President University
I am student of Public Relations in year 2003 intake and a receiver of President University Foundation second scholarship grant. From semester 1, I am able to maintain my GPA above 3.40 as well as to balance myself with non-academic activities at the same time. It shows the ability to develop myself through both academic and non-academic achievements at once.

During the study in President University, I have been doing many self-initiated activities to make the campus life livelier. In the first semester, I did an English discussion with the English lecturer for all students. I also did interviews, researches and the first workshop on the student behavior in spending their time on vacation and some lecturers to be written in a lecturer’s book. After the final exam, I coordinated with my friends the first Blood Donor and Charity to a local orphanage.
From the First Blood Donor and Charity Day, I got the fist media exposure from Cikarang Pos and it really exposed the name of President University.

Furthermore, in semester 2 I did more and more activities such as becoming the senior journalist of President University Newsletter and contributed some articles writing. Besides that, I was the pioneer of an English Course for poor children around President University conducted in campus’ classes. Through this course, I was able to educate around 50 children who were divided in five classes and I was also able to organize my friends to teach the children English. Not only that, from my hobbies of watching movies, I held movie festivals to collect money to buy the materials for the English course and gifts for the ten poor children in a class.

When living in the previous dormitory, I also opened a mini book rental, English study center and also German Education Information Center for my peers. From those activities, I allocated 10% of the income to be donated to the orphan children. I seem to have a very tough and strong will to raise fund from the people to help others and for social activities.

With some friends, I as the Managing Chairman held a Moslem event ‘celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s Maulid. I organized an environment clean up with the neighborhoods, Islamic Film Festival and Gathering invited the Secretary of Hamzah Haz as the speaker. Other activities were Blood Donor 2 and 3 as well as the Charity Day, which invited the orphan children to come to Academia Student Housing to join the celebration of 59th Indonesia Independence Day.

I was involved as well in the first Ceremony of Independence Day in the university in year 2004. I also organized the BBQ party, which was attended by the lecturers and the management of President University in Academia Student Housing.

In cooperation with an English lecturer, I organized a workshop on ‘How to Teach Your Children English at Home’ invited teachers and parents around the university. I made the teaching methodology book of English teaching and later some other students used it for the Community Development projects.

In the early of Semester 3 last year, I was the Project Director of E-Square, a web development team who worked on the President University website development with my IT friends. Surely, it enriched me with new knowledge of Information Technology field.

I have contributed a lot for organizing some activities in President University including the fund collection for the victims of Tsunami at the end of year 2004. My contribution brought some ideas and initiatives to other students.

Part 1: Profile

At A Glance
I was born in Surabaya 22 years ago exactly on December 17, 1983 in a simple Javanese family and raised in the hometown where my parents live now. My one-and-only brother lives with his family, works for Indonesian Air Force and is placed in Makassar.

Education Backgrounds
I was very thankful to my parents, as they are highly aware of the importance of their kids’ education. From kindergarten they sent me to good quality education institutions. I spent the whole primary educations in Surabaya from elementary school (1990 – 1996) at SD Negeri Kaliasin IV (State Elementary School), Junior High School (1996 – 1999), I studied at SLTP Negeri 1 (State Junior High School) and this is possibly Surabaya’s the best Junior High School up to now and from year 1999 – 2002 I went to SMU Negeri 6 (State Senior High School).

After graduation from Senior High School, I did not straight away enroll at a university. At that time, I got scholarship from Harlem Hogeschool, the Netherlands majoring in Small Business but I could not take it as I had problem with legal matters for the visa. I was also accepted for a place in Studienkolleg Hamburg as the language study preparation at Technische Universität Hamburg Harburg, Germany majoring in Information and Communication System – a three-year international bachelor degree program, but again I faced the same problem.

In March 2003 I obtained a scholarship-two from the President University Foundation and from September 2003 up today I have been studying at President University, Cikarang, Bekasi, majoring in Business Public Relations. In year 2007, I am going to graduate and get my bachelor degree of undergraduate education.

Personal Profiles
I am a person who is credible, friendly, honest and open-minded as well as sociable. Proactive, initiating and dynamic are my personality traits that describe how I am. I have a strong and tough work ethic: fast, hard and smart working with high commitment, dedication and integrity; three key elements of success that I always bear in mind.

