I was shocked that I was invited to have an interview to the Radio Station - Pro 2 FM 101,8 Mhz RRI Pontianak. I feel nervous at first because I don't know the questions they are going to ask me. But I said to myself "I am in Indonesia and no one knows me, so I can do it, GO SELF!!


Before my interview, the students performed the Kote Pontianak song which is my favorite song. There are also intermission numbers and interviews with Ibu Yuyun, Ibu Madaresita, Ibu Rosminta, and to the Jakarta students.


I thought that there questions are personal. But they asked me about the program, why did I join, what is my impression about Indonesia?


I explained the purpose of the program and I said the reason why I joined and that is because I want to experience a different kind of exposure and I want to gain my openness to diversity. He also asked me, why SMP Negeri 1 - Pontianak.?


Many people when they hear the word "Muslim", they will think about the word "terrorists" In the Philippines, most of the people will think about especially in what happened in Marawi. My coordinator assigned me here because he wants me to realize that not all muslims are like that. and I agree with that too. I realized that we are the same in many ways. So I am so much thankful that I was assigned here.
