This story begun when I  apply for my study permit letter to Education Department in my city. I  continue my study at Pelita Harapan University for master degree in  education. There are so many requirements on it. When I passed the test,  I ask to administration division in my school help me apply my study  permit letter. This is my second chance continuing my study. At the  first, long time ago, I enrolled my master degree at one of Government  University in Jakarta. Everything were going well. But when I wrote my  thesis, I got lack of motivation and I left all of my dreams. When I  decided to continue my study in this university, my principal did not  agree with my decision because of the time schedule coincide with my  teaching schedule. I never got permit from the school so I cannot apply  for my study letter permit to Education Department.
In 2017,  after I got my first certification fund, I continue my master degree  study at UPH as a new student. I choose UPH because the schedule is on  Saturday, and I want force myself to sharpen my English ability, though  UPH is Christian University and I am being minority at it. When it  announced that I pass the enrollment test I apply my study permit letter  immediately. I ask one of administration staff in my school to help me.  All the requirements I submitted to Education Department in my city.  Just wait and see, my friend said, the letter will deliver to me later.
One  semester over, there is no signal of my student permit letter. In the  beginning of March 2018, one of BKPSDA staff, Miss Tata, sent me a  message ask me to come to BKPSDA office due to my study permit letter  application. When we met, Miss Tata told me the regulation about  continuing study for government employees.
The regulation says that the  day of study is not allowed only in Saturday and Sunday, and I did it in  UPH. It is so confusing. In the past, I cannot apply my study permit  letter because of its time schedule collision with my teaching schedule.  So I choose UPH which the schedule is on Saturday, and I still break  the rule. Oh My God.
I explain to Miss Tata when the first  meeting of Master of Education new candidate students, the chairman of  Master of Education Department, Mr. Niko, said that UPH will regulate  the new study schedule twice a week on Monday and Saturday. Miss Tata  asked me to bring those two days schedule. I think I can reschedule the  first semester schedule. I will manipulate the schedule. I can move the  last lecture on Saturday, "Interactive Teaching Media", to Monday.  Problem solved! But I have to ask Mr. Niko for my idea. I told to Mr.  Niko my problem and my idea for solve it. Mr. Niko asked me to come to  his office on Wednesday.
When we met to discuss it, Mr. Niko said  something that amaze me. At the beginning, I am really sure he will  agree with my idea. I think it easy to me and UPH and it is not time  consuming to manipulate the schedule. But God has His beautiful  decision. Mr. Niko said that he has discussed with UPH Karawaci  according to my problem and will.
And the result is UPH Karawaci did not  agree with my idea to manipulate the schedule because it is LIE and  break the rule. The solution is UPH only can release the statement  letter that announce schedule for Master degree students are on Friday,  Saturday and Monday. Friday and Saturday are schedule for systemic  master degree in Karawaci Campus, Saturday and Monday for regular  students in Semanggi Campus. Make sense and really polite, it is not  break the regulation.
And I feel ashamed with it. I am moslem, wearing hijab, and Mr. Niko has different beliefs  with me. I feel God shape me into proper way through this case. He  shows me how to be honest. And I want to cry remember my idea to  manipulate the schedule.
Mr. Niko asked me to arrange the letter  and sent it into email. He offers use computer in IT library if I did  not bring my laptop, but I bring it. I want hide myself from the world  and blame my worst idea. After I sent him an email, I sit in silent. I  ask God forgive my faults in all ways and do not punish me due to my  omission.
Mr. Niko interrupts my daydream, brings the letter and  time schedules for systemic and regular course. He also gave me his name  card and wrote the letter behind it to the chairman of BKPSDA: if there are any question please contact Mr. Niko's cellphone number. I feel deserved.
The  day after it, I met Miss Tata again and submit the letter and  schedules. Finally, on Monday, April 9, 2018, my student permit letter  signed by secretary of my city Mayor. Thanks God! You show me beautiful  scenario.
