50 kilometers from London

By in Global Changemakers

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes

Have you read this? That day, I still sent the application form. It was not even fulfilled yet, I only filled half of it. One day later, I got a call from Fajar Anugerah, a British Council staff. He and his team were going to wait for my essay video. So, I recorded the video in my room (while other applicants recorded theirs at the beach, garden, park, museum, etc) and sent the link to them (though Mum was a bit irritated because I couldn’t bring her camera to the Disney Live event because of that!). It’s a bit hard to say this but, on October 31, 2008, I got an e-mail from Louise Cowper, from British Council UK, saying that I am being selected to attend Global Changemakers Guildford Forum 2009 in Guildford, UK, on January 2009. I’m so excited! Wish me luck in representing Indonesia. If I’m good enough, I’ll be flying to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum 2009.

Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin. Thank you, Mum, Dad, Astrid Wulandari, Fajar Anugerah, Hugh Moffatt. Although I haven’t even departed yet, I am happy already.
