Please write about any previous commendable experiences, any extracurricular
activities you hope to pursue after
you have entered the university, and your plans after graduation
from APU.
Today I live in a country that still needs a lot of improvement. Because of
this, it is my responsibility to help my country.
Every Saturday morning, I participate in many community service activities
with members of my senior high school. I work as a volunteer teaching local
elementary school students. I have talked with these elementary school students
about environmental issues, the
arts, and any other topics the students
wanted to discuss. In addition to the work I did at the local elementary
school, I got a job managing and
reproducing as compost the organic waste of another local. I really enjoyed
collaborating with my students so much so that I served as a traditional dance
tutor at another local, Islamic elementary school. After
dedicating more than a half of my time in senior high school to
community service activities, I realized the importance of giving others
hope.
Moreover, it was only natural that I take on the role as the HIV/AIDS
ambassador of my school. I worked together with the National AIDS Commission on
organizing an event to celebrate the annual HIV/AIDS Day. As the person in
charge of that event, I really wanted to get my friends involved and raise their awareness about how HIV/AIDS
affects our community. Just as I worked with the National AIDS Commission and
my friends to help support a worthy cause, joining forces with the
multicultural students of APU can further help me achieve my dreams of solving
many global issues.
As indicated by the above
experiences, I intend to further my extra-curricular activities by joining the
APU volunteerism and local exchange programs. This will allow me to contribute
to the improvement of global communities, especially for Japan as my host
country. During my time in this program,
I will gladly share my senior high experiences in order to help others
understand better people’s living conditions in developing countries. With this
knowledge, together we can promote peace and understanding between developed
and developing countries as well as create a plan to help improve the lives of
people in developing countries. After
that, I will come back to Indonesia
and invest my time in making a better
life for Indonesian people. I want to encourage all people around me to take
care of themselves and enhance their life skills in order to succeed in life. I
want to rebuild their confidence to face the world, and strengthen their
passion in education. That is all I have to do in order to initiate change.
