Wanting to be a Diplomat, IPB Student Creates Track Since Early Stage
Young people today are often referred as 'agents of change' for the advancement of Indonesia, especially for Indonesia to the golden age in 2045. Many young Indonesians who scored achievements and brought the name of this nation, one of them is Lutvi Abdullah, a student of Chemical Analysis Expertise Program, Diploma, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB). He is currently making a 'track' of achievements to achieve his dream.
His passion in health led Lutvi to continue working in that field. He proved his passion through various achievements such as Best Research on International Project "Pikkaya" 2017 in Jakarta, Best Presentation on International Conference Food and Security "Pikkaya" 2018 in Malaysia, as well as Founder of Pikkaya, a healthy snack (chips) made of papaya skin.
Various achievement tracks that have been achieved by Lutvi increasingly motivate him to continue reaching his goal as a Diplomatic of Medicine.
"I happen to be passionate in the field of health and like to speak as well, so I collaborate these two with my dream to be a Health Diplomat," said Lutvi.
This Cianjur student is also busy with his latest research on algae that will be used as biomedicine. Algae is well-known with its benefits for beauty such in the form of mask. With Lutvi’s idea, the algae will be processed into a biomedicine (herbal medicine) that is useful for body’s health and can be consumed by anyone.
Not only in academic field, Lutvi also joined in non-academic activity of Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) BIOTROP. SEAMEO BIOTROP is one of 18 centres under SEAMEO based in Bangkok, Thailand, with a focus in the field of tropical biological research.
"In BIOTROP, I am continuing a research on kratom leaves to overcome schizophrenia disease," he said.
In addition to the health field, Lutvi also wanted to explore the field of agriculture through the movement being designed with his friends, namely #4GRICULTURE. With his academic and non-academic work, Lutvi keeps making priority for every activity he follows.
All the targets that have been achieved do solely not only to achieve its goal. Beyond that, Lutvi also wants to prove that he can be someone who excels and inspires to people surrounding him.
"Do not be shamed because of our weakness, otherwise, we should be confident with our weakness, because there must be a strength behind it. If we have found our strength, let’s make the best of it. Keep fighting," concluded Lutvi. (TK)
