Being a Master of Ceremony has always been more than simply standing in front of an audience and following a script. It taught me how to communicate with confidence, adapt to different situations, and keep an event engaging from beginning to end. Every time I stepped onto the stage, I learned to manage my voice, expressions, timing, and interaction with the audience.
Through this experience, I gradually became more comfortable speaking in public and learned how important it is to stay calm when things do not go exactly as planned. For me, being an MC is a combination of communication, preparation, and the ability to create a connection with the people in the room.
Chairperson of the Student Council — Leading with Purpose
Serving as the Chairperson of the Student Council in SMPN 9 Bogor was one of the experiences that shaped my understanding of leadership the most. It was not simply about having a position or making decisions, but about working with people who have different personalities, perspectives, and responsibilities.
During my time in the Student Council, I learned how to coordinate a team, communicate ideas, solve problems, and take responsibility for decisions. There were moments when things did not go according to plan, but those challenges taught me to become more adaptable and thoughtful as a leader. This experience showed me that meaningful leadership is not about being the loudest person in the room, it is about being willing to listen, take responsibility, and create opportunities for others to contribute.
Becoming the Putri Duta Pustaka Cilik Jawa Barat 2025 gave me the opportunity to take my passion for books and literacy beyond my personal interests. Through this role, I discovered that literacy is not simply about reading books, but also about how knowledge can shape the way we think, communicate, and understand the world around us.
As a Duta Literasi, I had the opportunity to participate in various literacy and educational activities, including volunteering in community-based programs. Through volunteering, I was able to interact directly with people, contribute to literacy activities, and see how small efforts can create meaningful experiences for others. These moments taught me that promoting literacy is not always about making a big campaign; sometimes, it begins with creating a welcoming space for someone to read, learn, ask questions, or simply become curious.
My experience in volunteering also taught me the importance of empathy, teamwork, communication, and consistency. Working directly with communities allowed me to understand that everyone has different ways of learning and different levels of access to educational resources. It encouraged me to become more involved rather than simply talking about the importance of literacy.
This journey became one of the most meaningful parts of my development because it allowed me to combine something I genuinely enjoy—reading—with something I deeply value: giving knowledge and opportunities back to the community. Being a Duta Literasi is therefore not only a title that I carry, but also a responsibility to continue learning, sharing, and creating a positive impact wherever I can.
🏅 Olympiad & Achievements — More Than Just Winning
Competitions have been an important part of my learning journey. I have participated in several Mathematics and English Olympiads, and each one gave me a different experience, some ended with an achievement, while others taught me how to deal with disappointment and keep going.
One of my memorable achievements was winning a Gold Medal in the Math and English Jenius Competition by UGM in 2024. It was a rewarding experience that motivated me to keep challenging myself academically and explore my abilities in both Mathematics and English.
I also participated in the KSR Ruangguru Mathematics competition, where I managed to advance all the way to the National level. Although I did not win at the national stage, reaching that level itself became an important milestone for me. It showed me that getting further is not always about the final result, but also about how far I am willing to push myself.
Another meaningful experience was participating in OSN Mathematics, where I successfully advanced to the Provincial level. Although my journey ended there, the experience taught me how competitive academic environments can be and encouraged me to become more disciplined in preparing myself.
Looking back, these competitions taught me that achievements are not only about medals or winning. Every competition gave me a chance to test my knowledge, face pressure, learn from mistakes, and understand what I still need to improve. Some gave me medals, while others gave me lessons—but both became valuable parts of my journey.
