I graduated from law degree at a
criminal law from University of
Indonesia so this is my university and
my master’s in international relations
focusing in ASEAN study for me I’ve been
always interesting in learning but I
know everyone have their own style of
learning and a figure out my way of
learning is from people connected with
people people to people since till 2008
I’ve been engaging with a lot of
communities NGOs organizations having
any friends like you guys you know in
here and then competing with a lot of
organizations a lot of seminars within
Indonesia but if you don’t know where
it’s exactly my country is I’m gonna
tell you a little bit about Indonesia so
we are the biggest Muslim population in
the world we have won more than 1,300
tribes in Indonesia with more than 1,200
local languages so engaging with
indonesian young people even though we
are coming with the same academic
background but when we have one
perspective it comes with a different
kind of perspectives the question is why
because we’re coming from a various
cultural background so I reckon that
it’s not only the people the way I’m
learning but also connecting with their
culture my curiosity brought me to a
perspective that I can’t I don’t want to
stop learning just within my people in
my country but also the people outside
Indonesia I want to know what’s going on
outside Indonesia so but then coming
from a Muslim background family
not too conservative not too modern not
too poor and not for each as well my mom
will not allow me to go all alone abroad
without any specific reasons so I have
to figure out the way how am I going to
go abroad so I played with thousands of
competitions forum seminars okay a lot
of pepper works motivation letters went
through a lot of interviews a lot of
rejections too much and in 2012 I was
selected as the first and the only one
representative from Indonesia to attend
the International young women summit in
Munich Germany so I was well finally I
got it and the organizer happily to
provide me with a wig accomodation in
Munich in Germany but the problems start
okay so I got permission from my parents
but then they couldn’t help me with the
trouble because I have to pay my own
travel from Jakarta to Munich and I try
to negotiate with the attribute
negotiate with the organizer and they
say I’m really sorry we couldn’t help
you with the return ticket so I was
about to stop because I was a full-time
student I was 19 years old and I didn’t
have a sort of an income but I believe
this the greatest failure is not to try
so what I do okay I made a proposed or
nothing to lease I made a proposal I
went to the companies the company’s
offices the office these miracles
waiting one week two weeks no responses
I went to my university I spoke to my
Dean and I was hoping I will be getting
help from my Dean he happening but with
advice so he say you have to know
exactly what do you want and / get the
right one so I was thinking I want a
written tick
from Jakarta to Munich right so it means
I need to go to the Airlines company I
went to the guard Indonesia Airlines our
national airlines and I gave them my
proposal and I said look before you
reject my proposal please give me one
chance to speak about how this
conference mean for me waiting for one
two days three days no respond no call
so I waited for five days finally
there’s a call all right
agita we would like to have you for an
interview I went to the office no
surprise the question is why do we have
to give you the return ticket
so my answer was fin affiliations with
many organizations but on top of what I
will be doing after this program is our
pride to have the only one
representative from our country but
beyond that this is your contribution to
contribute as a better future
generations for our nation I went back
home waited again two days three days
five days then ten days there’s no calls
no emails and then the marketing of the
director called me and then have you
checked your email then he said we just
send you a return ticket
so this 19 years old Indonesian young
women finally made her way through all
the way from Jakarta to Munich all alone
for the first time I was nervous I was
excited but I was afraid I have seen
things never seen before but then once I
reached there the good things about this
program and make me completely become an
unforgettable memory for me because I
met people from all over the world young
women now become my sister hurt
we share stories about how girls gives
you around the world discrimination
exploitation about women in Nigeria
there’s also happening in Indonesia and
I realized that as a young women we have
lots of power and we are capable
accomplishing more than society expects
from us but another thing and this
conference it gives me as well is me as
19 years old young woman from Indonesia
not a native English stood on the stage
overcome to my public speaking fear

participants at the AL gist summit spoke
about my opinions and thoughts and one
thing that I learned about foreign
language a foreign language is assigned
of bravery and every languages has its
own power and its own value to change
the world that’s what I learned from my
visit the United Nations Edgewater in
