On January 15, 2014 ago, I was given the opportunity to represent my university to attend Mandiri Young Entrepreneur workshop 2014. The event was opened by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. I was really happy because it was my first time could see Mr. and Mrs. President directly.
Such as workshops generally, there are some great speakers which are usually only I can see on television and internet. Besides that, the motivated thing was Young Entrepreneur Award (WMM) and Mandiri Young Technopreneur (MYT). Seeing many nominations that most youth which don't much differ from me, I was excited to be able to entrepreneurship and becoming young entrepreneurs like them.
Another thing that makes me very motivated is the election of some women in full hijab (even two of them with a wide hijab) who won this WMM & MYT contest. As a woman who also wears the hijab, I really salute to them. At that moment, I have promise to myself that one day I will be right up there! I will be one of the nominees and be winner of the Mandiri Young Entrepreneur, hopefully.. Aamiin
Furthermore the workshop, because I sometimes typical of people who get bored easily, a few hours after hearing some of speakers. I and one of my friend walked around to saw The Mandiri Expo 2014. Anyway, Mandiri Young Entrepreneur Workshop 2014 was be held in Senayan, Jakarta.
