bInstitut Technology Bandung` - one of the best university in Indonesia - then your life
will be just ordinary”.
Since then, he began to dream for study in ITB even though his uncle explained that no
student from Aceh has ever passed the test. Mahdi prepared for ITB since he was in
year two, Jr. high school and decided for no longer set his ambition to be the top rank
