MOTTO AND DEDICATION

“Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You

have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your

mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticize you, just keep on believing in

yourself and turn it into something positive.”

(Leah LaBelle)

Kau akan berhasil dalam setiap pelajaran, dan kau harus percaya akan berhasil, dan

berhasillah kau. Anggap semua pelajaran mudah, dan semua akan jadi mudah. Jangan

takut pada pelajaran apa pun, karena ketakutan itu sendiri kebodohan awal yang akan

membodohkan semua.

(Pramoedya Ananta Toer)
