support for myself. It made supporting myself. Then i decided to get trough Japan after i graduated from SUJ . Of course i will take Departement of Art and Design I kept practicing. Searching for information, More drawing, etc. it was hard enough to be honest. Since after my junior gave me some brochure from seminar (how to Study in Japan) in Japan Foundation last day. After i borrow it, i read them one by one. Then in one book, in the corner of of the bottomside i read what there was. A comment section. Comment of a student from Waseda University, and she's Indonesian. My heart got jumped after that. It implied me that if she can, so do i, right? And i heard about Monbugakusho foundation, a well-known scholarship institute. This scolarship offered by Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. some 65,000 students from approximately 160 countries and regions around the world have studied in Japan under the Japanese Government Scholarship program established in 1954. Yet Indonesian Heard about this, i make out this decisions. Many things make me such motivated. I will be grateful if i can be accepted by Monbugakusho in order to enroll in National Art School, in Yokohama (yet i hope it be able acess directly to Art School) Master program of Animation, departement of Art because i want to be an Animator so badly, it will gave me more experience of my own work, my creation, and more expressive. And if i being a real Animator, i know where i should be begin. Indonesia has lose their best Animator, and i think i know when its

begin. So i will increased quality of Animation itself. And finally i made up myself that i would go to Japan after my Bachelor Program and next step to my Master degree. yours faithfully,

One of Indonesia’s effortto become a developed country is to modernize the technology and the industry. But the modernization of technology and industry can bring harm to the workers, such as occupational diseases and work-related accidents. I think it is necessary to health and safety officer/manager/specialist to protect the workers from those hazards, so the workers can be more productive. In order to assist my country, I decided to take my Master of Public Health degree in the University of Iowa with focus on Occupational and Environmental Health. I believe that obtaining a master degree in this field of study will help me to gain my competence, I will be ready for professional careers in occupational and environmental health, and I will have a broad overview of the public health perspective on occupational and environmental health.

Motivation Letter

Dewasa ini pendidikan bagi anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus masih belum terpenuhi sepenuhnya terutama di daerah terpencil bahkan di Jakarta yang notabennya merupakan kota besar pendidikan bagi ABK masih terbatas. Hal ini di perparah dengan minimnya tenaga pengajar yang berkualitas, tak jarang di temukan bahwa guru yang mengajar di sekolah-sekolah untuk ABK bukan berasal dari Jurusan Pendidikan Luar Biasa atau Pendidikan Khusus. Adapun sekolah yang merupakan alat vital bagi seorang ABK untuk mengenyam pendidkan juga belum memenuhi standar di mana kurikulum yang di gunakan tidak sesuai lagi dengan keadaan sekarang. Dapat dilihat di negera-negara maju seperti Inggris dan Amerika bahwa mereka telah menggunakan kurikulum pendidikan sekolah inklusif yang merupakan sekolah yang sangat ideal bagi ABK. Hal ini membuat saya merasa terpanggil untuk untuk ikut memberikan layanan pendidikan bagi ABK dan juga mebuat saya ingin mengembangkan sekolah inklusif di Indonesia. Adapun jalan untuk mewujudkannya, saya berencana untuk melanjutkan pendidikan tingkat master di University College London (UCL) dengan jurusan Special and Inclusive Education MA. Karena dengan kuliah di sana saya akan di tempa menjadi tenaga pendidik professional dan bias mengembangkan sekolah inklusif di Indonesia yang merupakan sekolah yang sangat ideal bagi ABK. UCL merupakan univeristas yang terletak di jantung kota Inggris yaitu London. Univeristas ini merupakan universitas No. 1 dalam bidang pendidikan di dunia menurut QS Ranking. Oleh karena itu dengan belajar di sana akan memberikan manfaat yang sangat besar bagi saya untuk menjadi tenaga pengajar professional dan juga bias mengmbangkan sekolah inklusif di Indonesia. Saya pribadi berpikir bahwa saya sangat setuiu untuk menjadi kandidat penerima Beasiswa LPDP ini, karena saya memiliki pengetahuan di bidang pendidikan luar biasa. Saya juga memiliki nilai yang bagus di setiap mata kuliah. Selama masa studi saya juga aktif mengikuti berbagai kegiatan dan komunitas yang berhubungan dengan disabilitas baik di dalam dan luar kampus. Saya akan sangat senang jika diterima untuk mendapatkan beasiswa karena dengan beasiswa tersebut saya akan mendapatkan banyak pengalaman dan manfaat dengan belajar serta melakukan riset di mana hal tersebut berguna untuk mewujudkan mimpi saya yaitu menjadi tenaga pengajar professional serta mengembangkan sekolah inklusif di Indonesia.

