WHY I CHOOSE SOCIAL SCIENCE EDUCATION

After I finished my duties as a senior high school student, I decided to continue studying to Tanjungpura University. At first, I actually put Management on the first choice and Social Education on the second on SBMPTN test. The SNMPTN result was announced on 9^th of May 2016 and I was accepted at Social Education. I was very grateful and happy for that. When I met my friends up at my friend’s house, we talked about college life. When we were talking about it, one of my friends made me doubt to choose Social Education by telling me that the program was still C-accredited. By hearing that, I was in doubt and wanted to take SBMPTN test.

I wanted to take the other program, which was Sociology. But, my elder sister did not agree about that. It was because she had been being a student of that program. She did not want me to take Sociology, too. But I kept my choice to take Sociology on SBMPTN test. But, my parents told me not to waste my fortune of being accepted at Social Education. Moreover, there was thousands of people wanted to take SBMPTN test.

If I took SBMPTN test, it meant I had to leave Social Education behind and it made me doubt. I did not want to put any expectation on something uncertain. And finally, I listened to what my parents said to me that I would stay on Social Education. But, I did not feel sorry for being accepted on Social Education because I could meet new friends from different cities.
