"I Almost Quit My Study"

"I almost quit my study" said Yusuf when he told us about his experience as one of starfish. Yusuf was study in Surabaya pursuing his Bachelor degree in Business Management and almost quit his study on his 2nd year. He was facing dilemma when his parents run out the money and he has to decide to quit his study and get some job to earn money. Yusuf met Mimi Anzel, the Starfish angel in the right time. Mimi can trust Yusuf because his best friend is the first starfish and by the time Mimi met Yusuf, the first starfish has just finished his study.

Mimi sees Yusuf as a smart and talented student so she doesn't want to see Yusuf quit his study. she decided to help Yusuf the same way she helped the first starfish. When Mimi fly back to US, both stay in touch through email, Facebook and Skype. Every end of semester, Yusuf send his exam result by email to show the progress of his study.

During his study, Yusuf involved in  AIESEC, the world largest student driven organization. He met lots of international students and get many experiences from them. His dream is to visit Europe, US and many countries in Asia. One of his dream came true when he visit Rusia for 3 month as a AIESEC member in student exchange program.

Finally Yusuf get his Bachelor degree in 2010 and Mimi come to Indonesia to attend his graduation ceremony. Currently Yusuf is working in a multinational company in Indonesia and he was able to visit US, Malaysia and Singapore. He still dreaming of traveling around the world and he wrote his experiences in his personal blog.