MOTIVATION LETTER

Hugo Fahpryan Lawrens Universitas Negeri Jakarta

Berawal dari SMA, saya merasa pada abad ke 20 ini ada 2 hal yang terpenting dalam kehidupan yaitu matematika dan teknologi informasi. Semua aktivitas manusia pasti melibatkan matematika dan teknologi. Keadaan ini memotivasi saya untuk memilih matematika dan teknologi informasi sebagai langkah selanjutnya pasca SMA, dan takdir memutuskan saya untuk menimba ilmu dalam bidang Teknologi Informatika dan Komputer di Universitas Negeri Jakarta. Di Universitas Negeri Jakarta ada 3 pilihan spesialisasi dalam Teknologi Informatika dan Komputer yaitu, Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak, Multimedia dan Teknik Komputer Jaringan. Saya memilih Multimedia untuk menjadi spesialisasi saya karena di dalam spesialisasi ini mengajarkan animasi serta desain grafis, dan pada abad 20 ini animasi dan desain grafis sangatlah penting baik yang 2 Dimensi ataupun 3 Dimensi. Di negara Indonesia, Malaysia dan beberapa negara berkembang lain sudah mulai menggunakan animasi untuk memasarkan produk, iklan layanan masyarakat ataupun film sedangkan di negara besar seperti Amerika, Jerman, Jepang dan beberapa negara besar lain sudah lama menggunakan animasi untuk pembuatan film ataupun iklan. Sebagai mahasiswa di Program Studi Pendidikan Teknologi Informatika dan Komputer, saya mempunyai banyak kesempatan untuk melakukan berbagai kegiatan. Saya memiliki kesempatan beberapa kali membantu dosen mengajar animasi komputer dalam materi motion graphic. Sebagai mahasiswa teknik informatika dan komputer juga saya membuat beberapa proyek desain animasi. Secara keseluruhan saya senang dengan catatan akademik saya dan saya percaya itu bisa menjadi modal saya untuk melanjutkan jenjang ke pasca sarjana. Di dalam program sarjana saya, saya sudah mendapatkan dasar-dasar dalam bidang animasi, tapi hal ini tidak cukup bagi saya untuk berbuat sesuatu yang bermanfaat bagi negara saya. Saya harus melanjutkan studi saya untuk memperkaya keterampilan saya dan memperluas pengetahuan saya. Saya memiliki rencana jangka panjang terhadap pengetahuan di Indonesia. Saya ingin memberikan ilmu keterampilan yang saya miliki kepada masyarakat yang belum paham dalam hal teknologi informatika dan komputer khususnya dalam bidang desain dan animasi, hal ini bisa membuka lapangan pekerjaan bagi masyarakat yang belum memiliki pekerjaan. Dengan pertimbangan semua faktor di atas, saya percaya bahwa pilihan studi saya dapat berguna bagi Indonesia secara umum. Saya menganggap diri saya pantas untuk menjadi kandidat yang baik untuk beasiswa DAAD karena saya muda, mudah bergaul, energik, pekerja keras, visioner serta termotivasi untuk melakukan sesuatu untuk negara saya pasca studi pasca sarjana. Saya akan melakukan yang terbaik dengan segala usaha untuk negara saya. Dengan ilmu dan

keterampilan yang saya miliki saat ini, saya merasa belum puas dan tidak cukup untuk bisa melakukan sesuatu untuk negara saya. Saya percaya bahwa saya dapat melakukan jauh lebih baik jika saya ilmu dan keterampilan saya dilatih dan dikembangkan melalui master of fine art di Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar, Jerman.

Their Education system and dicipline is valuable to be exemple for Indonesian’s education system. Then , when i graduate, I want to implement it in indonesia. What skills and knowledge do you hope to gain and how do you purpose to use them? theoritical physic in Ultrech University. University that has given create some nobelist. Ultrech’s library has complete collection of book and Ultrech’s students collage have unlimited access, so it will help my study very much. In my bachelor program, i have trouble finding a reference to complete my tasks, because we have a limited collection. In addition, other libraries, out of my collage, also have a fewer collection. I and my friends have to visited some library just just to find references in a course. It was an unefficient time. Plus, the street jammed in Jakarta, it was exhausting and wasting time. If i would be back to Indonesia, i want to facus in prospective teacher education, especially as a theoritical physic lecturer. Becouse, in Indonesia, we have physic’s lecturer shortage. Besides, when I was in bachelor program, i often had several tasks that are directly related to physic teacher. To solve my tasks, i often have to met with physic education student in master program. They recognized that not fully mastered the material, even tough they have to teached their students. They recomended me to so taked adventage my time to study well in my bachelor program. So, i think that, become a physic theoritical lecturer is the best choice.

