             As a student, choosing the best major that suits our capability is one of the most important thing in education. In fact, sometimes things do not go smoothly as what we have planned. We may enter any unexpected major or unintentionally choose a major that we do not really want to do and if this happened, things will get difficult. We may need to survive an unfamiliar situation, or even learn something we never knew before. At this circumstance, will to try out new things plays a big role. With our guts to try out new things, we will have chance to survive any given situation one way or another.

            Beside choosing a suitable major for ourselves, finding a solution to finish given tasks or assignments is also very important. Those assignments usually have certain deadlines and requirements to complete, and we need to do it effectively and efficiently. I experienced this when doing my research assignment back then. I needed to finish my research quickly, so that I braced myself to try several method to collect data and immediately proceed the data. My innovation and creativity worked out well and I could finish my research faster than the others. Without my will to try out those new things, I would never have done it.

INTRODUCTION

          The world is always rapidly changing and renewing in every aspect and somewhat waiting to be explored. People are aware that this situation is inevitable yet some people tend to stay at their comfort zone and refuse to take a risk by accepting the change. This attitude may give them advantage to be completely proficient at their domain although in the end they are often left behind and unable to survive the competition. By looking at this fact, I always think that go out of our comfort zone and try out some new things might be the answer to the world revolution rather than do the same thing and stick to what we know. However, there is nothing that never had a risk and also there will be no future if no one tries new things. Thus, I prefer to try new things than to stick and stay doing the same thing over and over again. I will elaborate some advantages of trying out new things in these folowing paragraphs.

Task 2 "Story"

It was the event that changed my whole life. It happened about 3 years ago when I was accepted to accounting major in Gunadarma University to be exact. This acceptance was the turning point event I've talked about earlier. Why do I call this event a turning point that change my whole life? I've always wanted to be a doctor. To be accepted in accounting major is totally an opposite path from being a doctor for sure. I have never thought about it as a bad thing, though. I always feel grateful instead. I am sure that Allah has set the best plan for me, and this is part of His plan.

In the first years, I faced difficulties in study. This whole accounting related things were new for me since I took natural science subjects in high school and had never learned about accounting before. But as time passed by I managed to study hard, ask about difficult materials to my lecturer, seniors, and friends, and eventually was able to learn a lot of new things in accounting. Now, I can finally start to enjoy my study and always work to the fullest to achieve understanding and good remarks in every subject. 

For my short-term goal I hope I can graduate soon with excellent results. And as for my long term goal I hope that someday I can pursue a career in the field of accounting and contribute great things for humanity. To be involved in the field in accounting is a surprise that I never expected before. That is why I called it my turning point event and it is always going to be something I feel happy and grateful for.
