I will say that he is an online stranger. When I posted video content on my TikTok account about how I got the scholarship for my PhD, there were a lot of comments in the comment section. One of them asked me to help him with how to write a personal statement and how to get a scholarship. So, I helped him last year to get the LPDP scholarship in Indonesia. I assisted him through Zoom meetings and online chats about how to answer interview questions, how to write a good essay and proposal, and how to handle questions in the interview section. I felt very happy when I heard he passed several tests, and now he is continuing his studies at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
