Her family moved to Indonesia because her father is working here and he decided to let her study here. It was hard for her to adjust at first because of the new environment but she coped with it easily. She got some few awards from her previous school (SIS) and she felt happy and proud about it. There, she have found that she like science because she is interested in animals and plants. Then, she moved to SF because it’s nearer to her house and other schools. She felt like it will help her to be more confident. Most of the students known her as a creative, funny, and enthusiastic type of person. She is the best at solving her friend’s problems and she is quite like a ‘peace maker’ to them whenever her friends are having problems. She is always the one who cheer them up by making some jokes and hilarious stuff. Her best friends knows her for caring about their problems. She always tell them to forget about it and care for themselves. She is the one who doesn't like her friends to be sad or mad and if they do, she'll try her best to reassure them.

She enjoys watching sci-fi/action movies like all the superheroes and fantasy films. 
                   Due to her likes, She is never tired of hearing science related things. She loves to learn new information and ideas about experimental things. She also love to dissect animals even though some people might find it disgusting or hate to do it. She says she likes it because it’s fun to learn more about their internal organs and she feels like a doctor because of that activity. She has been a serious student since she was in first year high school. She says that its because she felt like this was the time to be a young adult and to understand more things seriously. Someone may not want to work with her because she is quite skeptic and they might be annoyed of her because she talks a lot. She wants to help in charity at least once her life. Her reason is because she wants to make something happen for a good cause. She wants to do it not only to please God but because it also gives her joy. She donated her used clothes, toys, foods to the victims of the flood before then. She also bought sorted goods and brought them to my old school for my classmates who were affected by a strong typhoon. In that experience, she could feel generosity, compassion, and the feelings from them. she mostly spend her time at home playing video games. She loves to spend the weekends by watching movies and eat in a restaurant. It’s impossible for me to give up education because that is the key to my future. She wants people to remember her as a person who will find answers and happiness in life. She wants them to know her as a unique person based on her personalities and actions.
