My Letter of Gratitude

Jakarta, 30 September 2012


Dear family members, lecturers and friends,

29 September 2012 became another historical day of my life. A mixture of feelings took over my mind upon graduating; I felt happy and excited, and at the same time, touched. These 4 years of university have been very enjoyable indeed.

In this short letter, I'd like to convey my thanks to all individuals involved in my university life. I give my special thanks to my father, who's taught me to maintain my strength, discipline and composure in facing all kinds of situations in life; and my mother who's encouraged me to be competitive so that I can always strive forward and fight to achieve what I want in life. Thank you, little brother, for bringing joy to my childhood and giving me support. To my dear grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins, nieces and nephews; I'm blessed to have you as my family.

To the lecturers of the Life Sciences' faculty and the language department, thank you for your guidance and patience, without which I wouldn't have been able to make it through the 4 years of my study. There were both good and bad times, but they have now become a set of valuable life lessons and cherishable moments. To my fellow friends, seniors and juniors from various departments, thanks for filling each of my university days with thrills and excitement. It was worthwhile waking up to look forward to a new day and new experiences in university. To the former members of the SGU English Club, all the former and current members of the SGU Choir, thanks for bringing even more color to my university life. I extend my deepest gratitude to the current SGU Choir for enchanting me with your wonderful voices during the graduation ceremony. To my colleagues in Germany, whose presences are irreplaceable during my internship, I thank you all. The last but not the least, I thank all personnel engaged in making the ceremony a great success. I'm glad to have met all of you.

Now, it's time to leave behind those memorable university days and move on in life. May God bless us all in our endeavors.


Best wishes,
