MOTTO AND DEDICATION
Motto
"There will be a moment when I'm falling or I'm flying. But I keep entrust Allah SWT that my
prayers, efforts and dreams are not betraying each other."
Dedication
1. I thank to Allah SWT for giving His blessings to me for always being healthy, always
positive thinking, always patient and trusting in every dream and goal that I want to
achieve.
2. I thank to my parents who always provide support and prayers for me, always be successful
in my every achievement. There is no proper word to describe your every sacrifice for me
other than the word I love you because of Allah.
3. I also want to say thank you very much to Ale (my grandfather from papa), Opung (my
grandfather mama) and Tata (my grandmother from mama). For Ale, I only hope that Ale
will continue to be healthy until I can visit to see you again. For Opung who is sick, get
well soon, hugs and kisses from me. Also Tata, Inayah hopes that you always healty, don't
work too hard, keep being a funny grandmother for me.

they likes to tease me, but I still love you guys. I just have one pray that you can be much
better than me.

from you is one big and precious thing for myself. I learned many things and also grew

are best enough for my life.
