" Friends are family we choose."
After the program, I am so happy because I gained a new family. My fellow Sea Teacher participants and our buddies became my new friends. We shared a lot of precious memories. Eventhough we have a lot of differences, we shared a strong bond with each other.We understand and respect the differences in terms of beliefs, culture and tradition. We also cared and supported each other since the beginning. In a short period of time, the friendship blooms. Personally, I love them like my brothers and sisters. I already consider them my family across the sea. I felt so sad when we have to leave. It was so hard to leave Bandung because we will be away from each other but I know the friendship will stay forever. I know that someday we will meet again. We didn't meet in Bandung by chance because were destined to be part of each others life. I am truly grateful that the program became the way to meet such amazing people.
This photo was taken at Mamah Legend last February 6, 2020. We ate Nasi Goreng for late lunch. It was memorable because this is my first picture with them.
We went to a photostudio in Cihampelas Walk Mall to take these photos last March 2, 2020. We were sad because Bee, the other Sea Teacher participant from Thailand didn't join us because she has an upset stomach that time.
This photo was taken last February 7,2020 after the opening ceremony at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia showing me, the other Sea Teacher participants, and the buddies.
This was my photo together with my classmate Crystal and our buddy, Rahma taken last February 10,2020 during my first day at Pelita Nusantara, Bandung, Indonesia.

Serious Pose! It was so funny because I naturally have an smiling face.
I, together with the other Sea Teacher partcipants (Pook, Mirei, Brian and Crystal) and our buddies (Rahma, Neily and Yusril) doing the ugly face pose.
Smile! We all smiled at the camera.
I was really touched by the care and support of our buddies throughout our whole stay in Bandung. I was truly touched even more when they prepared personally made gifts for us which they gave after the closing program.
Yusril is a cool and smart buddy. He's a Science student so it's given. He's also funny and always give positive vibes.
Yusril made a very beautiful bouquet out of flowers and ferns that you can found in Bandung.
Neily is so caring and accommodating. She's like a mother to us all. Whenever you need her help, she's one call away. She's also a bit shy just like me.
Neily made an infinity bracelet which she said will represent our friendship that will last forever.
Rahma is friendly and outgoing. She's fun to talk to and have long conversations with.
Rahma made a drawing of me and a letter which truly touched me a lot.
The program also made Crystal and I more close. We've been classmates for almost four years. Throughout the program, we helped and supported each other. We did our best to make our university proud. I am so thankful that we get along and developed friendship.
Crystal and I showing our killer smiles.
