Meet Yemima:
My name is Yemima. I was born on Bali in 1999. I am the first child of three siblings. My father passed away when I was at grade 8 in junior high school. Therefore, me and my younger sister went to an orphanage, to have a better life and future. My brother stayed at home with my mother. From high school on, I have been thinking about my future and been dreaming of becoming useful to the community. I graduated at the vocational high school of Pharmacy in Jakarta, and now I’m looking forward to continue my study at university. I know it will be hard work. But I would like to help other people and work in a community with a high work ethic and be professional and independent, after graduation. Studying will enable me to have a brighter future, and I promise I will dedicate myself to making the nation of Indonesia better.
This year, Drop Out II also enrolled in Pharmacy. Unfortunately, she quit after just half a year of studying, due to a lack of motivation and perseverance. That taught us that we needed to reflect on our selection procedure and give better guidance to our students.
