Fatata, one of the representatives, admitted that she was interested in the event because her seniors inspired her. “From (my) early student days, I was interested in participating in the Pilmapres selection because I saw the career and experience of my seniors because they are cool and benefit (others) if they joined UNS Mawapres group,” she said. Fatata also admitted that she was discouraged because she thought Mawapres participants were excellent in terms of achievements and soft skills. Therefore, she did not expect that she could represent FMIPA. “Alhamdulillah, this year I have the opportunity to learn from Pilmapres,” she added to the uns.ac.id team.