Along with my academic devotion, I am also extremely passionate about vocal group. Throughout high school, I played an Alto for my vocal group school, in Delta Voice team. We were undefeated in the city for two years that I played. In college, I also hope to be able to continuedoingg the vocal group that I love.

College has been a dream for many generations of my family.

Her sacrifices have enabled me to focus on becoming the first person in my family to pursue higher education. I plan to succeed, regardless of what obstacles come my way.

MOTIVATION LETTER

Dear Sir/Madam,

With this letter, I would like to express my interest to continue my study in Europe. I believe that Indonesia is a great country. With all Indonesia’s resources, this country can transform into a developed country. Unfortunately, Indonesia has not given proper attention to logistics sector, which is logistics sector can support the development of this country. Logistics costs in every industry in Indonesia are still very high. In fact, logistics sectors have important roles in spreading the economic growth. But, blaming the government is not a wise way. This condition encourages me to take a bigger role to improve logistics system in Indonesia. Europe consists of many developed countries. Therefore, it makes me interested to learn about good logistics system there. One of the developed countries in Europe is Netherlands. As a developed country, Netherlands must have had good logistics system. Moreover, Netherlands also has a good system in education, especially in higher education. There are so many universities in Netherlands stand in the top rank as the best universities in the world, such as TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, University of Groningen, and many others. In conclusion, I would like to point out that I am determined to continue my study in Netherlands, especially in logistics, transportation, and infrastructure major. I will learn, as much as I can, all about logistics system and implement all of its in Indonesia. At the end, I would like to say that if I get the scholarship, I promise giving my best to contribute to make a better Indonesia. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely, Ahmad Aqsha

After graduating, I plan to work first for about 2 years, afterward I plan to continue my studies to pursue a master degree in one of the University in Switzerland.

Developmental psychology can be applied in several fields, such as in the field of education. The curriculum of education in Indonesia itself has not adjusting well to follow the development of children, especially the early childhood. Hopefully, if I could get a scholarship to continue my studies in psychology, particularly the psychology of developmental, then I could be one of the professionals who help contribute to develop Science of psychology, especially in Indonesia, and help develop an education curriculum that better alongside with the developmental stage of children, so the quality of life of children in Indonesia could be better because they get education according to their developmental stage.

MOTIVATION LETTER Greetings, Hello, I am Himatulkholisa. I am a person who have full of determination, love doing new things, easy to adapt in society, cheerful, honest, and innocent. Sometimes, I am

a the one who doing something without a concept or target, so sometimes I can become a deadliner person. Although I am a deadliner, but for a job, you can rely on me. I am responsible with the tasks given even though the task was beyond the limits of my ability, I'll still try to do it. I took a major in biology non education from state university in Jakarta. I took this field of study because I am really interested in nature and environment. These things can make me think and feel closer to Allah SWT. If we lookback, I really do not have a background in natural sciences because, before I graduated from a vocational school where I never get the biology subject. In other words, it can be said that I am 'trapped' in a world called biology. Although I felt trapped, perhaps because of the help of the Creator, I can survive in this world even though the way I experienced was very hard. Starting from vocational schools who have the soul of the field, until the time of preparation towards SNMPTN, I get enlightenment in biology that could go into the field, then I intend to take biology. However, even the biological world is not easy, that had to memorize the Latin name, write the Latin name correctly, know the mechanisms and physiological processes related to anatomy, until learn about immunity. From the beginning I entered the biology, the score or we called it gpa that I get is not always good, until I get the gpa 2.00, and it made my mental breakdown, so I'm thinking 'Should I have to stop here?' but because of the support and help from my parents and friends, I still can survive and learn more about biology. Until I'm in third semester, and I got biochemistry, also given the task by my lecture to present about myoglobin. This is where I started to thinking that turns biology is fun and meaningful, the little things that are inside our body, even its in the blood, it can be something that very meaningful and can be a concern. From here I am determined that I will explore more about biology especially about molecular biology, so that I could become an expert in this field. If seen from experience, my experience in molecular is not much, it is only became a biochemical laboratory assistant, interns student of Faculty of medicine research center that examines the development of a vaccine adjuvant lysteriolisin, and became a trainee in the field of biosafety and molecular cloning. However, my experience in wildlife photography can be quite proud of. Became the first winner of the photography competition wildlife category in the event smashB UNJ, become a favourite winner Bioleaf UNJ wildlife photography competition, top five photos of wildlife categories in the event from greeners.co.id, as well as became a paticipant of photo exhibition of the in the water bird seminar KPB Nycticorax UNJ. Although my experience is not much, but I really had the intention and ambition to get on towards molecular. That's why I chose to continue my studies in the field of molecular biology. Currently, I would do my research about the relationship of hemoglobin with cancer and its relation with hypoxia. If I really get a chance to be able to continue my studies in the fields of molecular, I want to become an expert in this field and continue my research. Because of that, please allow me to be able to get this scholarship so that I can make my parents proud and achieve my dream. Because in me always embedded a sentence that 'a person can be successful if he is serious about pursuing and achieve his dream'.

