Siti Ayesha, a library science student who makes campuses proud through karate
Ciputat, FAH Online — Siti Ayesha Maharani Syam, a student from the Library Science Department class of 2023, succeeded in making UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta proud by winning 2nd place in the karate championship in the U-21 category, women's kumite -68kg at the national level. Ayesha achieved this achievement thanks to the hard work and discipline training she has undergone over the last four months.
"My biggest motivation is to want to make parents and coaches proud," said Ayesha when interviewed by the FAH Online team. In the preparation process, he underwent intensive training up to five times a week, accompanied by his friends and trainers.
Even though she experienced difficult times due to laziness and fatigue, Ayesha managed to get up by remembering all the parties who had provided support. "I don't want what they give to be in vain," he said.
Parents are the main pillars in this achievement. Without their permission and support, Ayesha admitted that it was impossible to compete in the championship. He also mentioned the important role of coaches, seniors and friends in providing encouragement both physically and mentally.
Even though her achievements have not had a direct impact on the academic aspect, Ayesha sees this achievement as a provision to add value in non-academic fields and open new steps forward. The plan is that he will compete again in the karate championship at the end of this year, which is scheduled to take place in December.
At the end of the interview, Ayesha shared an inspiring message for other students:
"If you want to get satisfactory results, diligent training is an obligation. Because in the end, the results we will get will be the sweat that we have been inscribing. Don't forget all the sacrifices—gasoline, energy, money, parental permission and support from all parties— all have to be paid after competing."
Ayesha's passion and dedication are an example for other students to continue to excel and not give up facing challenges.
