Better Understanding for a Better World (BUBW 2016)

Assalamu'alaikum..
Hi readers, Rama's back!!! It's been a long time, I wish God always protect you wherever and whenever you are. :)

December 23rd, 2015
I received a notification that I was one of 5 Sponsored Programs student winners of the International Education Week Essay contest.

I never thought that I could pass it. 
Alhamdulillah, it was like an early birthday gift for me.
Thanks Allah for this chance and for everything you already give to me.

BUBW (Better Understanding for a Better World) is held by CECF (Civilizations Exchange & Cooperation Foundation).

The event took place in Orlando, Florida so It was the first time I traveled alone, usually there's somebody who accompany me or I traveled with a group. It was so CHALLENGING but at the end I made it, yeaaaayy :D. I met 30 students from more than 20 countries, they are so awesome. 
I learned many important things through these conference such as about leadership, diversity, how to be success, and many more. 
On the 1st day, we arrived in All Star Movie Resort so we started by introduced ourselves to get to know each other and sharing a little bit. I was still remember when I arrived with some students that I met at the airport, we got a warm greetings from the students who arrived first, they are so friendly. 
The 2nd day, we went to Epcot at the Disney World. There, we learned about the cultures from different countries, their history and the powerful of languages. Language is really important to build a good communication and also connection. So if you want to have a really good relationship with people around the world, you have to learned the languages because it's kinda like the foundation of it. Not only learned, we also have fun to explored Epcot.

The 3rd day, we went to visit Synagogue which is the Jews' place of worship, Church, and Mosque. If I could choose, those day was my favorite. It was just amazing to learned about other religions that I didn't know before, and the important thing you should know, read this carefully! After I learned about it, I realized that every religion never teach us to be a bad person, religions are always about peace. The problem just, people always think that they or their group/community  are better and always true than others. Believe me, diversity is beautiful. It was a pleasure to me to saw an Imam (Muslim), Pastor (Christian), and Rabbi (Jews) were siting next to each other peacefully without judging each other. So, what are you waiting for? Let's be respectful and tolerance to others because it's not a problem, it's just a difference. At the evening we went to the Disney World Magic Kingdom and had a lots of fun of course ^^

The 4th day, we had a free choice to visit one of three Disney's park so I decided to visit Animal Kingdom and it was sooooooo amazing. And guess what, I found Indonesia stand!!! 
At the night we had a Banquet and Certificate Ceremony, I had a chance to showed Indonesia's traditional dance, I wish they like my performance hehe. I felt so happy and sad in the same time. Happy because I could be a part of these conference and sad because tomorrow we should go back to our host state :'(

The 5th day, Honestly I hate to say hello because at the end I should say good bye. Okay, it's not a good bye but it's a see you again. I'm so grateful that I could be a part of them, met amazing people, learned many new things that changed me in a better way of thinking and be more respectful of the differences. Let's be a peace maker!!!


I would to say thank you for the State Department who sponsors my exchange program, Imam Mohammad Bashar Arafat & Kimberly King as the founder of CECF, and the Chaperons who always help us as a participant. Words can't describe how happy and grateful I am to be there.

I love you guys, take care and see you soon! #BUBW2016 #LangkahAnakBangsa

IMPOSSIBLE?? Are you sure??????

Setiap orang pasti memiliki impian. Ada yang ingin sukses dalam  karir, sekolah di mancanegara, keliling dunia, dan masih banyak lagi impian impian yang dimiliki oleh setiap orang. Apapun impiannya, bila kita bersungguh sungguh  untuk mencapainya pasti akan ada jalan untuk mendapatkannya. Karena Allah telah memberikan kita potensi dan banyak kesempatan untuk mewujudkan impian itu tinggal bagaimana kita memaksimalkan dan menggali potensi itu. Tapi masalah besar yang dimiliki banyak manusia pada saat ini adalah tidak memiliki keberanian dan ketidak mauan untuk menggali potensi juga mencoba untuk mewujudkan impiannya, karena mereka mengira masih memiliki banyak waktu untuk itu. Padahal, kita tidak pernah tau sampai kapan kita bisa hidup di duina yang sementara ini.  Selain suka mengulur waktu, kita terkadang juga merasa tak mampu untuk mewujudkannya karena perlu perjuangan dan kita enggan untuk menggapainya. Kita terlahir di dunia sudah menjadi seorang pemenang, tapi kita terkadang tid

Chocholate of Love

Hidup tak pernah luput dengan satu hal yaitu "Cinta" . Cinta hanya 5 huruf tetapi memiliki pengaruh besar dalam kehidupan seseorang. Terkadang banyak orang berfikir bahwa cinta itu buta ia bisa merubah segalanya bahkan bisa membutakan fikiran dan banyak orang kehilangan akal sehat karena cinta. Aku tidak setuju dengan pendapat orang bahwa "Cinta" itu buta. Cinta tu tidak buta hanya saja banyak orang yang salah menafsirkan apa itu cinta. Pada dasarnya cinta itu dapat membawa seseorang kepada kebahagiaan yang hakiki. Tapi, kebanyakan manusia hanyut dalam arus cinta buta mereka hingga mereka tenggelam dalam kesengsaraan dan penderitaan. Cinta adalah anugrah terindah yang diberikan yang maha kuasa untuk kita. Bahkan ada sebuah lagu yang salah satu baitnya  Hidup tanpa cinta bagai taman tak berbunga.. Oh begitulah kata para pujangga..  *oke dangdutannya selesai* . Dari lagu tersebut saja kita bisa menarik kesimpulan bahwa hidup tanpa cinta itu hampaa.. *eaa.
