Last week I posted my story in my social media about how I made my way to pursue my master’s degree in the UK. I didn’t expect that it would attract so many positive responses, I’m a bit surprised actually.
It had been my dream to pursue my education abroad, not for the pride of it; I simply wanted to experience living abroad. I wanted to open my eyes to possibilities, see the world, meet new people, learn about other cultures… and I just love learning.
I was reminiscing this article that I wrote long time ago. I remember I was in my bedroom – it was fall and frankly I just arrived there 2 weeks earlier. I told myself I might could help someone if I write it. So I wrote down step-by-step how I made my way to finally be able to continue my education aboard. Some people reached out to me as they felt inspired, and there was one actually we eventually met up!
But the thing is, I never really shared how my feelings was, and how I got through it. So let me share you this story again that I wrote in a new light..

This is me 9 years ago, on my graduation day. I finished my master’s degree in the land of the Queen (now King). 🎓
When I decided to pursue my education abroad, most people around me couldn’t believe me, including my parents.
I came from a humble family and there’s no way I could make it on my own. I didn’t have the finances, and my savings definitely couldn’t make it. Also, I’m not a “scholarship” material? 🥲
I told them, I didn’t know how, but I knew in my heart that this was something that I had to do.
I followed my intuition.
I did everything I could to manifest my dream. I prayed, studied hard after work and on the weekend, went here and there for the admin stuff, and applied for student loan & scholarship schemes.. only to be ghosted and rejected.
It wasn’t easy, but I kept going..
Six months later, I got accepted at three different universities in the UK, and I got a full scholarship from the government of Indonesia. Am I dreaming?
In September 2013, I flew to the UK and started a new chapter in my life.
It was one of the best years of my life. I met the most wonderful people and I traveled to the most amazing places I could only dream of.
Believe me when I say, dreams do come true… ✨
So, what is one dream you have that you have been holding back? What are you willing to do to manifest your dream?
My wish for you is that you have the most amazing journey in turning your dreams into reality. ❤️
