PATTERNING TITIP

The first time I heard about TITIP was when we had some friends in our foundation that were alumnae of TITIP, but at that time I haven't thought about being in TITIP to learn English. Time went on and on, in October 2023 I heard about the scholarship from the Central Papua government to go to TITIP for three months full time course. The story began when I saw the announcement in Facebook and WhatsApp, I copied the link and just applied. after few days of waiting I got phone call that told me about the offline test in Nabire would be held a day after the phone call. I came to the place we had the test early that morning. the test started at 9 AM with TOEFL test and end with an interview at 3 - 5 PM. they told us to wait for the phone call from them weather we are accepted nor not. after a week of waiting I thought I wouldn't got the scholarship so i just do what I do and not prepared for that. on 26 of November about midnight I got a text from TITIP staff, not to tell me that I passed or not. It's just a text with tickets with my name in one of them. it said that we would went to Jayapura (TITIP) on 27 November morning with airplane. in the airport I met some of the scholarship participants and we went together with the same airplane. at the Sentani airport the TITIP staff was ready to picked us up from the airport to TITIP dormitory. the first night we got together and heard about all the rules of the dorm and the school. I wasn't too astonished about the rules because I used to do some of them as my routine activity. Wake up earlier, doing chores, on time, presentable, do all the homework, no handphone and else. that all is ok to me, it wasn't a big deal.

I've got a lot of new things in here, I met new people and learnt new thing, there's things that was interesting to me like, I know the reason why it is subject and why it is object, it's pretty amazing. my routine for the last two weeks is almost the same every day like, wake up at 4, running, work out until 5, prepare my self for 30 minutes(except Friday when I am a cooking group), go to kitchen at six, take breakfast, at 7 devotion until 8, then we have class from 8 AM until 3 PM, study time 4 to 5 PM, chores and cook at 5, supper at 6, devotion at 7, study time at 8 (since the second day we have class at study time where we can teach each other), and finally sleep at 10 PM. do that for almost two weeks now, hopping that at the end of the course, there will be a graduation 🎓 I may will have to ask for permission in January and February because I have to do my job and also go for the winter school in Srilanka. I have to improve myself more and more, that is good. you should do that too, for goodness sake. knowledge isn't free, you have to pay attention. leave your comments and suggestions here or in my IG, FB , need that to grow.
