HumasUPNVJ - Warriors entering State Universities (PTN) each year have the challenge of being able to enter the coveted PTN.
It is getting more difficult with the large number of UTBK participants, which based on the Higher Education Entrance Test Institute (LTMPT) records that the total number of applicants for the 2021 SBMPTN Computer-Based Writing Examination (UTBK) has reached 776,519 people.
This might raise doubts about the results of the exam later, however, it seems that one of the UTBK fighters did not feel this.
Azka, who is one of the UTBK fighters, comes from Cilacap, Central Java. He made up his mind to choose the coveted PTN and carry out the UTBK at UPN Veteran Jakarta. By relying on relatives who live in Jakarta, Azka came to fight with thousands of other participants.
"I have arrived from far away in Jakarta to prepare myself and also carry out independent isolation first," said Azka.
Not only did he come from out of town, Azka was so enthusiastic that he came to the test location up to 2 times even though on the exam card Azka was scheduled to take the exam on Monday, April 12 2021 however, because of his high spirits Azka came back the next day with the intention of taking the UTBK exam again.
"In working on my questions there were no problems, then I thought that the exam would be held again the next day, so I came back" explained Azka with her innocence to the UPNVJ Public Relations officer.
The reason why Azka is still enthusiastic about participating in UTBK is that apart from wanting to enter the PTN which she dreams of, Azka also wants to make her parents and three younger siblings proud, and show her independence in her struggle to study.
Seeing his enthusiasm, UPN Veteran Jakarta Public Relations gave several souvenirs as appreciation for the enthusiasm he had.
With this, it is hoped that it can inspire other UTBK participants to remain optimistic about whatever they are fighting for and the totality to achieve their goals.
