Last September, my dear friend got accepted by the biggest scholarship from our government (LPDP) and she was like "Hey, don't you want to try Chevening, it's currently open."
It's been years since my last post on my scholarship progress. During those years, a lot has happened. I went from being an undergraduate student to having my first job, and finally having my current job as a teacher. I have gone from the oblivious having-no-clear-goal kind of person to someone who has found what they want to be in life.
It's all thanks to the people I have around me, especially my brother, who always said that he won't have any expectation on me (because he knows how scared I get most of the time), instead he supports me and believes in me more than I do in myself. I can't reach this point in my life without my kids either; my students who are very important to me.
So, let's stop talking about that for now because my journey has not ended. I have not become a Chevener, yet. Today, my usually super mean (not in a bad way) dementor was being exceptionally sweet, I thought he might have caught a cold or something. It was because two weeks ago (19th of February 2020) I managed to secure a seat for the Chevening interview. (YEAY). My interview will be on the 6th of April (as of now, one month away).
What? You want to know how I feel about it? I am so freaking nervous. Never in my life, have I ever felt this nervous and scared at the same time. I do hope I can make it through but at the same time, I'm doubting myself over and over again.
I'll be back with more updates later.
