Being a College Student of Filamer Christian College

Some years ago, when I was in my high school, I'd never dream of having the Filamer Christian College as my official school to take my course in college.
It only came out when I was graduated at my high school. I am the one who choose filamer to be my school for college. But of course I am not the one who choose my courses but my “tiger look brother”. Being a College Student of Filamer Christian College he wants from me to take computer science as a four year course. His reason why he choose it for me because he think computer science is a general courses as he said. For the first place I never wanted the course but as time goes by I realized that computer science course is good and being with computer all the time, It's like exploring the wonders of the world.
Back to my memories when I first step in to Filamer, having a first day of my class. Oh my, that day I feel so totally stranger because I never knew someone else. Adding to my nervousness I don't know where to find my room. I feel so terrrible that day and I remember my attire was “jologs”. But now i've change a lot from a simple girl turn outs to a characterised and personalized woman. I can say that because Filamer Christian College made me a better person over for four years in staying here. I learned to accept challenges thats comes to my life like being survived in every semester. Filamer trains me to build up my talent and skills in participating the contest when founders are come. I learned to mingle with other people because being with the college shyness is not acceptable.
I have only seven months of staying in my dearest Filamer Christian College and I can say that after I graduated I will always remember the memories that will never fade in my youthfullnes at Filamer Christian College because it molds my personality to be a good citizen of my country.