Thankyou

Regards,

Himatulkholisa

Motivaton Letter

Memiliki kesempatan untuk melanjutkan belajar di luar negri siapa yang tidak mau? Semua orang di seluruh dunia pasti memiliki impianuntuk dapat mengikuti perkuliahan bahkan dapat mendapatkan gelar Doktor di salah satu Universitas ternama di dunia. Dan salah satu orang tersebut adalah saya sendiri, Anisa Zakia. Sejak kecil saya sudah memiliki mimpi untuk dapat mengelillingi seluruh negri di belahan dunia ini. Bertemu dengan wajah-wajah seluruh negri dari setiap penjuru dunia yang berbeda. berkenalan dengan bebagai macam kebudayaan dan peradaban. Tentunya itu sangat menyenangkan. Ketertarikan saya untuk meneruskan pendidikan di luar negri, khususnya negara-negara eropa tidak datang begitu saja melainkan banyak pengaruh-pengaruh yang telah memotivasi saya sendiri. Dan beberapa motivasi itu adalah: 1. Motivasi Agama Faktor pertama yang terus memotivasi saya adalah agama saya sendiri, Islam. Islam sebagai agama yang menjunjung tingggi ilmu pengetahuan memberikan penghargaan yang sangat besar kepada siapapun pemeluknya yang berilmu. Banyak ayat-ayat AlQur’an yang mendorong umatnya tanpa memandang perbedaan gender antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Sebagaimana Nabi terakhir kami sampaikan dalam salah-satu hadisnya tentang perlunya kaum muslimin menuntut ilmu bahwa “Menuntut ilmu itu merupakan kewajiban yang dibebankan kepada pundak setiap individu umat islam, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan”. Kutipan hadis tersebut menambah semangat kepada diri saya pribadi yang cinta terhadap ilmu pengetahuan yang senantiasa bertekad untuk mengisi kehidupan dengan terus mencari ilmu. Seperti yang kita tahu bahwa mencari ilmu itu tak pernah ada batasan-batasan yang menghalanginya.Baik batasan jenis kelamin, usia, ataupun ruang dan waktu. Dan itu semua didukung oleh agama kami dan mungkin semua agama manapun sepakat dengan hal ini. Salah satu riwayat yang sering kami dengar dalam sebuah pernyataan Rasul kami Muhammad adalah “Tuntutlah ilmu dari buaian hingga liang lahat” . jadi Islam menginginkan pendidikan seumur hidup. Tidak pernah ada kata selesai ataupun terlambat untuk mencarinya. Bahkan, di dalam doktrin agama kami Rasul Muhammad juga mengatakan bahwa “tuntutlah ilmu sekalipun di negri Cina”.Hadis tersebut sangat jelas sekali menggambarkan semangat pencarian ilmu yang hanya tidak terbatas pada negri tempat kita sendiri dilahirkan. Kita bisa pergi mencari ilmu dimana saja dan kapan saja. Dan Cina yang dimaksud dalam hadis tersebut mewakili satu dari banyak negara di dunia. Meminjam istiilah dari Mulyadi Kartanegara bahwa cukup signifikan untuk menyebut Cina karena bisa jadi ia menyimbolkan batas dunia.Sehingga sangat relevan