Part Zero: Twenty Two Life Lines

After very miserable mental war, I eventually could finish writing this “mini-autobiography” book on my 22nd anniversary on December 17, 2005. It’s truly a miracle to be able to orderly put the pieces shattered into this book.

This is one of my personal ambitions to produce this book; this is probably the hardest book-piece to handle. Last year I couldn’t work this out. This year, I eventually did it. It’s awesome. Through the hard days I had to struggle and fight much harder than ever before.

The completion of this book is hoped to be capable of promoting better understanding to most people about me. I perceive the importance of producing this book and giving the copies to some people. I found out that my birthday is the best time to give this.

Besides I would like to create a new form of curriculum vitae. In spite of making the ordinary format, I innovatively create the new form like a book. It’s about how to understand people like reading books. This form is much easier to understand about someone else.

Furthermore, this book is as a means of reflection of me. What I have been doing so far, what I have been contributing to other people and society and what I have learned about life. In my 22nd anniversary I do hope that I can be a better person to everybody in the coming years.

Mohammad Reiza, Delegasi Muda Indonesia

This article was written sometimes last year (2007) before attending the 1st UNESCO Asian Youth Forum.

Lingkungan hidup merupakan bagian yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan generasi muda saat ini. Pemuda memiliki tanggung jawab untuk melestarikan dan menyelamatkan lingkungan dengan menerapkan pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Partisipasi Mohammad Reiza dalam kegiatan pelestarian lingkungan hidup dimulai ketika dirinya menjuarai lomba karya tulis dalam Bahasa Jerman tingkat nasional tahun 2002. Dari kemenangan itu, Reiza dikirim ke Jepang sebagai Duta Remaja Indonesia untuk AEON 1% Club. Program itu didukung juga oleh Departemen Pendidikan Nasional dan APRINDO.

Selama di Jepang, mahasiswa tahun keempat jurusan Public Relations (PR) ini bersama 23 peserta lain dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia belajar mengenai berbagai hal tentang pengelolaan lingkungan hidup yang baik. Hal ini dilakukan melalui kunjungan-kunjungan ke tempat pengelolaan limbah, pusat perbelanjaan dan hiburan yang ramah lingkungan. Selain itu, para Duta Remaja juga berdialog dengan beberapa orang yang terlibat dalam pembangunan lingkungan hidup berkelanjutan dan mengadakan observasi lingkungan.

Tahun 2005, mahasiswa President University (PU) ini kembali ke Jepang untuk mengikuti pertemuan alumni Duta Remaja yang dihadiri oleh sekitar 200 peserta dari 11 negara. Selama program, peserta mengadakan diskusi dan dialog mengenai lingkungan hidup, kunjungan ke beberapa perusahaan yang memilliki tanggung jawab sosial di bidang lingkungan hidup. Selain itu, para alumni duta remaja mengikuti Festival Penanaman Pohon di desa Miyagawa, Nagoya yang dihadiri oleh lebih dari 1,000 orang.

Di tahun yang sama, Reiza juga melakukan kunjungan ke Singapura untuk mengadakan penelitian praktis mengenai komunikasi lingkungan hidup.

Lebih jauh lagi, Reiza juga mengikuti program Bayer Young Environmental Envoy 2006 beserta 14 finalis lainnya dan harus melewati masa karantina dalam Eco-Camp yang diadakan di Puspiptek, Serpong selama satu minggu. Selama masa karantina, para finalis berdialog dan berdiskusi dengan beberapa pakar dan ahli lingkungan hidup seperti mantan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup, Sarwono Kusumaatmadja dan juga staf ahli dari UNESCO Jakarta.

Meskipun tidak terpilih sebagai Duta Muda Lingkungan Hidup Bayer dan diberangkatkan ke Jerman, Reiza berangkat ke Korea Selatan dan melakukan penelitian komunikasi lingkungan hidup selama satu bulan. Penelitiannya mempelajari lebih jauh peranan kampanye komunikasi yang banyak digunakan di Korea Selatan, yang merupakan satu dari empat Macan Asia. Dari hasil penelitian, ditemukan beberapa hal yang bisa digunakan dan diaplikasikan di Indonesia dengan target generasi muda.

