Ardia Tanyta Pradono and Antya Cinyta Pradono could not hide their happiness and pride during a graduation ceremony at Deutsche International Schulle (DIS) in Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD), Tangerang.
The happiness was quite reasonanbale because the cheerful twin sisters are the first Indonesian students who managed to complete studies and pass examinations until senior high school at the German International school.
“We are very proud and very thankful to all here at the school because we realize that only hard work that helped our success in what ever difficultty we have faced hen studying at this school,” the twins told The Jakarta Post after the graduation.
Ardia and Antya hoped that they could be good examples for other Indonesian students who will study and those who have been studying at the German Internatinoal school.
“There is nothing to be afraid of at all if Indonsian stusdents have interests to go to German International school beause hard work is always the main key that can solve all difficulties,” they said.
Agatha Pradono, the mother of the two Indonesian successful students said she and her husband Donny Pradono had agreed to send their twins to continue their studies in Germany .
“Of course we are so proud because none of 12 Indonesian students who had studied at this school could pass until senior high school and they have to move to other school instead. Our daughters are the first Indonesian students who made it,” said the 46 years old mother.
The happy Agatha said she and her husband were very glad to see the struggles of her daughters so that they managed to pass the Arbitur (senior high school exams) and complete their studies there.
She said, Ardya and Antya will leave the country for Germany in September to continue their studies. Ardya will take architecture while Antya will study communication at German Universities.
The twins sistes were among 16 senior high school students of DIS who were inaugrated by Freiherr Van Maltzahn, German Ambassador to Indonesia at the school campus in BSD on Thursday.
Maltzahn, who dierctly handed down school diplomas to all graduates one by one said he was very delighted to know that two of the 16 graduates were Indonesian students.
“German International school does not only teach students how to read, write and various sciences. It also manages to abridge cultural assemblies and mutually understanding between German students and locals who go to German Inetrnational school at their respective homebase,” he told Post.
Therefore, the ambassador encouraged more Indonesian students to study at the German Internatinoal school which also equips students with good commands, various other creativities and skills to support their future.
“I believe that the school will always give the best for its students’ future,” he added.
Meanwhile, the German school principal Peter Schafer said the school is also preparing a summer course for ten Indonesian students who are interested in studying german Language.
