When I was in Junior High School, really I do not like very much about learn English or others language from another country. Then, when I continued to Senior High School….oh seriously, I must learn English and Japanese. I’ll repeat…”must”. So you can predict my academic score for both of them, I always got bad score. Shame of me. Ok, then I continued my study to Bachelor degree (I took Psychology). There is a terms in my college that we must get 400 for minimum score in TEP (Test of English Proficiency) so you can take final task or in Indonesia will called as “skripsi” for your graduated process. I guess I’ll fail, but! I got 403. So it will have mean that actually I have a (very) little skill on English may be? So that way, I have more confident with English. Day by day, I got KPOP syndrome and everyday I was watching Korea’s TV shows, musics, dramas, movies and variety shows! Until I want to watching them with same time in Korea, so I begged to my parents for use and pay TV cable so I can watch my favorite Korea’s TV show with same time in Korea. But, there is a problem…most of the chanel TV are use English as a subtitle included my favorite Korea’s TV show. Seriously!? But, because of these problem I got forced to learn English and Korea. Until now, I never took course for my English skill, just from TV or music that I was listen. But, of course get help from my mother who is went to some country in Europe for long time ago (jelously). So that way, now I love very much with English (and Korea…anyeonghaseyo). My interest to learn English are supported by my currently job. Now, as a HR & GA in some Japanese restaurant (so sorry I’ve been hate Japanese languange when Senior High School, really)…Sometimes I need to use English for ask some products that I’m looking for my company’s need from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan even from Italy or Germany. So I’ve more motivated for learn and learn English more. Even if I’m 23 years old now, I want to study English again and I will take course for it. Oh…I’m forget to say, because of there are so many people around me that continue their study in overseas..it will more motivate me to take study for magister in overseas too. What country? You can guess it! One of some country that I’ve mentioned before. I’ll took “Psychology of Consumer”. So, today…in 2017, 27 August and at 10.00 PM…I’ve promise to my self that I will learn English better and searching for scholarship program. God bless you who is say “aamiin” for my dream and my pray.

NB: So this is my English skill right now, I never took TOEFL and English course (but I will). So please forgive me for my bad English and I’ll really thank you if you can give me a comment for correct my English. Thank you so much!
