Introducing Myself

Hallo, let me introduce myself. My full name is Yoga Ramadha. People usually call
me Yoga. I from Surabaya. Currently I live in Jl Dukuh Kupang. I live with my family. I am
an only child. My father is from Surabaya, and my mom is from Tuban. every year I
definitely go to the village in Tuban to visit my grandparents. Usually during Eid I go to
Tuban. In Tuban there are so many tours,such as the sea,riders and others. I am very happy in
the village because there are so many good and cool brothers. While I was there I was always
invited to play, usually in the afternoon playing in the sea and picking up shells. The trip
from Surabaya to Tuban is 3 hours, usually I take a motorbike when I go to the village.

Now I am 18 years old. I was born in 2004. My hobby is playing football and playing
games. I like playing soccer since I was in elementary school. Because in elemtary school I
participated in extra futsal. Almost every afternoon I play football in the field. Its very fun to
play soccer with a lot of friends. I used to study at the Darut Tawa Islamic Elementary
School. In Darut Taqwa Elementary School I learned about religion, I can read the Quran
since grade 2. in elementary school was the most exciting experience in my life. I can get
good and cool friends. There are also many friends who help me when I'm in trouble.

In elementary school I was used to full day school, I think coming home in the
afternoon is very exciting because I spend more time with friends. we can share stories and
also play together. In front of my elementary school a lot of people selling drinks, or food. I
often buy sausages and noodles. For some reason I really miss those days. When I was in 5th
grade, I focused on studying the National Examination because I think it is an important test
in determining my next school. So I followed the lessons. Coming home from school I went
straight to the tutoring place. Around 8 pm I finished tutoring. When tutoring used to be just
as exciting as school. Many of my school friends have the same tutoring as me.

My struggle was not in vain, although I was afraid because of the UN. But
Alhamdulillah I was able to do the UN well. And finally the UN scores came out, I was very
happy because I thought the scores were satisfactory. After that I entered the junior high
school 46 Surabaya. The distance from home to school is quite close. I go to school using a
bicycle. Unlike elementary school, in junior high school I came home at noon. Because my
school at that time was still under construction, because it was still a new school. But that
only applies in 7th grade. The 8th grade of my school has started full day. Here I started to
feel tired, and thought that full day school was annoying.

My adaptation in junior high school was a bit difficult because I was a student from
an Islamic school. In 8th grade I was able to adapt and make many friends. I have more
friends in junior high school than in elementary school. But in my opinion, friends in
elementary school are more fun, because they can still play like a child. While in junior high
school I began to adapt to adulthood. In junior high I followed the extra scouts. If there is
extra I go home around 5 pm. In scouting I was taught to be independent and also a lot of
experience that I can get. One of them is rope and make a tent. Where all of that is very
useful for our lives whether it is urgent or not.

In junior high, I also attended tutoring. My tutoring in junior high school is different
from that in elementary school. I think the learning is better at the current tutoring. So I am
more enthusiastic about learning. So I can get good grades on the report card. Besides me
studying, when I was in junior high school, I also often played games. I played with my
friends and it was so much fun. We can joke together and laugh at each other. Approaching
the UN I stopped playing games and decided to focus on studying. I always go to the tutoring
center to ask a question that I can't do. I feel afraid if I can't do the questions and can't get into
a state high school. When the day of the exam arrived I could only pray that it would be
easier for me to do the work. And Alhamdulillah, I was able to work on the questions even
though there were some questions that I doubted the answers were correct.

When the announcement of the exam results arrived, I was very happy because my
score was on target. But unfortunately at that time there was a zoning system that prevented
me from entering the state high school. Because near my house there is no state high school. I
entered Islamic high school again. I follow the lessons and school programs well. But sadly, I
am not eligible. So I have to study again to prepare for UTBK. While in high school, I played
games almost every day, even before the UTBK I was still playing games. 1 week before
UTBK I just focused on studying. I also got an intensive program from tutoring.

In SBMPTN I chose Chemical Engineering UPN as the first choice, I chose chemical
engineering because the job prospects are broad. Besides that, I also like chemistry since high
school. When the UTBK started I felt confident that I could pass the first choice even though
with limited preparation. When the announcement arrived, I couldn't hold back my tears
because I passed the first choice of SBMPTN. I am very happy and I hope I can finish my
studies here properly. so many introductions and a little story of my life, thank you.
