There is something interesting about the graduation of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences (FIA) Universitas Brawijaya (UB), last Saturday (11/8/2018). The reason is, in 2016 UB's Taxation Princess has officially become a Bachelor of Taxation who graduated with honors. Sifa Arsyanda, alumni of the Brawijaya University Taxation Study Program, received a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.87.
He admitted that getting the GPA was not easy. Besides that, Sifa is also active in organizations and diligently participates in both academic and non-academic competitions.
"During lectures, I always emphasize to myself to always understand the material that has been taught," explained Sifa. Apart from that, he added, he is always oriented to the practice of what the lecturer has explained.
“When there are quizzes or exams, I also make mind maps and review material in my own language. So it's easy to understand," he said.
Apart from studying and organizing, Sifa also works as a freelance Make Up Artist (MUA). This work has been done since he was in high school.
"Thank God, many people ordered," said Sifa. Sifa admits that she divides her time between work, studying and organizing. He has mapped out the hours when he has to work, organize and study.
Besides that, he admitted that he had never experienced a decrease in GPA to below 3.5 during his studies. It was by focusing on the goal that Sifa was able to graduate with honors.
Great support was obtained from Sifalah's family and friends who always accompanied her in fighting for her goals.
“I am grateful to be a part of FIA UB. I got a lot of experience here, thank you, Faculty of Administrative Sciences, Universitas Brawijaya," concluded Sifa.
