My Uni Story: Mechatronics, Miss Indonesia, BEM Head, and Germany |  

Same things happened to me. Early this year, I was so bumped out when I got rejected to work in Japan from a certain company. But you know what? I didn't give up and use the rejection as a fuel to get my gears going. I started to "hustle" my way through by studying, grinding, and asking for advice. Long story short, I managed to get an offer from another company in Japan which I think it's a better for me personally. Moral of the story is, when life's pulled you back, just imagine yourself as an arrow. Just keep aiming, keep focus on the direction you want to go to. And when the arrow "whoosh"-es, who knows that you'll be in a place you never know you're supposed to be. Btw, great video. I always love your language content. It's funny and relatable for us Indonesians 👍Thank you. Terima Kasih. ありがとう。

She’s the biggest source of inspiration for me right now.

I don't know who got the Miss Indonesia title and I don't wanna know, because there's no way anyone could really beat you 😍

"It's not the circumstances that define you. But what you decide to do with them" 💯🔥

Feeling down after being rejected by NUS (and NTU) is relatable lol. It's not such a big deal, because nothing shameful from trying to achieve big dream. Those Singaporean Unis are notoriously hard, even for educated and well experienced people. Glad that you find your own path that shape you the way you are now. Never thought you're studying engineering from the way you make your videos lol, you are indeed really smart.

All the best, Genesia. You are so inspiring.

Honestly, That gave me surge to tackle things going on in my life now, Thankyou. PS - i am really happy for you and i wish you grow more.

Aku org jerman yg lagi belajar bhs indonesia, jadi video2 kamu tentang bhs jerman / bhs indonesia lucu dan informatif banget buat aku haha! Keep it up!

kakk omg... thank you for making this video. i'll come back here when i already made the most of my situation right now, thank you!

Kalo liat orang kaya kakak ini bawaannya mikir: kok bisa?!?! Kok bisa bagi waktu nugas di teknik yang segambreng itu bareng sama ngurus organisasi juga?? Kok bisa anak teknik lulus summa cumlaude?? Kok bisa bagi waktu ambil part time master pas kerja full time padahal lulusnya susah banget?? Kok bisa sesibuk itu tapi masih bikin konten?? Kok bisa??? Tepuk tangan buat mbaknya, keren banget!👏🏼👏🏼

You're an inspiration to all 😃

This video leaves me with a weird feeling. Let me send ahead that the successes portrayed in this video are well-earned and a stellar example of someone putting in a lot of hard work and reaping rewards. I respect that, and I respect the feelings of doubt, depression or issues with self-worth that the initially mentioned rejection might have caused. It just seems that as a motivational video the target audience might be rather specific. Essentially the video boils down to "after not getting into the total top level elite just like that, I instead threw myself into every single curricular and extracurricular activity I could find and worked myself to the point of sleep deprivation". That certainly is good for your CV, but I know a lot of people who actually struggle to get things done and even achieve a sliver of all of this, people who do not have the psychic resilience or mental energy to attempt even half of that without having a total fucking burnout. So essentially this way of going about things is a best case scenario for hardcore achiever types of people. I'm not sure someone who can actually get this awesome amount of work done needs much inspiration to actually do that. Maybe it's a very Asian perspective on success, where not entering the global elite is already failure. Even "17 year old Gene" who "thought her life was over" is shown holding the largest golden trophy I've ever seen in a non-professional setting. Not exactly the image with which I'd portray someone struggling. I guess as someone from the "has issues" part of the population, I feel slightly chaffed by someone portraying a Grade A career earned with super hard work as an unexpected positive result. If someone wishes to educate more on the inside perspective of someone who feels represented by this video, I'm more than happy to learn about that. I hope I didn't come across as too rude.

What a remarkable young woman. I don't know her yet she makes me feel proud. Quite an achievement. Have a wonderful life Geste😊

That’s so amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience and reminding us to be grateful even when things don’t always go our ways. We will even get better things in the end. 😃💗

What a super beautiful video, fills my heart and encourages us all to keep striving to achieve things we are proud of. Best of wishes ☺️

Great video! Great reminder that things don't always go as we planned them, but that doesn't mean they're bad. Sometimes the unexpected path leads us to great places, maybe even better ones than we could think of before!

MasyaAllah mantap beut kk,,, hope 2 c u next year in Germany 😊

Völe Maşallah. Tüm Gökçeada halkı olarak başarılarının devamını bekliyoruz.

From all different background I could think of when I watch your vidoes on culture comparison, never have I thought about Mechatronics holy fug girl! You made me want to pursue my mechatronic dreams back.❤

Beautiful AND smart😍😍😍

Thank you for your amazing video! I also has the same situation when I'm trying to apply studying abroad. At first I'm struggling to enter Japanese university and i only got a chance to get a student exchange program. But it some miracle i got offered to continue my master's study in South Korea and here I am now in South Korea. The lesson i learned is don't give up if though you failed at your first plan. Stay strong guys! Again, thanks for the video 😁 감사합니다!