Selain itu, Reiza melakukan kunjungan ke Hong Kong untuk melakukan dan memperdalam penelitiannya mengenai komunikasi lingkungan hidup. “Setelah melakukan penelitian komunikasi lingkungan hidup di Singapura, Hong Kong dan Korea Selatan, saya ingin melakukan penelitian yang serupa di Taiwan untuk melengkapi data-data komunikasi lingkungan hidup di Negara Macan Asia untuk dituliskan dalam sebuah buku,” ujar Reiza.

Pengalaman-pengalaman di atas memberikan pengetahuan lebih mendalam mengenai lingkungan hidup dan langkah-langkah yang bisa diambil dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan lingkungan hidup berkelanjutan. Selama masa pendidikan di President University, Reiza telah menyelesaikan tiga program magang – internship: di Corporate Communication PT Cardig International, Events Department di British Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia dan di Unit Komunikasi Informasi UNESCO Jakarta. Program magang yang merupakan syarat kelulusan mahasiswa PU tersebut memberikannya pengalaman bekerja dan bagaimana menyesuaikan diri di lingkungan kerja yang berbeda-beda.

Selama program magang di UNESCO Jakarta, mahasiswa yang sedang menyelesaikan skripsi mengenai lingkungan hidup ini mendapatkan beberapa tugas diantaranya membuat Newsletter Unit Komunikasi Informasi dan dia juga mengajukan dua proposal pembuatan manual komunikasi dan rancangan Newsletter untuk UNESCO Jakarta. Selain itu, Reiza juga mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mengikuti misi ke Banda Aceh selama satu minggu. Di sana, dirinya memberikan pelatihan Teknologi Komunikasi Informasi untuk penyiar Radio dari berbagai daerah Aceh.  Bersama dua pelatih lain dari Jakarta, Reiza melatih bagaimana membuat newsletter dan membuat weblog.

Bulan April yang lalu, Reiza dinominasikan oleh Komisi Nasional Indonesia untuk UNESCO dan diterima sebagai Delegasi Pemuda Indonesia untuk menghadiri Forum Pemuda Asia UNESCO pertama di Pulau Jeju, Korea Selatan tanggal 25-29 Juni. Forum ini merupakan program awal sebelum menghadiri Forum Pemuda UNESCO di Paris, Perancis bulan Oktober yang akan datang.

Take A Look At Me Now!

Visit of Malaysian National Commission for UNESCO to UNESCO Office Jakarta, November 2006

‘Up Close and Personal: Me, Myself and Reiza!’

I am the second and the last son in my family, grew up in a very happy and depressing environment and condition, but it did help me to find the Alchemist so far. Feel so blessed to have those childhood memories and be a very tough person in life.

I am what I am doing progressively, but I am not what you think I am. Sometime I can be nice but some other time I can be so rude. I am passionate and affectionate but all of a sudden I can be so cruel and rough. Simply too expressive. Some say I am modest but others say I am just too confident.

Well, all those opinions are a way so subjective. If you read the testimonials written below, you will find me in so diverse point of view of people. But I am not a ‘Chameleon Guy’, simply wanna be what I wanna be. I let myself to be expressively free.

Wise men said, “Don’t believe in one-half of what you see and don’t believe in one-half of what you hear” for all those things might not be completely true.

I love myself for the man I wanna be and I love myself for the man who is so determined to achieve what I have been dreaming of. I love myself just the way I am rite now and then.

I am so easy-going person with down-to-earth mentality, simple but modern and can go along with everyone of you in all good and bad conditions. A proactive personality, sometime active and sometime turn to be hyperactive individual. Very helpful, sociable and generous person even though sometime become so greedy and stingy.

Na, I bear in mind that nobody’s perfect…But I believe that imperfectness is the perfectness itself, no?! That is the rainbow of life, black and white and the shadow areas.

I have dark sides too as a human being but I am shining that side with my bright side to cover what I don’t want others see about me.

That’s what I am about. If you want to know more about me & the my bibliography fact-sheet for free, my contact number is given below.

Cheers,

Reiza
