My Desired University

I actually haven't decided which university I'll go to but I think I might attend Petra Christian University. It's located at Surabaya and it's quite old because it was established in 1961. My mother and also my sister graduated from Petra University too so it's kind of a family tradition, I think. 

Petra was established on the suggestion of the leader of PPPK Petra, Tan Tjiauw Yong dan Tan Gie Djien. PPPK Petra wanted to give a broader opportunity for children so that all of them could attend school. But not only that, they dreamed of higher and greater education for people and this motivated them to make a college. So in 22 September 1961, it was officially announced that Petra University was established with faculty of Literature as its first faculty. Until now, Petra has graduated more than 20.000 alumnus from many different faculties and 75% of them work as entrepreneurs mainly in service and industry section.

One of the reasons why I want to study there is because it has great entrepreneurship program.It's just exactly what I need because I want to become a businesswoman after I graduate. Also, it's a christian university, I'm sure Petra has more christian values in its teachings than any other universities. And my sister lives in Surabaya now so I think it will be better if I can stay close to my family and doesn't have to live alone. 

I will take the international business management subject in faculty of economics. I realise that I have a talent in talking and persuading people. I think I can become a great careerwoman or even more, have my own company. Also, my English skill is pretty good and it can be an advantage for me when I enter the work field. I really want to open a business that can provide job opportunity for many people. If I can make it happen, I will help a lot jobless people in our country and their lives will be much better. Also, I probably want to make a product or something else that will be used not only by Indonesian people but also other countries. I want my business to go international and be known by the world.