Good story and entertaining as always. Though I'm in confused with my own choices on what should I'm focusing right now. I just graduated and having a full-time job as of now, but at the same time I want to continue my own project like my youtube and my writing stuff 😂 But anyway, it's an interesting story. And I've motivated by you quite a long time ago when I asked you on instagram about learning language and should I read a book based on my language that I learned or not. Your replies are giving me the motivation to keep up my language study and finish my major. So, thanks again 😊

Beneran jadi inspirasi ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

You're so inspiring ❤

So proud of you... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Oh-la-la - pintar dan cantik

When I graduated from high school, I had a big dream to study abroad but I failed my scholarship application. Fast forward 1 bachelor degree and a few years work experiences later, I was more mature and capable of making decisions on my own, I got a full scholarship and studied my Master degree in one of the prestigious universities in Beijing. It did feel like a long detour but I thank God that I finally got there when I was ready to get there.

But don't forget to mention financial family support background. Not all people born in wealthy circumstances and the university that you mentioned is one of the highest paid tuition fee university which is not all people can afford unless they got full scholarship or rich family support

So inspiring

Congrats 👍🏼

What a brilliant girl ❤

She is beautiful ❤

Tetap berkarya mbak 👍👍👍

Wow, Beneraran jadi inspirasi

I want to get an scholarship as my family doesn’t have enough money. Colleges are more expensive nowadays & I would really want to go to ITB. Though I am still in elementary school, I really think I should try getting good grades by now. It would also be cool to get an scholarship abroad. You are an inspiration for so many people & I hope you have better things waiting in the future.

Oh in Südwestfalen, just around the corner (compared to Indonesia). Where in Soest, Hagen, Iserlohn, ...?

Impressive

So smart

Please join Miss Mega Bintang. Mak Igun Will help you a lot.

I just felt like an interviewer. You are hired!

As an engineering student, i could relate with the Calculus. Parahnya ada part 2 nya pulak, padahal ga rame😅

Ooooo Ternyato wong Kito

Jujur ini konten yang cukup positif tapi sangat bias Bahkan secara dialektika tidak dekat dengan nilai-nilai inspiratif

WOAH

Pengalaman saat kuliah yang menyenangkan

Oh I also know someone wha was 17, didn't get into her dream university and then thought her life was over xD

Ampun dah cewek bisa jadi engineering dual degri German lagi 😮 gue bedai huruf fokal aja puyeng 😂

Ci kerja d jerman di liat ipk gasi? Saya bru lulus dri mech, eng. Ipk 2,5 keknya susah kalo d sini

G nyangka mbak ternyata dari Sumatera

Nah dulu kaget liat linkedinnya mekatronik 😂

Bung how did you use the same message as my college essay 😭

Sgu apa kak kamus di indo ato di luar

Very impressive 👏👌 still waiting for your reply regarding Industrial Automation Talk we can talk in google meet etc...

Wow you so amazing, graduate with Summa Cumlaude in electrical engineering and become president BEM, how can like that? 😮 so insprite me, i can study harder to study abroad 🔥

What's your MBTI - just curious 😊

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

FIRST :D

do you want to come to united Kingdom

Wenn ich an die Geste denke, dann wird mir immer klar, dass alles was ich will entweder verboten ist, zu teuer oder dick macht. Da muss ich wohl weiterhin alleine meinen Popo reinigen.

i will not let my parents to know about your existence. I've been compared enough... lol

How beautiful Indonesia can be when they reject the reIigion of hate, intolerance, oppression and c h i I d r 4 p € imposed upon them by their invaders, colonisers and oppressors. Gives me hope for the future.

so glad singapore rejected you, not because you arent welcome here, but as a singaporean i wanna leave and move to germany too 😂

Is it me or you got also out typical german accent.😅?

If you're a pearl. you can easily be ground to dust and eaten away. not the best analogy

I have no idea who you are and good luck on your way. But lord help me. This is the story of so many girls Ive seen that are over archivers. Well, until their 30s come. They get panic, get pregnant, end their careers there. So they burned themselves out, to please parents and society and their own sense of accomplishment, just to end up where they invariably end up anyway. Because they are in a mindset of "I can do everything at the same time" of course they also want the perfect family and perfect kids. Truthbomb, kids will end your career. Yeah yeah yeah, modern women can do it all... Sure. Great story bro. So, all this burned up activity gave you a mix of rush plus sense of archiving something, but in the end it doesn't matter. Pro tip, you don't need archivement to have a great life. Living a fair amount in between is worth way more.

You lacked of sleep. Wait. Did you even sleep? 🫠
