Two Hours with Indonesian Ministries
Last Monday was one of the most meaningful days in my life. Though I came late to that event, but I did not find any difficulties to join the event. The event was called Talk Show and Dialog with Ministry of National Education and also with the Ministry of Civil Prosperity. First of all, I did feel the glad in bunch atmosphere there, where so many people gathered to welcome the ministries in Semarang State University. Maybe this was their chance to aspirate their demands on prosperity and education problems. Nevertheless, people were really excited when the people who they waited for finally come. Deliberately I also welcome them in rows with other students at 11 AM. The ministry smiled on every single student included me too. After that we all entered the hall and welcomed also by singing performance. Next, the host started to make a dialog with the ministries. The first was Mr. Agung laksono as the Ministry of Civil Prosperity, who delivering his speech about government action to counter poverty. And as the second speaker, our attention moved to the ministry of National Education, Mr M.Nuh. He talked about Indonesian Education which was I waiting for. The ministry also told the audience about the background of the Bidik Misi born. I deeply listen on his speech. And I even did not want to lose any important information. Since it was related much to what I’ve been holding now as the students of Bidik Misi Scholarship. At that time he gave so much motivation that we would be like him if we studied hard. After delivering their speeches, the host moved to the question and answer section. There were about 5 student representatives from 5 Universities asked about the solution of the problem they faced. Next was the answer section from the two ministries. Though I did not involved in the dialog, but the 5 representatives has also reflected my mind about education. I gained so much information and motivation came from the dialog.And finally we reached at the end of the sections. I saw the ministries came out and got long applause from the audience. In two hours left I believed that one day I will sit on the seat they were, and make a change like them in my beloved country Indonesia.