juga ketika kita berkesempatan untuk dapat berkuliah di luar negri dimana pun universitas itu berada. 2. Infrastruktur Tak dapat disangkal lagi hari ini Barat adalah pemegang dan pusat kemajuan Ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di dunia. sejak permulaan abad ke-20 berbagai macam penemuan telah ditemukan oleh ilmuan-ilmuan barat meskipun kemajuan barat dewasa ini tak bisa lepas dari kontribusi ilmuan-ilmuan Islam pada abad keemasan di zaman klasik. Dengan pesatnya kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi menjadikan segala kebutuhan hidup manusia dapat dilakukan dengan mudah tak terkecuali semua infrakstruktur yang terdapat di universitas-universitas ternama di sana. Dengan fasilitas yang memadai dan teknologi canggih, semua itumembantu mempermudah proses kegiatan belajar mengajar di dalam kelas bahkan untuk proses penelitian sekaligus. Hal itu membuat saya menjadi lebih termotivasi dan menempatkannya menjadi alasan motivasi kedua saya. Karena meskipun kita mempelajari mata kuliah yang sama antara di negri sendiri dan di luar negri hasilnya pasti tetap berbeda. hal tersebut dapat dipengaruhi oleh dosen-dosen yang mengajar maupun ketersediaan fasilitas-fasilitas. 3. Melatih Tanggungjawab dan Kesabaran Hidup di negri orang tidak akan sama dengan hidup di negri sendiri.Sebagai seorang perantau kita dengan sendirinya akan belajar tentang tanggung jawab dan kesabaran penuh ketika kita hidup bersama orang-orang yang berasal dari budaya yang beranekaragam. Kita seakan diberikan tanggung jawab yang lebih berat karena membawa kebanggaan negri sendiri. Dan ialah beban tersebut bagaimana kita mempertahankan kebanggan yang berasal dari tanah air tercinta. Apalagi dibandingkan dengan fisik tentu kita jauh lebih kalah, dalam hal ini kita bisa dianggap dan dihormati bukan dari fisik melainkan dari kemampuan kita sehingga harga mati jika kita sudah berada di sana karena membawa kehormatan negara dan mendorong diri kita pribadi untuk secara maksimal menunjukan kemampuan yang terbaik. Tidak hanya itu, bersedia untuk belajar di luar negri berarti kita harus siap untuk berlatih kesabaran, karena apapun keadaanyang akan terjadi di sana pasti sangat jauh berbeda dengan keadaan di negri sendiri. Entah itu masalah gaya hidup, cuaca, bahkan makanan sekalipun. Kedua hal tersebut begitu memotivasi saya sekaligus menjadi tantangan untuk dapat berkesempatan kuliah di luar negri. 4. Faktor Ekonomi Jelas sekali banyak orang yang ingin meneruskan pendidikan mereka di luar negri. Namun kadangkala impian mereka pupusdi tengah jalan ketika dihadapkan dengan biaya yang harus dikeluarkan termasuk biaya hidup sekalipun.

Sebagai seorang yang berasal dari keuarga dengan taraf ekonomi rendah saya tidak ingin impian saya hilang dengan begitu saja hanya karena faktor ini. Justru dengan keadaan saya saat ini saya lebih termotivasi lagi untuk berlomba-lomba menjadi orang yang layak meneruskan pendidikan ke jenjang yang kebih tinggi bahkan mendapatkan beasiswa di luar negri. 5. Meningkatkan Kemampuan Bahasa Asing Faktor kelima yang tak kalah pentingyang selalu memotivasi saya sepanjang hidup untuk kuliah di luar negri adalah faktor bahasa. Kita semua tahu bahwa salah satu persyaratan agar kita bisa lolos seleksi beasiswa luar negri dibuktikan dengan nilai tes TOEFL dan ada juga beberapa universitas yang meminta hasil tes IELTS. Dengan adanya persyaratan tersebut dapat mendorong anak bangsa terutama saya untuk lebih meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa Inggris danada juga beberapa persyaratan yang meminta agar calon penerima beasiswa mampu sedikit menguasai bahasa tempat dimana Negara tersebut akan memberikan beasiswa. Persyaratan tersebut begitu menantang saya dan selalu mengingatkan tentang pentingnya arti sebuah perjuangan demi mendapatkan sesuatu yang ingin dicapai apalagi mengenai kemampuan berbicara bahasa asing terutama bahasa Inggris yang menjadi bahasa international. Kiranya tidak salah pula kalau ada suatu pepatah yang mengatakan bahwa “Kuasailah bahasa maka engau dapat menaklukan dunia”. Itulah beberapa faktor-faktor yang sangat memotivasi saya untuk dapat melanjutkan pendidikan di luar negri terlebih saya mendapatkan beasiswa dalam melanjutkan pendidikan tersebut. Aamiin. Salam Perjuangan, Anisa Zakia (Mahasiswi UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakrta)

Dear Madam or Sir, My name is Nurul Khairunnisa, I'm 18 years old. I graduated from Senior High School in Bekasi.

