“I really appreciate Mahesa’s achievements. I am sure that other UI Vocational students also have the same potential to work and compete,” he said.

“While preparing for this championship, I tried even harder. This is because they are focusing on various competitions, such as the Most Outstanding Student and Abang None Jakarta Barat, which takes a long time. So, I have to catch up with training through additional and independent training,” said Mahesa.
He said that the short training he did only in a period of two weeks. Nevertheless, Mahesa managed to bring home a gold medal as a representative from DKI Jakarta.
“I am very happy because I can bring back the name of DKI Jakarta and the alma mater, Universitas Indonesia. This success was realized because of the support from family, friends, and also the campus. I hope that in the future, both myself and other fellow students, can contribute to the campus to continue to excel and become students who have high values,” he said.
