I am Participating in Favourite Alumni Contest...Would be so Grateful if Steemians Can Help Me

in #indonesia7 years ago

Hello guys,

As some of you may know, I am from Indonesia, and I am LPDP alumni.

What is LPDP?
LPDP is a scholarship given to numerous Indonesian youths to pursue higher education...mostly abroad. The scholarship is amazing, the awardee gets full tuition fee covered, 2 years living cost and ultimately return flight to the destination country.

Sounds pretty good right?
Well it comes with a price of course. The scholarship was awarded in one condition: the awardee has to go back to Indonesia and "serve" Indonesia (as in building the country, educate people...basically contribute with the knowledge gained abroad). So I had finished my study in Sweden and now I am back to Indonesia!

Sweden was awesome! And 2 years I spent there was life-changing experience

And to appreciate the "alumni", those awarded by scholarship who really came back (Human nature made some of the awardees "ran away" to live abroad permanently and refuse to serve the country), a big annual event is held. It is called Welcoming Alumni LPDP 2018 (for this year). It will be held next Monday 7th May.

Part of the event is "Alumni Award", a competition to give recognition for some remarkable alumni. The judgement consists of: academic achievements during study, non-academic/ extracurricular achievements, and some contribution after coming back to Indonesia. Thankfully, I was nominated to be the top 5 alumni (yeeaay).

NOW THE FINAL COMPETITION BEGINS
The winner out of top 5 is selected by the number of likes their instagram post about LPDP and service to Indonesia. This is where I would like to ask your help. It will be very appreciated if you can like my post.

You may not understand the story in the caption, but it is basically to encourage continuous hard work for Indonesia's future.

And if you would like to see some of my "achievements" that made me nominated to top 5, I will show you:
