MY SKILL IS MY HAPPINESS

Hi, glad to see you again. Today, I want to tell you about my skill. Honestly, I am not sure about my real skill because I never think that what I do is can be my skill. I think, dance is my skill. I love to dance. I started dancing since in High School. I learn to dance the modern dances. My friends and I have won various competitions at the High School level like Honda DBL Dance Competition, LFP Dance Competition, and the other. Besides attending various competitions, we also fill some events as a guest star. In one event, we paid Rp50.000 until Rp100.000 to each person.


I continue to dance in University, but it is not a modern dance. I learn traditional dances like Dayak Dance, Cina Dance and Melayu Dance. In the University level, I just performed in every event that held by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tanjungpura Pontianak. As a college student, I really busy so it hard for me to attend another event or competitions. However, my experiences make me confidence to accept a job from my friends. They asked me to teach a dance to their event. It makes me think that dance was my real skill. In the future, I can be a dance teacher as my side job. Besides that, maybe this skill can be my plus value in my CV to search a job because not everyone can dance, right?

Why I Continue My Study To University Level

Assalamualaikum. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Nur Fitriani, a student of the faculty of engineering at the University of Tanjungpura Pontianak. On the first day I am taking the English course, my professor called Miss Dini asked me why I continue my study to University level. So here is my answer why I choose to go to college.

When I was in high school, I already knew than education was important. My parents always said that I should take education up to college. They said that in order to easily obtain a job then a degree is required. The other reason which encourages me to continue my education is my dream. I like to draw a lot of model of house. I want to live in my own home with my husband and my children. I have a dream home. So in the future, I will design and build my own house to live with my family. For that I think I should learn more to make little dream comes true.

Besides that, in the era where there is a lot of development I think I should have a steady job in order to compete in the taught world. Now the government really needs engineers that have good quality. It makes me believe that I have a lot of job options in the future. That why I choose study in Faculty of Engineering at University of Tanjungpura Pontianak. I will be a good engineers that useful for our country.
