Before National Work Plan Meeting AMSA-Indonesia 2013, The Very First National Event Hosted by AMSA-UNS Ever!!

Two and a half years ago, when I entered AMSA-UNS, it was a collapse medical student organisation in campus. almost no member at all.
I decided to join, persuaded some friends to also join, and few months later we participated in AMSA National Event.

Few weeks after, AMSA-UNS had a local event, and in evaluation meeting, we discussed whether to dare hosting national event. We decided: "no, we're not ready yet."

One year then passed. We already gained more members, and on August 2012, we hosted AMSA Exchange Programme, having incoming medical students from AMSA Taiwan.

As in the next process, conflicts happened amongst members. But according to some elders in AMSA-Indonesia, it's a natural and common phenomenon. it's a sign we were progressing to the better phase.

After gaining more members from batch of 2012, we grew bigger, then decided to host national event, for the first time ever for AMSA-UNS. Totally it wasn't easy. It would never be easy. But as for today, we've made it.

Sorry, it's not "we". It's "They've made it". Why "they"? because I didn't help much. I didn't even one who decided to host it. I wasn't even part of the committee. I was even one who doubted that they could make it. But still, I was feeling so excited.



Problems seriously happened, in the days before the national event, and in the days of national event. But hey, I was having fun as I was playing delegate, as if I were a real delegate. I met old friends (seriously old, from various old batches), made new friends, and followed the schedule given by committee.

Now we're all back to real life, but I'm certain that we're all still dreaming for the bigger surprises to come. we're still wishing for more and bigger dreams to come true. And I know they will.

Because we're progressing, we're proliferating, and we're growing.
William Cheng said "Growing in Togetherness".
Nathania Sutisna said "Impacting Positively and Inspiring".
Garda Widhi now says "Striving in Harmony."

Thanks to Maytia Pratiwisitha who stood still for AMSA-UNS even when there was no member, but kept waiting for a light of hope.
Thanks to Avamira Rosita who fought hard to make AMSA-UNS strong, bravely and cleverly.
Thanks to Reza Yunita Sari who struggled every conflict and dilemma happened, and patiently stayed optimistic.

It really feels funny when the kids you used to try teaching them how to be great in AMSA and for AMSA, now are graduating your lessons. There is this indescribable feeling to see them grown. Proud, Happy, but also Insecure and Empty.

Now I wish the best for Immanuel Billy Briliandi to succeed more achievements within his tenure. Temptation will surely happen, but it is our option for Miracle to happen. It is your and your friends' option.
