“Putting academics as a priority is the main thing for a student. But it is necessary to have soft skills, because it is no less important to be able to adapt in the real world. Organization is one of the best choices for trial and error to hone soft skills, before plunging into the adult world which is full of surprises,” said the graduate with a GPA of 3.58.
“Through ormawa, I get to know the best people who are passionate in their fields and achieve many opportunities that I have never had before. At ormawa, I found a new family to continue to grow together to become the best version. We must always work together to create a supportive and comfortable environment to share experiences and exchange ideas,” he concluded. (LW/Nadella-Humas)
