MY FIRST INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT!
Sumpah, aku lagi bahagia banget. Jadi bulan lalu kan aku dapet job presentasi banyak banget. Maklumlah kan ada International Education Week. Ada lomba yang diselenggarakan konsorsium AFS buat anak - anak yang paling banyak ngelakuin presentasi, baik dalam bentuk grup dan dalam bentuk individual.
DAN AKU MENANG.
Hahaha sumpah epic abis!
Walau kelompokku (cluster) gak menang, tapi dari segi individual aku termasuk banyak banget dan Alhamdulilah ranking satu di kategori individual. Duh senengnya tujuh puluh tujuh presentasi bulan November lalu berbuah manis juga. Kemungkinan besar aku bakal diterbangin ke Orlando, Florida buat ngikutin sebuah konferensi di sana (itu hadiah lombanya. yang pasti sih kata cluster coordinatorku bakalan keren banget. sumpah cuma vocab epic aja yg cocok menggambarkan suasana hatiku. bahahahaha)
Doni cuma mau ngucapin banyak terima kasih terutama buat Tuhan YME (sumpah, Allah keren banget deh), terus keluargaku (baik yang di Indonesia maupun yang di Amrik), dan Chilton, hostcityku yang aku cintai dengan sepenuh hati. yay! <3

The reports are in, the presentations have been counted, and
the results have been tabulated!
This year was a record-smashing year for the International
Education Week Contest. Throughout the
month of November, students across the U.S. worked tirelessly to tell their
friends, neighbors, peers, adults, and classes about their home countries,
cultures, and exchange programs. For the past 5 years, the Sponsored Programs
Department has conducted the International Education Week contest, and each
year, the presentation count grows larger as Sponsored Programs students
nationwide strive to do more to let their communities know about themselves and
compete to win an opportunity to attend the Better Understanding for a Better
World Interfaith and Leadership Conference (BUBW).
Last year, our presentation count totaled 1891
presentations, our highest total yet, reaching an audience of approximately
55,000 people. It was easily the most successful IEW contest on record. It was
an amazing feat to accomplish, and we were amazed at the fortitude and effort
put forth by everyone involved.
This year, after a somewhat modest start, we watched in
total awe as our SurveyMonkey tally rocketed toward astonishing figures.
However, none of us expected the results we received.
With 180 students reporting on SurveyMonkey, our
presentation report total this year is 2729 presentations, reaching an audience
of over 67,000 people!
This far surpasses last year's presentation and audience
totals! So, whether your cluster won an opportunity to travel to BUBW or not,
all of your cluster students deserve a hearty round of applause and
congratulations for their efforts. The
impact of these presentations is well worth the time and effort invested by
these young ambassadors.
Now, without further ado, I present the top four clusters
and winners of the IEW Contest!
[As a reminder, the winners are selected by highest average
number of presentations per student in a fully participating cluster.]
Orlando BUBW
With a whopping average of 85 presentations per student, our
first place cluster is Argyle Cluster of the World Flags Area Team!
In 2nd place with an impressive average of 82 presentations
is the Northwoods Gateway!
San Diego BUBW
In 3rd place, with a very strong showing of 40 presentations
per student -- Western NY!
Baltimore BUBW
In 4th Place -- with an average of 36 presentations per
student, Northern Illinois Area Team!
We would also like to acknowledge four individual students
who had an outstanding number of presentations, but were not part of a winning
team. The students will receive an invitation
to attend one of the BUBW conferences.
And now, the names of these four students with an impressive number of
presentations:
Risqika Achsan from Indonesia, 77 presentations, from World Class Area Team
(sensor) from Azerbaijan, 57 presentations, from World
Flags Area Team (Non-Argyle Cluster)
(sensor lagi) from Pakistan, 55 presentations, from World Flags
Area Team (Non-Argyle Cluster)
(sensor lagi ya. hahaha) from Turkey, 51 presentations, from World Flags
Area Team (Non-Argyle Cluster)
We will be contacting winning clusters for instruction
regarding BUBW arrangements. In
addition, the cluster coordinators for the individual students listed above
will be contacted regarding BUBW arrangements.
Once again, congratulations to all involved in the IEW
contest, and a very sincere THANK YOU for all your amazing efforts in making it
the most successful IEW endeavor EVER!
