For me, they are more than lecturers, they are role models in my life. They taught me many life lessons that I didn’t receive in classes.

My honorable appreciation I give to all of my friends in batch 2009, 2010, and 2011. Thank you for spending the time to filling in my questionnaires. Without them, this thesis would not be completed.
Last but not least, I give my deepest appreciation to my family who always encourage me in every situation and pray for me, Koko who always push me and cheer me up. My thankfulness I give to my friends batch 2010, BEMU 2011/2012, SMU 2012/2013, Global Friends Soegijapranata Catholic University, Bikin Film Yuk Community. Thank you for coloring up my college life!
You give me hope, the strength, the will to keep on No one else can make me feel this way
And only you can bring out all the best I can do
I believe you turn the tide and make me feel real good inside
You pushed me up when I’m about to give up You’re on my side when no one seems to listen And if you go, you know the tears can’t help but show You’ll break this heart and tear it apart
Then suddenly the madness starts
It’s your smile, your face, your lips that I miss
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me and make me say, I’m with you through all the way
‘Cause it’s you who fills the emptiness in me It changes everything you see
When I know I’ve got you with me
You – Basil Valdez
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind When I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won’t forget
I was here, I lived, I loved
I was here, I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here
I want to say I lived each day until I died
And know that I meant something in somebody’s life The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave That I made a difference , and this world will see I was here
I just want them to know That I gave my all
Did my best
Brought someone some happiness Left this world a little better just because
I was here
I was here – Beyonce Knowles
