Christofel's introduction: background and business career aspirations

¶ … Christofel and I'm from Indonesia. Indonesia is part of Southeast Asia; with over 18,000 counted islands it is by far the largest and most varied archipelago on Earth. The purpose of this letter of introduction is to give you an idea about myself.

I am writing this letter of introduction to offer more information about my background and my career goal.

First, I'll explain my background. I grew up in the largest city in Indonesia, Jakarta, which is the capital. It is currently the largest city in Southeast Asia with an estimated population of 10.2 million people. I had lived there for almost 19 years before I moved to United States to pursue a bachelor degree. At first, it was really hard for me to decide whether to study in the United States because my time in Indonesia as a teenager was really memorable and enjoyable. However, I eventually decided to go to U.S. after my parents persuaded me to get a better education in order to pursue my big dream of becoming a successful businessman. The first time I arrived here in the America, I didn't apply to any universities because I realized that my English skills were not at the level where one can talk normally to people in English. Therefore, I decided to attend a community college at the beginning of my journey. My first community college was called Green River Community College which is located in Auburn, Washington. It's a very nice city to live in if you prefer a rural area where the people are really friendly. I spent one and a half years there and then transferred to Glendale Community College in Los Angeles. During the year I spent in Los Angeles, my English improved significantly because I only made a few friends from my country and I tried to speak in English whenever I can. After I met the requirement credits to transfer, I decided to apply to Hult International Business School and moved to San Francisco. It was such a really good experience for me to keep moving to different places because I got the chance to meet new people and make a lot of friends.
