It is different with Achmad Za'im Mudzaki, a Bachelor of Industrial Engineering 2022 student who admits that if he is motivated because he gets the trust of the people around him, "I am trusted by people around me to always be in the process, such as family, mentors, friends, etc. and I believe that by achieving this achievement, I can increase the value of my life.” he said proudly.

Then the story is continued by Tariqhat Rama Putra, a 2019 Informatics undergraduate student who is known to have excelled in the world of Pencak Silat. His love for this sport started when he was in middle school. Then when he entered UPNVJ which is known as the State Defense Campus, Rama was determined to practice the values of defending the country through his seriousness in the typical Indonesian martial arts sport, namely Pencak Silat so that he could make the name of the campus famous by participating in Pencak Silat competitions. In between stories, Rama admits that it was not easy for him to achieve, “There are indeed many ups and downs that I have to go through and from failing then getting up again, failing again, getting up again. But I faced it all bravely so I can stand at this point.” he said. Remarkably, at first Rama achieved on his own but over time Rama invited his friends to build UPNVJ together through achievement.

The last story was shared by Alifia Farah Shaffira, S1 Accounting student. Alifia admitted that she was motivated because she was impressed when she saw her seniors achieve achievements. He never even imagined if he was actually able to do the same thing, "So actually nothing is impossible if we just want to try and try as much as possible." the account. Alifia recorded 9 dominant achievements in the field of art and design.

Based on the stories of the seven outstanding students above, it can be concluded that the motivation of each individual varies depending on their condition, but in fact it is not an easy thing to get the title of outstanding student. Ups and downs will certainly be experienced, it's just that how students deal with it will determine whether they will be successful or remain in failure.

In addition, the seven students are clear evidence of UPNVJ's commitment in developing human resources to become superior human beings. UPNVJ always provides support in the form of moral and material to its students so that they continue to compete both nationally and internationally because students are an important element in campus life. Excellent and outstanding students will automatically raise the name of the university itself.
