新入生 Pratiwi T. Utami (D1)
If you visited this website two years ago, you must find my self-introduction as well as what you read now. Well, let me introduce my self one more if you do not mind about that. Pratiwi Tri Utami is the name which is given by my parents to me. My friends usually call me Tiwi, but I got new call here, Utami. I loved it actually, I hope to be called that so since my childhood because I have so many friends named Tiwi also. But never mind it, you can me what you want unless ‘Tri’. It sounds ‘tori’ if you say it in Japanese pronunciation which is ‘chicken’. So, please avoid to call me ‘Tri. I will appreciate for that 😊. I was born in a small island, Bangka island, near Sumatra island exactly in the south of Sumatra on December 22nd, 1995. Bangka Island is famous in Indonesia although many Indonesian people do not know where exactly it is. It has many beautiful beaches and it is the place where the movie ‘Rainbow Troops’ is taken place. The movie was very famous in Indonesia. I was raised in that island with my sister and my brother. I am the first child in my family and I have only one sister and one brother.
My hobby is disturbing anybody else, hahaha, of course not, I am just kidding, but well sometimes I do😊. I love reading, writing, travelling, and hiking. I love outdoor activity, travelling to new place, and taking picture. It is because I believe that ‘adventure is out there’, but sometimes money does not permit me to go around. It is a classic reason, hahaha. By travelling, I will always meet new people and have new story which I can retell to my family or friends. Then, it will become a legend. That is why I want to become an author to retell everyone’s story.
Two years ago, I went to Japan to study my master. Then, now, I am staying for other three years to continue my doctoral program and still under Kusakabe Sensei’s lab. Spending two years in Japan, give me so many wonderful experiences, get new family and friends, give me chance to explore the world. I will never so grateful than getting the chance for studying in Hiroshima University. During my master, I researched about educational equality in Indonesia especially about religious education for all religions. I was interested in this topic because reaching educational became the issue for many decades even now in developed and developing countries. Even, many goals have been set up; EFA (Education for All) in Dakar Declaration and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) 2015. In order to meet the human rights. By doing this research, I hoped it will able to contribute to reach that goal. Moreover, in my doctoral program, I decided to continue for researching this topic. Learning about the social life may give me better understanding about what community should have for obtaining a peaceful life and what I can do to involving in that community. Failing to fulfil the equality may become the violence of a conflict. It may be dangerous for multi-cultural country like Indonesia. Therefore, this idea can depict the equality issue then may find better understanding on how to react to it.
That is all my second introduction 😊. Nice to meet you in this website.
