Persistent in Fighting for Dreams
The main key to Kai’s success in qualifying for the best universities in the world is his persistent effort and always feels the need to achieve his dreams. He underwent several special preparations while he was in high school.
He takes online preparatory lessons for studying abroad to learn how to solve Physics and Mathematics problems that will be tested. The preparatory institution that Kai participated in also provided seminar and motivational sessions that added insight and enthusiasm so as not to give up easily in competition.
Apart from that, he also took foreign language courses to get a high IELTS score as well as practice writing essays and facing interviews well.
Outside of school hours and courses, Kai also studies independently which is usually done in the afternoon.
Active in competition and organization
When he was in middle school, Kai was familiar with participating in various science competitions. One of the prestigious achievements was when he won a silver medal in the science field in the National Science Competition (KSN).
