About me

For the first I want to say thanks for STKIP and SETC that given me opportunity to study in SETC Singkawang. Especially for Mr.Arya Jalil., Ph.D and his family that given me attention during I staying here.

My name is Shinta Sartika Sari. My nick name is Shinta. I was born on Ketapang, September 23^th 1993. I am one of the students from STKIP PGRI Pontianak who was selected to continue studying at SETC. I live in Pontianak, West Kalimantan.  I am Muslim and I am the second children from three siblings. I love English so much and I love teaching, because of that I choose English education in my college. My dream is to become a teacher or lecture. I want to make my parents proud of me and I will learn very well to make my dream become true. I am a cheerful girl, I often make my friend laugh with my jokes. Hehehe Sometime my friend angry with me, because I make over jokes. The people said, I have a beautiful smile and you can see from my picture. 

I like Doraemon cartoon since childhood until now, I like Doraemon because of Doraemon is funny cartoon. I have so many collection of Doraemon stuff, such as doll, blanket, pillow, cloths, etc. I have some phobias with animals, such as mouse, chicken, cat, and others. You should know I do hate cat so much, I don’t know why? L When I see cat, I will run so fast and that makes the people around me laugh. I am a cookies maker, when Idul Fitri come I make some cookies and I sell to my friend and my family. I got much money from that and I proud of me. If I become a successful person someday, I want to go to the Mekah with my parents and I want to make a big shop for my mother. I hope all of my dreams become true. Amin

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. The things that you should know is about three things you cannot recover in life: the WORD after it’s said, the MOMENT after it’s missed and the TIME after it’s gone. Be Careful!

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit because life has two rules: 1. Never quit, 2. Always remember rule. “shinta”

My experience in SETC

I have so many awesome experiences in SETC. The first I got new friends and all of them have a good skill in English. They are smart students and I love them so much. I got new families also, I have Pak.Hendro’s families and of course Mr.Arya’s families. All of them are so kind and always care with us. The second, I got so many knowledge that I don’t know before from my lectures and my new brother Nanda. In here I can speak English good enough than before, because I always practice my English with my friend every day. I always share some information with my friend, not only about English but about everything. I can be discipline person here, because I woke up earlier here than in Pontianak. In here I can teach the students and it makes me happy because I can share my knowledge with them.

I also have a marvelous experienced here, when I went to the Poteng Mountain. I saw the beautiful few and the awesome waterfall of there. 

I will not forget what I got here, such as visited to the elementary school, visited to the some schools in Singkawang and Bengkayang, and of course drama performance too. I learn many things here, not only about English but also learn how the way becomes a good leader and a patiently person.
