The topic in English class last
week was 'Dream Job'. We were assigned to work in pairs, then interview our
partners about their dream jobs, and write an essay about it. I worked with my
friend, Lidia Svantyana and without further ado, here is the essay she wrote:
Finding a job is the main concern
for many fresh graduates out there. But to be able to live your dream job is
what everyone would like to have. Since we were young, we had dreams of what we
wanted to be in the future. Some would want to be a doctor, a pilot, a model,
an architect, or even an astronaut. But as we grew up, we find other interest
in studies that would lead us to other dream jobs. A friend of mine, Katriel
Ester Amanda, used to dream that she would be a Mathematics Professor when she
was a little girl. But when she got older, she got interested in computers and
decided she would like to work in the IT field instead.
When she got her first computer,
she felt curious about what she can do with it and made her interested in
computers. She started to learn programming even though it is a tough subject.
In her high school years, she began to think of where she will continue her
studies, which university would best support her dream of working in the IT
field. She thinks that our country is still lacking in information technology
development. Small towns in Java are still new to the term “IT” while it plays
an important role in our lives. Communications between regions in Indonesia can
be more efficient, jobs will be done faster, and it also improves the flow of
business.
Her goal is to improve this
technology in small towns in Indonesia. When every region in Indonesia are able
to fully harness the potential of information technology, we could compete with
other countries and not get left behind. To achieve her dreams, she is
currently a college student in Bandung Institute of Technology’s School of
Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. She plans to get in the
Informatics major next year.
