Biography of Jerome Polin Sijabat

Hello everyone!, let me introduce to you about my inspiration person. His name is Jerome Polin Sijabat, you can call him Jerome. He was born on May 2, 1998.
He is student at Waseda University Japan. Beside being a student, he also has a YouTube channel, his channel name is Nihongo Mantappu with 1,94 million subscribers. He usually uploads a videos about his daily life in Japan, Challlenge with her friends, and he also uploads a videos about his opinion.  

I am very proud of him, because he was able to enter Waseda University and also get a full scholarship. At Waseda University he chose mathematics major. Of course it is very difficult to get into Waseda University, based on Jerome's blog he shared his complaints when facing Japanese collage entrance exams. Before entering Waseda University, he had to take EJU (Examination Of Japanese University), there were 4 subjects, Japanese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry. He got a high scores, Japanese 298 (exclude writing), Physics 74, Chemistry 63, Mathematics 197 (perfect score) and the total is 632. With his score, he can register to the universities he wants such as Waseda University, Keio University, Tokyo Institute Of Technology.

On September 7, 2017, he took the first phase of the Waseda University Test, the written test. he failed to do his test well, he was very disappointed, he felt that he would not pass the second exam. But God said otherwise, he passed the first exam and passed to take the second exam. The second exam is Interview. He was very polite to the two teachers who interviewed him, until the teacher said "Jerome has very a good manner". The teachers said that Jerome was in a position not to pass the second test, because his chemical score was 0. He gave the reason why his chemical score was 0, they believed and responded positively. Then the teacher said to him "Jerome, Indonesian students in Waseda are still few, Jerome means great. Jerome has a dream to make a school in Indonesia, so please send lots of students from Indonesia here, and don't forget to contribute to Indonesian and Japanese relations." He was very happy when he came out of the interview room, he was very grateful.

And after waiting a few days, he passed the phase  2 exam. He was very happy and really grateful.

And now he is a student at Waseda University and also received a scholarship, and also succeeded in his YouTube career.

Why he became my inspiration person?

because he was a person who never gave up, he tried desperately to reach his dreams. And also he always shares his knowledge on social media, he is always making other people laugh because of the funny things he does. He is a very talented person, he is not arrogant, he is very humble, one important thing that I like about him is he wants to be Indonesia's education minister. He wants to improve the quality of Indonesian education so that it can be balanced with the Japanese state.