About 10 years ago, when my sister took Psychology in one of the university in Indonesia, I thought that Psychology isn't important. Because working in Indonesia doesn't need Psychology. By the time, I think that Psychology is important factors in our life. Because whatever we do, all of it comes from the mind and behavior. And it is learned in Psychology. I like to analyze people around me of their behavior and motivations. I want to explore the science of the mind and human nature. I'm very interested how to increase my knowledge about human nature and understanding of human needs, human problems, and how such factors interact within individual, group, and community. That's why I want to be a Psychologist. And I believe that everything what we do are from our mindset. If we want to be better, we should positive thinking. And I will prove that positive thinking has many benefits. Because the most people around me don’t believe about the miracle of positive thinking. Recently, I think why many people have different characteristics. There are good or bad people. If I meet bad people, I would like to affect their behavior to be a good person. And if I meet good people, I will ask them how to do that. So it can be a good suggestion for me and people around me. Perhaps it's just a simple activity. But from simple activity, the big change is will started. In the future, I will assess and evaluate the problems of my patients and help them in overcoming their personal issues. And I want to help people facing problems, especially in Indonesia.

Letter of Motivation Tangerang, 03 February 2016 Festival Studi Luar Negeri 2016 (FSLN)

My name is Syifa Fadhilah, I am 21 years old and currently a student of eighth semester in State University of Jakarta with a major in English Language Education Study Programme, and therefore I will accept a degree Bachelor of Education in this year. Since I was at elementary school, my dream was to be a teacher especially an English teacher. My family occupation background is teacher and lecturer as well. I have a big interest and passion in teaching people specifically children. It has grown since I was a little girl, I often played around with my friend to be a teacher-student in the classroom then we pretend to be a teacher or student in that moment. I thought that to be a good teacher is one of the good things to do because since that time, I believe that teachers can make someone be a better person in the future and they can share their knowledge as well with teaching and educating. And so I had a dream that one day in the future I would get to share my knowledge, teach and educate people specially children by becoming a teacher. I thought it would not just be an exciting experience but also something that would broaden my mindset and understanding towards learning to be a teacher and educator. I have always interested in learning English language, it has shown since I was in my junior high school. I have joined some English courses in my boarding school. I enjoy learning English because I thought that it was so fun and English is my favourite language. I realize that now English has to be a means of international communication. All people around the world are trying to learn English as their communication language with people in other countries. And therefore, I choose English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) as my major in my current study. Since I was a student of ELESP in State University of Jakarta, I have studied some interesting subjects and discussed several topics related to education. I have taken several subjects related to teaching such as Language Learning Teaching Theory, English Language Teaching Methodology, Classroom Based Assessment, Curriculum Material Development, etc. When I was at my second semester of my study, I tried to teach English for junior high school in some study clubs to start my teaching experience. I have also recruited in one of elementary schools to be an English teacher for 3 years till now.

So with these reasons above, I am giving a try to myself to continue my master study in University of Adelaide with a major in Master of Education. I know this program is suitable for me to teach in higher education environment and develop my educational research capability. I also see some interesting and relevant courses in this program such as TESOL Methodology, Educational Issues in a Global Community, Creative Teaching in History Curriculum, etc. I choose University of Adelaide because I see the opportunity comes from there. I know that University of Adelaide is one of Australia’s most prestigious universities. The university seems very welcome cultural diversity. Adelaide ranked as the world’s 5th most liveable city, most affordable city with the lowest cost living of all the mainland capital cities; it becomes a multicultural city and easily accessible city with free city transport and student discount available. Therefore, I am sure by taking a study of Master of Education in the University of Adelaide I will earn more knowledge regarding teaching and education in other context and environment.

