Baiklah kali ini saya akan menceritakan sedikit pengalaman yang sangat luar biasa (bagi saya) dalam lika-liku dan perjuangan mendapatkan tempat kuliah.
Untuk sedikit memberi tahu, saya bukanlah anak yang pemalas di sekolah, eh tapi kalo soal catat-mencatat saya memang rajanya malas, tapi kalau soal nilai dan rangking saya tetap memegang yang terbaik di 3 besar, saya juga sudah memegang sertifikat International dalam pertukaran pelajar ke USA, dan banyak sertifikat lainnya yang tentu saja saya kumpulkan dengan penuh perjuangan untuk masa depan saya, tapi apa mau dikata? saya tetap kalah bersaing dengan orang-orang hebat di luar sana.
Apalagi dengan adik-adik yang tidak pernah sedikit pun menyentuh yang namanya organisasi dan mengikuti berbagai kegiatan lainnya?
Soal Ujian Nasional saya tidak terlalu risau, karena setiap hari kami belajar di kelas sampai belajar kelompok di rumah teman-teman setiap malamnya, tapi bagaimana dengan persiapan untuk mengikuti SNMPTN yang sainganya ribuan orang? wassalam.
Apalagi saya berasal dari sekolah menengah kejuruan, bukan sekolah menengah atas, tentu saja pelajaran yang di bahas hanya beberapa dan dasar-dasarnya saja
Alhamdulillah saat kelulusan saya menjadi siswa lulus terbaik di sekolah, walau dengan nilai yang masih jauh di banding anak-anak sekolah favorit lain hal ini sduah cukup membanggakan bukan?
Mau tau rahasianya apa?
Saya percaya bahwa sesuatu yang kita ucapkan berulang-ulang akan menjadi kenyataan
maka dari itu seperti yang disarankan ibu saya, saya menulis di karton besar " DEBBY LULUS UJIAN NASIONAL TERBAIK " well akhirnya alhamdulillah saya mendapatkan apa yang saya mau
Begitu juga saat ingin ke USA, setiap hari saya memikirkan USA, saya memikirkan tempat dan detil daerah sana, menonton film-film yang berlatar di USA, menaruh foto USA di kamar, membuat cerpen dengan ending berada di USA, dan akhirnya saya bisa menginjakkan kaki di USA temaaaaan !
 |
| Rata-rata saya 8,8 |
 |
| Kertas kelulusan |
Nah setelah berhasil lulus dengan nilai terbaik selanjutnya apa?
saya berusaha mendaftar SNMPTN Undangan dengan jalur bidikmisi dengan memilih 2 uniersitas yaitu Universitas Andalas dan Universitas Riau dengan fakultas Hubungan International, wah karena saya terlalu percaya bahwa saya akan jebol dalam SNMPTN Undangan maka saya tidak mengikuti bimbel untuk persiapan SNMPTN Tulis, dan akhirnya saat melihat pengumuman secara online, jedaaaaar !
"Maaf anda tidak lulus dalam SNMPTN Undangan, jangan menyerah teruslah berusaha"
Shitmaaaan !
Aku bisa apa? yah langsung bangkit, langsung mendaftar SNMPTN Tulis dan tentunya yang bidik misi juga, kenapa? karena saya bukanlah berasal dari keluarga yang ekonomi menengah keatas, saya juga tidak ingin membebankan orang tua dengan biaya kuliah yang mencekik
Menurut info yang saya tahu, biaya kuliah bidik misi itu gratis full sampai lulus, tinggal di asrama dan mendapat uang saku sebesar 600 ribu setiap bulannya, sedangkan biaya SNMPTN Undangan yang reguler sekitar dibawah 5 juta, dan biaya SNMPTN Tulis dibawah 10 juta, seperti teman saya saat lulus SNMPTN Tulis jurusan Ekonomi di Universitas Andalas hanya butuh uang masuk sebesar 3 jutaan lebih, dan untuk kedokteran cukup 9 jutaan.
Yang ketiga ada jalur masuk Ujian Masuk Universitas Mandiri, nah ini sepenuhnya hak milik universitas, maka dari itu biayanya jauh lebih mahal, biaya jurusan ekonomi di Universitas Andalas bisa sekitar 9 jutaan, dan kedokteran 17 jutaan.
Itu masih Universitas Andalas loh belum lagi Universitas di daerah jawa, seperti teman saya di UPN veteran Jogjakarta menghabiskan uang sebesar 26 Juta untuk dapat masuk di jurusan Teknik Lingkungan
WOW sekali kan ! belum lagi UGM dan UI duh . . .
 |
| No Pendaftaran SNMPTN Undangan belasan ribu |
 |
| Informasi Jalur Undangan |
Waktu itu saya ikut tes SNMPTN Tulis di Universitas Andalas, padahal di Batam pun ada tepatnya di Tanjung Pinang, tapi saya iseng kesana, pengen tau dan dapat pengalaman baru di tempat baru.
Karena saya orangnya luwes (pede) saya dengan mudahnya mendapatkan teman dan tumpangan tentunya hihi, dengan model nekat saya ikut SNMPTN Tulis yang saya tidak tahu apa-apa, saya memilih jurusan IPS
woaaa di SMK saya tidak pernah belajar Sosiologi, Geografi, Bilogi dan lain-lain, jadi saya bisa apa? mencontek pun susah terpaksalah menggunakan sistim kancing baju, oh iya waktu itu baju saya tidak punya kancing, jadi pake kancing baju dosen *lol
Setelah berjuang melewati hari-hari SNMPTN ternyata saya dinyatakan tidak lulus, yah wong jawabnya pake kancing baju dosen lah piye to?
Saya tetap tidak putus asa, saya membeli PIN pendaftaran lagi ke Bank Nagari di Bukittinggi, oh iya thanks buat Oma yang udah semangat terus nemenin saya *cium mesra. Saya terus mengikuti tes SNMPTN Mandiri dan waaaaks ! saya ga jebol lagi hiks, cuma jebol di Universitas Bung Hatta dengan jurusan Management, saya kan pengennya Hubungan International ! hih
Dan putus asa tidak ada jalan lagi, saya kembali ke Batam dengan tangan membawa koper, bukan tangan hampa loh ya, masa sulit mulai terjalani, oh iya teman-teman saya juga banyak yang tidak jebol SNMPTN, SNMPTN itu benar-benar seperti hantu ! hiiiiiiii
dan akhirnya sepertinya tuhan memberi saya jalan, tiba-tiba ada hasrat untuk membeli koran Batampos, lalu melihat Iklan Universitas International Batam akan mengadakan seleksi beasiswa pada tanggal 18 November, wah saya segera hari itu juga mengumpulkan berkas dan mendaftar ke UIB.
Dan akhirnya segala perjuangan berakhir dengan memuaskan, saya mendapat Beasiswa Unggulan ( Excellent Scholarship ) berkuliah di Universitas ter-beken di Batam dengan gratis tis tisssss sampai lulus, oh tuhan alhamdulillah terimakasih.

