I am stating
strongly motivated to join this program of students camp in Malaysia entitled “The Support to Quality Improvement of The Islamic Higher Education
Project / 4 in 1 IsDB Project”. Firstly, I would like to say, there is no
impossible in the world as we are in striving hard and praying diligently. I
would like to show and prove my qualified abilities in joining this great
program as an International Muslim Student Representative from IAIN Walisongo
Semarang. I must aware that all of my limitations; was born as a villager and
was born from a poor family must not restrict my dreams to go to overseas. I am
Tomy Widiyanto. I was born in Kendal, November 7th 1993. I am the
first child of one brother. He studies at SMPN 2 Brangsong as an 8th
student. We live in simplicity with our parents who are both of them work as
employees at PT. Kayu Lapis Indonesia, Kaliwungu, Kendal. Their salary is only
enough to pay my little brother’s school fee and can not pay fully of mine. Therefore, I
realize that I am still in difficulty case to buy some books as reference books
for my better study. That is why I must study and work hard to fulfil my needs.
I am totally
interested in joining the program. By joining it, I think that I can get many
advantages not only knowledge of sharing ideas about cross cultural in academic
and social sectors among International Muslim Students but also I can develop and
actualize my Islamic conceptions and understanding of The Islamic Higher
Education Projects related to Globalization. Actually, it should not any
dichotomy between Islamic Studies and General Studies. Both of the studies can
balance in a proper proportion to prove that Islamic Studies are the key to
improve the human sources’ quality in aqidah, knowledge and other things. It also presents perspectives on recent developments in Islamic
Studies and the responses of governments, policy makers and funding bodies;
interactions between institutions of higher education and faith-based
organisations and communities; and case studies that highlight examples of
innovative practice in relation to Islamic Studies in higher education.
I
believe when I are chosen to be a delegation to join the program, I can take
part and contribute well. I can more improve my awareness as a student about
social development in global and regional context. I can comprehend and know
the great ways how to realize a high quality in Islamic Higher Education. Especially,
to dedicate for the progression of Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia. Because
I think that Indonesia more needs people who have highly and loyally dedication.
Moreover, in my opinion it is an opportunity to improve Islamic parts to the
truth Islamic studies that have run down currently. By joining the program, I
can play along and make a close solidarity among Southeast Asia Moeslem
Students as a representative to abridge the improvements of the Islamic Higher Education
project. Since, Indonesia has the biggest Moeslem population whole the world we
must present a better quality.
