This day marked another milestone in my academic life. I already felt that genuine happiness again after I went onto the stage with my mother.

After one year of taking my master's degree, I finally felt satisfied and proud of myself. There's nothing more I can say here as I'm overwhelmed with the results of sleepless nights, mental breakdowns, and stressful days I experienced from the first to the last semester. Despite the hurdles I encountered, I learned a lot from the lectures, webinars, and pieces of advice from my professors. I kept in mind that it is not just I need to pass but to learn for myself and my students.

Thank you to my professors and mentors who helped me grow professionally as an educator. To my parents, siblings, nieces, nephew, relatives, friends, colleagues, and students, I hope I made you proud of me.

Congratulations, batch 2022!
