In 2007, I'm trapped in a social program day, which was held by SCOPE CIMSA. SCOPE stands for Standing Committee on Professional Exchange, then CIMSA stands for Center for Indonesian Medical Students' Activities. This Organization provides all medical students over the world to go abroad for doing clerskhip. If you are doing this kinda student exchange, you could have a medical experience practice in another country (from Armenia to Venezuela) and there are more than one hundred countries you can go.
By that trapping day, I am so interested in SCOPE. It gives me so much fun, so much knowledge, and so many new friends from Indonesia and from abroad. Thing that I love the most from SCOPE is the opportunity of cultural exchange. It will be very interesting when you talk to friends from far away countries which have a really different culture with us. You'll find something that "ok, something right for me not always proper to you". We talk about rules, culture, how to eat without spoon, religion, "kumpul kebo", politeness, etc.
"Why you do sex before married?"
"Why Moslem should pray in so many times a day?"
"Why Christian divided into Catholic and Protestant?"
"Why we can't go home in lately night in Solo?"
.. and there have been unlimited question to be asked and answered.
And again, something right for us, not always proper to others. But nobody would be wrong, everyone has his/her own right to think even to speak. The more you exchanging your mind, the more you become an open-minded. World is so big and we just live in a really small part. So never waste your time, your opportunity. Make friendship as many as you can and it will be a trove at a time :)
And the most important thing that makes me stay here is ...
