[unsoed.ac.id, Tue, 25/02/25] In the midst of a challenging academic journey, many students display high spirits and achieve remarkable accomplishments. One such student is Yulian Gopal Singpanki, the recipient of the Affirmation of Higher Education (ADik) Papua scholarship.
Yulian excels not only in his studies but is also actively involved in sports and various organizations. He was born on July 13, 2002, in Kabiding Village, Oksibil District, Pegunungan Bintang Regency, Papua Province. This region is a remote mountainous area near the border with Papua New Guinea, which has limited access and is primarily reachable by air.
A Determined Educational Journey
Yulian studied at SD YPPK St. Vincencius Mabilabol. He then continued to SMP YPPK Bintang Timur Oksibil and completed his secondary education at Yosudarso Kepanjen Catholic High School in Malang. In 2021, Yulian enrolled at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Unsoed, majoring in Political Science. He made this decision with the goal of building a better future and pursuing his aspirations in the field of government.
Yulian, an active and outstanding student, achieved first place in a football tournament while representing FISIP Unsoed. He was also recognized as the best player in the FISIP Solidarity League. His passion for football, which developed during his childhood, has made him an athlete who not only proudly represents his faculty but also inspires many other students. His success demonstrates his ability to balance academic achievements with extracurricular activities.
Challenges and Resilience
During his time at Unsoed, Yulian encountered various challenges, particularly financial ones. Although he was awarded an affirmation scholarship, he still struggled to meet his daily needs, such as housing and food. Nonetheless, these difficulties did not diminish his enthusiasm for learning and personal development. He received considerable support from his lecturers and friends in HIMAPPA, which further fueled his determination to succeed.
“Success belongs to those who are diligent, study hard, and pray.” This belief has become a guiding principle for Yulian as he faces various challenges. He is convinced that with hard work and prayer, any dream can be realized. In the future, he aspires to pursue a career in government, particularly as a legislative candidate, to make a meaningful contribution to society. As the youngest child in his family, he feels a strong responsibility to make his parents proud and to be a source of pride for his family.
Yulian Gopal Singpanki’s life journey and achievements demonstrate that hard work and perseverance can lead to realizing one’s dreams. With an unwavering spirit, he continues to excel in academics, sports, and everyday life. His inspiring story serves as motivation for other students to remain resilient in the face of challenges and to keep pursuing their dreams.
