Dear
friends and colleagues,
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope everything is going well for you and wish
you and an amazing year ahead.
It
has been a while since our last contact and I would like to share some updates
from me.
I
had a successful year in 2014. I was accepted as a part of Rawls Business
Leadership Program. On top of the scholarship it provides, the program will
also support a cultural business trip to Brazil and Chile for two weeks in May.
I am very excited for my trip and I would surely keep you updated.
At
the end of my fifth semester, I also found out that I would be able to graduate
a semester early. After considering all options and choices, I decided to
submit intent to graduate, which means that I will graduate December 2015 with
an honors degree in Finance. After graduation, I want to go back to Indonesia
to start my career. I am starting to look for an internship for the summer and
probably find a “big guy” job after my graduation. Ha!
Great
news at the end of 2014 is that my mom is healthy. She had a tumor in her womb
that keep growing for the past eight years and she bravely decided to get a
surgery to take off her womb. I hope the surgery will keep her healthy for a
very long time.
Outside
of the academics, I am still involved with the Rawls Business Ambassadors,
working at the University Writing Center, and with the Rawls Business
Leadership Program. The new exciting part is we have a new chapter of PERMIAS
(Indonesian Student Association) at Texas Tech right now. We did couple
community services, trips, and have fun together. It feels good to have a big
group of Indonesian to hangout and have fun.
I
am very fortunate to cross my path with you and I hope we will always be in
touch!
Sincerely,
Christian Timothy Wijaya
