In the midst of her busy university activities, Vina still finds time to share her old hobby, writing a book (fiction novel) about the United States entitled Cinta Bersemi at Namsan Tower, just wait for Vina’s novel.
It is a matter of pride for the Regent of West Lampung, because Vina was able to meet directly with the Rector of the University of Central Missouri, Mr. Roger J. Best, Ph.D. in his office where not everyone can easily meet the Rector.
The Regent of Parosil hopes that Vina Qurrota Akyuningrum’s achievements can trigger the progress of education in West Lampung Regency to be even better.
“Hopefully, West Lampung will continue to produce outstanding sons and daughters in the field of education to realize Great West Lampung, Great Lampung and Advanced Indonesia,” Parosil hoped.
Vina herself was happy to be invited virtually to the West Lampung Musrenbang event. Vina is happy to be introduced to all Musrenbang participants. Vina also wants this work to make herself better. Vina also wants all students from this area to study hard and be able to achieve even better.
Vice Rector of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia Dr. H. Mahathir Muhammad, SE., MM. expressed his gratitude for the appreciation of the Regent of Parosil Mabsus. Mahathir is very happy that the local District Government can appreciate what Vina is doing in the United States.
Mahathir also wants children in West Lampung to follow Vina’s success. Vina is also open to her campus to students from West Lampung. Mahathir agreed with the Regent that the potential of the children there was extraordinary. It’s just a matter of how the campus can polish them and provide extra supplies to emerge as the generation of winners, the generation of champions. (teknokrat)