I am Rizkita Kurnia Putri, the 1st year student of Jakarta State University I have always been thinking about my future, building a career, becoming a successful person and generally finding my own path in the life. Almost all my family including my uncles, aunts and cousins have their jobs which somehow connected to the field of technology. I have grown among intelligent people and it had great

influence on the development of my personality so since early childhood I have learnt the importance of education. My school teachers always noted that I had good abilities in such subjects as mathematics and physics. This increased my interest in exact sciences, and I decided to connect my future career with technological area of activity, wishing to gain success in the future. And if I become successful I will pay back my parents for their warmth and loving tender, as they have been those who have been supporting me throughout my life. For that reason I constructed a plan for achieving this long-term aim. By the plan I accomplished some small objectives: graduated from school in the number of the best students and won a scholarship to study in Jakarta State University. Three years letter I am going to graduate from my university and i have plan to enter one of the best universities of the world for my Masters’ degree. As it was before I started to find one with an opportunity to win a scholarship. I spent much time searching, and at last I chose Melbourne University The first acquaintance with your university began from collecting particular information about it. From the data I had found I managed to make some basic picture explaining why I chose it. Melbourne University is the biggest innovative centre which takes active part in the field of fundamental and applied sciences. Furthermore, the research investigations of students and scientists make a great contribution to the development of high technologies in and out of Melbourne. In addition to investigative work the university keeps on stimulating entrepreneurial abilities in its students. As far as my pertinent work experience is concerned, I would like to mention that when i was in Vacational High School, i was undergoing training in local telecommunication company for 1 year. This company devotes itself to providing wireless broadband Internet access to its customers. As a trainee I had many duties starting from reconfiguring equipment and finishing by arriving to a certain client to set up a network. During the training I managed to acquire some specific skills, for example, how to organize conduit in different kinds of buildings or how exactly a cable laying is implemented. Likewise, I got to know the structure of telecommunication agency. In addition, I learnt the principles of team work and improved my communicative abilities. As a result, after completion of the training I was given a qualification of assistant engineer. As regards my interests, I am glad to say that I am not a person who is only engaged in studies. I have dozens of activities which I like to do. Generally, I would like to note that I have always kept healthy lifestyle. I was taught that it is much better to struggle with your sicknesses by developing your health rather than taking drugs infinitely. All these clearly define my high interest in keeping healthy lifestyle that is reflected in my big love of sport. For instance, I am a real mountaineer. Thus I always try to find some time to go out and play such a wonderful game with my friends. In addition, I also like such kinds of sports that upgrade strength, stamina, reaction and flexibility. That is why the list of my favourite sports is very wide including not only mountaineering but also basketball, swimming, long-distance jogging, sprint, table tennis.

Finally, I cannot forget that reading books is another passion of mine. Thus, most of all I prefer science fiction, fantasy and detective novels as my favourite genres. With respect to my future career, as I mentioned before the fact, that Melbourne University links its activity with investigative work and at the same time develop entrepreneurial skills of its students, is a fundamental reason of why I desire to study exactly here. The question is that our nation is lack of highly qualified specialists in the field of telecommunication. What is more, as user I am not satisfied with the level of provision of different telecommunication services that are also very expensive and I am sure that I am not the only one who supposes so. I believe that our country has much more potential; therefore, as a true patriot, I wish to contribute to the development of the national telecommunication. In other words, if I gain the Masters’ degree in Melbourne university then I am going to return back to my homeland to make efforts to establish my own telecommunication company for the purpose of providing telecommunication of a high quality at a reasonable price. To implement such goal I need to improve my leadership qualities and acquire special knowledge in chosen field of education, which will be possible if I join Melbourne University. In conclusion, I would like to say that if I become a student of Melbourne University, I promise to be a worthy member of the team. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

Rizkita Kurnia Putri

From childhood to adulthood, I was studying in elementary, middle, and high school which located in Jakarta. Yesterday, at September 2015, I recently completed my undergraduate education in Computer Science (BCS or S.Kom) at the Campus UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

