Menyeberang ke Eropa dalam Hitungan Menit

SAAT ini saya sudah beberapa minggu berada di Turki atau lebih dikenal dengan julukan Bumi Al-Fatih, tepatnya di Istanbul bagian Asia. Ya, Istanbul merupakan satu-satunya kota yang berada di dua benua sekaligus, yaitu Asia dan Eropa.
Karena saya mahasiswa baru pada tahun ini, jadi saya harus mengurus berbagai keperluan, seperti pembuatan kartu pelajar, kartu transportasi, surat izin tinggal, mendaftarkan handphone ke kantor pajak, registrasi ke universitas yang diterima, dan lain-lain.
Pengurusan tersebut tak semuanya bisa diurus di Istanbul bagian Asia, melainkan di Istanbul bagian Eropa. Maka dari itu saya harus mencapai tujuan tersebut dengan menggunakan berbagai macam moda transportasi yang ada di sini seperti bus, kereta api, kapal, dan kereta api bawah laut.

Ke Eropa Naik Kapal

Puji dan syukur yang selalu saya panjatkan ketika mendapatkan kesempatan untuk memperoleh beasiswa penuh dari pemerintah turki untuk melanjutkan pendidikan s1 saya. Tak terpikirkan sebelumnya bahwa negara yang terletak di dua benua ini adalah tempat yang akan menjadi sumber pengetahuan saya.

Saya memang baru beberapa hari berada di negara ini. Namun banyak hal yang sudah saya dapatkan, mulai dari penyambutan di bandara oleh pihak penyelenggara beasiswa ini hingga kami diantarkan ke asrama masing-masing.

Setelah 3 hari berada di asrama, tepatnya di Uskudar, Istanbul, saya dan seluruh penerima beasiswa segera mengurus keperluan untuk pelajar yang baru datang, seperti regitrasi asrama, registrasi kelas bahasa, dan pembuatan kartu pelajar untuk transportasi. Kelebihan memiliki kartu pelajar ini, tarif yang dikenakan akan lebih murah 50 % dari tarif kartu transportasi umum.

Developing a Good and Positive Human Relation in Local NGO (LCO)


A.    Background
Many ways to make a good relationship among public service with people. Even like government institution, company, research center, NGO, and comunity have their own way to make the good service for the people. Although sometimes there’re some internal or external constraints and conflicts, but they have their own way to overcome the problems. So, for this example, we choose a local NGO to identify any conflicts in the workplace and how to overcome the conflicts. That NGO is named Lost Children Operation (LCO).
Lost Children Operation (LCO) located in Peukan Bada sub-district. LCO is a local NGO that focus on children protection and education, this NGO gets response from the public, although still requiring development. This institution built as a legitimate local NGO on May 25th, 2005 that led by Tgk. H. Abdullah Madyah. This institution was born after earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2004. In principle is to looking for the children who survived from disaster by visiting places of potential. According to the concept, this institution get special attention from the public. At first, this institution is under the coordination and funded by DPD-RI and then taken over by the funding and support of charitable institutions from Japan, namely People’s Association on-Conscience (PAC) in Kyoto, Japan.

I'm Interested in ...


Every single body has their own interested in, although they don't say it by words, but they will say it by their activities or their body language. according to that, I will tell about if I'm interested in sociology, because I love social working. I have some experiences about social working. I also join in some organizations that focus about social working. So, I want to learn more about sociology. As we know, too many natural disasters occurred in Indonesia everywhere, so that all victims need our help through our social, justice, careness to lessen their suffering. I love social, especially socialize to the children who need happiness, sometimes I like to be the teacher for them to teach every basic lessons and give some motivations. I like world child. So in this opportunity, I want to choose Sociology Department to continue my higher education. In the past, many friends always ask me to do their homework together, surely I always help them to understand about the lesson as I can. Actually I’m not clever on that, but my friends didn't care about that, the important thing is I can help a little bit it’s enough. Because they said that they like the person like me who sincerely help each other without hope anything. 

In Addition, I also interested in Communication Department, because human being need to communicate to get the information, share experiences or create interactions with other people. Everybody must to talk, even though without words, but our expressions, movement, and intention are include to Communication. I want to build link with all people wherever they are. I really want to pursue my education in those Department. I can accomplish my ability if given the chance to get the way like scholarship. I like to be a social worker and I like to build relationship through Communication.