| Pernyataan Lulus |

| Surat Pemberitahuan |
Nah untuk mendapatkan apa yang kita mau itu ga gampang teman, maka dari itu persiapkan alat-alat untuk bertempur dari sekarang, jangan sampai menyesal nantinya, jangan sampai cuma jadi operator, menikah, punya anak dan meninggal, gambarkan mimpimu ! wujudkan mimpimu ! SEMANGAAAAAAAAT !

CALL FOR PAPERS
for the
Conference on “Child Poverty and Social Protection”
Supported by the National Development Planning Board (BAPPENAS),
UNICEF Indonesia, and the SMERU Research Institute

Background
Poverty affects people of all ages, but children are the single most
affected group. Children living in poverty experience deprivation,
exclusion, and vulnerability. They face multidimensional circumstance
that creates various life-long difficulties. Poverty also denies
children their rights and weakens their physical, psychological, and
intellectual development.
Social protection is one way to reduce poverty and protect the people,
including children, from falling into worse deprivation. It has gained
substantial attention during the last decade as part of actions to
reduce poverty and the vulnerability of the poorest and most
marginalized people in the world. Social protection is defined as a
set of public and private policies and programs aimed at preventing,
reducing, and eliminating economic and social vulnerabilities to
poverty and deprivation (UNICEF, 2012).
While many social protection schemes have been believed to directly or
indirectly benefit children, knowledge of how children’s issues in the
policy design, implementation, and impact is worth further
exploration. Many questions remain in efforts to strengthen and expand
integrated social protection system that appropriately supporting to
the fulfilment of child’s rights and responding to the multiple and
compounding vulnerabilities faced by children and their families.
This conference, jointly organized by Bappenas, UNICEF Indonesia, and
The SMERU Research Institute, is a venue to discuss and exchange
experiences of social protection program implementation and researches
among policymakers, researchers, and other agencies (international
organizations and NGOs) in regard to improving policies and their
delivery. Through presentations and publication of selected policy
papers and posters, the conference will produce numerous policy
recommendations to be used in support of evidence-based policy.
