Participating in Exhibition

In the first semester, I’ve participated in exhibitions such as International Festival and Women and Gender Studies Exhibition. It was a fabulous experience, because I could work with many people and met new people also learned to organize.

In international Festival, My Indonesian friends and I prepared all the things that we would show in the Information table. I love Indonesian here, they are lovely and support each other. Usually we just have fun by singing and playing music together, eating Indonesian foods etc. There are only a few Indonesian in Morgantown and for that event; we got an email from office of international students to be the ambassador of Indonesia. It was such an attractive exhibition, moreover it’s our first time participating in it. In exhibition, I met new people so that I could learn from them. I met an old lady from the ministry who gave me a small handbook, and she is really nice and interested with Indonesia. I also made friends with other International students from Saudi Arabia, China, Filipina etc. I enjoyed my time to share and have fun with them.

The second exhibition was women and gender studies, it was also interesting. My group made a poster about women in the workplace. I could learn from the exhibition itself and also from the visitor. In the exhibition, there was an old man that makes a little conversation with my group. He was talked about the men and women relationship. A good message that I got from him was “don’t let the one side perspective conquer you! Not every man is screw up. Actually every man has brain and heart that want to protect you as women.” His words were inspiring. Overall, something that always interesting from participating exhibition is when you can learn from the visitors. When you give something worthy then you will get the worth thing as well 
