Education has always been my passion, since I realize how important education for human life. Yes, I didn't think that education is very important back then, until I've worked for 4 years and felt blunt. Suddenly, I was thirsty to get a knowledge.
Regrets always come late. Why, because if I were think this way 10 years ago, maybe I wouldn't be here. Maybe I already get Master degree and work in middle management of a prestigious company.
But here I am, hobbled in a middle of 20. I am stuck in carrier, and just getting my Bachelor Degree about a month ago. With 4 years of working experience I should get a good career. But, I am not. I really want to get postgraduate schoolarship, but it is just so hard. I don't meet some of the qualification.
Most of the schoolarships require their applicants to have at least to years work experiences after Bachelor Degree. So, my 4 years experiences is nothing! They require their applicants to have a good in english by showing TOEFL or IELTS score. And I guess, I am bad at it. It was a long ago that I can use english with correct grammar.
I also wracked in work. I was quit from my last company a year ago. It was a one step back and become my disadvantage for me to come back tin working environtment. Now, it is hard for me to find the perfect job.
The point is, we have appreciate the education since a young age. Because time can not be repeated. Or, there will be many regrets, just what I feel now.
But, I still believe that I still have a chance to pursue my dream by working hard and be patient.

hai eno,
wow, this post really strucked me. Hard.
Yes, I am one of those people who have taken some things for granted. I think I should be thankful and be grateful more for what I have now.
Anyway, I just wanna share a different perspective (from a spoilt brat like me,maybe) about higher education.
You see, as much as I wanted a higher education (I am pursuing a profession and a Master degree in Ophthalmology department), actually that desire almost gone the moment I stepped into this residency field. I was shocked.
Apparently, higher education is not as easy as I used to think. Wow, it is full of drama to the core! (persaingan, fitnah, penuh air mata, keringat dan nangis darah, banyak pengorbanan materil dan immateril). You might as well regret taking it :p
So now, "the time of preparation" as I like to call it, you might want to use your time preparing for higher education, more patience, more hard work (and I do really mean HARD work), good time management and so on. This is golden period for you,to prepare well, before entering higher education. Make good use of it and see you on the other side of the road :)
oh, and about the IELTS/TOEFL thing, believe me, you can ace it with lots of practising, no problem dear, practice, practice, practice.
As for chances for scholarship,
just one word.
Perseverance.
with lots of prayers too.
That's the key :)
and the only key, I suppose.
bungajeruk...thank you so much for ur advice. Good luck for you too, dear. I will work hard, really hard too. No... I am working hard now ;p. Reading ur story make me realize that I am not alone. If you can do it, then I am sure that I can do it too.
I am gonna give my self a first try at the end of this year with Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
Nice to know you, bungajeruk..