Since entry into IT department, I was quite interested in the field of information technology which grows continuously in worldwide. I learned a lot of lessons delivered by the lecturer in the classroom and the more I learn in communities associated with the IT sector. I think technology will continue to dominates and grows in the world and will be as the solution to any problems that exist in society. One of the things I was interested in the world of IT is that technology can solve problems and be a perfect solution for every problem in the world. My experience started in 2013 when I stepped in fifth semester. At the time I signed up as a Microsoft Student Partner (MSP). I through very long stages when registering at Microsoft until finally I elected as MSP represent my campus UIN Jakarta. I do some job at Microsoft with the concept of learn, share, and influence. So I am always learning new technologies developed in the world then the next step I share and distribute all of it to peoples in Indonesia. MSP has made me often called to be a speaker and workshop presenter at several institutions and universities in Indonesia. At the beginning of 2014 when I become as a speaker at the MSP’s event, I met someone and asked to work part time at oil and gas national companies in Indonesia which name is Pertamina. In pertamina I worked as a developer of software applications for internal and external company. One application that I developed during my work there is www.phe-wmo.com, the company portal website. With a chance to get around from campus to campus from event to event has opened my network to meet with friends from other campuses and some professional worker. Until finally at the end of 2013 I attended an international competition titled Nokia Create International Competition. In the competition I with my friend thank God became the second winner or runner-up under contestants from Italy. Although at second place, this experience has opened my eyes about the extent of the information technology world out there. Finally on my next competition, I become the first winner in the competition entitled App Development Competition held at UGM Jogjakarta. These accomplishments eventually led me to make a small company or a startup called Elvbit Studio. I invite my friends in the class to join and cooperate working on IT projects that I get. Thank God this business earn enough for my friends and me to pay for college and pocket money for college. Startup Elvbit Studio continue until today and has become an official company named PT. Nuri Technology Ultima. At the company I became one of the Co-Founder.

With a wide range of experience I have gained, I have the vision to become a successful entrepreneur in the field of IT or so-called as technopreneur. I will continue to learn and get experience as much as possible to be a successful technopreneur. I began to realize this vision by creating an IT company. I hope that this company will continue to be developed successfully and can reduce the number of unemployed peoples in my country Indonesia.

Statement of Purpose / Motivation Latter Anggi Angelina PAT

Dear Madam / Sir,

The Miracle Worker movie will always motivated me, it’s based on the true story. The movie’s about Helen Keller, how she knows words with her inability. Her ability to recognize the words is not far from the greatness of her teacher Annie Sullivan. Annie teach Helen with so much patience and love. Annie show us that teach is not just about told something or give something new, but show the meaning of lesson. From Annie I know that being a teacher is not simple thing. Being a teacher means that I need to know more about my student, being close to them and teach them the meaning of the lesson with all my heart. This story impressed me so much, so that I am obseesed to be a profesional teacher in physics. Why physics? Because most of student in Indonesia hate physics more than the other lesson. Why is that happend? Most of the reason because the teacher can’t be the real teacher supposed to be. Teaching physics need so much attention and be open minded to the student. In Indonesia, teacher who teach physics is just give a new chapter just like lecture. It would be so bored for student who doesnt know anything. More than that, if this is happend repeatedly, the student will hate physics, they will think that physics was so difficult. Besides, the one whose wrong is the teacher that didn’t know how to teach profesionally, or the teacher who doesn’t really understand about physics. That’s why I want to change that. I wanna be a professional teacher, a real teacher for student in physics. I want to inspire the other teacher in Indonesia how is teacher supposed to be. I want to inspire student in Indonesia that physics is not so difficult, that physics is fun lesson to learn. I want to make the student in Indonesia love physics so they can compete in the national or international olympic, or they can make something new with physics concept. In order to do that, I have decide to take my bachelor degree into the next level and set my master degree in the field of physics education as my next target. Because obtaining this master degree will give me solid skills and knowladges to help me achieve my dream. And afterward, when it is still possible, I also planned to continue my study in the doctoral degree of the same field of my study, before I will finally going back to my homeland and become teacher, lecture also researcher at a University in my homeland (after a couple years of research experience in Finland).

I personally think that I will be a suitable candidate for University of Helsinki’s Master Program of Physics education, because I have a solid knowladge in Physics. I can prove it with my GPA of 3,3 (scale of 0-4, with 4 as the highest). Education in Finland is what I’m looking for this all time. Finland is very popular with one of the country’s best education in the world. And I will be very happy be one of the student of Finland with all my dream. Because I’m going to prove that I can realize my dream when I’m going back to my homeland. During my bachelor studies, I was involved in many student organizations activities. I’m a hardworking and careful student in my class that’s why I can be an assistant professor in practicum class for 2 times in very young semester. I also follow the race scientific work even if I lose. I often become a leader in many work lesson, debate class, and the last time that I can’t forget become a leader in real work lesson. It is the last lesson in 7th semester that I and my fourteen friends have to lived in one village in one house to teach the villagers about how to take adventages from new simple technology to have a new income. In that time I can prove to my self and my friends that I can be a leader not a boss. These experiences make me able to blend and work in team easily. I will be greatful if I can be accepted to become one of student in University of Helsinky Master Program of Physics Education, because it will give me a lot of benefit especially learn how to be a professional teacher in one of the best education country. And it will also really help me to live up my dream being a professional teacher.

yours faithfully,
