I know IATSS a couple years ago forum from one of the alumni, she told me how the forum greatly shaped her point of view about her goals, leadership and purpose in life. At the time, I am very excited about the forum but not making actual effort to find out. Briefly after that, when I want to search about the program, I couldn’t recall the the name of the forum, so I thought maybe next opportunity will come around. One morning two months after the meeting, I read newspaper and came across the announcement of IATSS forum for 2014. Such a coincidence! And of course this time, I directly send in my application. I have long been longing to gain exposure of a forum with fellow youth from various countries to share thoughts and visions. It’s such a huge advantage to have the chance to meet most talented youth from South East Asia, since we share more less the same challenges due to our socioeconomic, political also geographical similarities. On the other hand, looking at the super tight schedule and the depth of the material given, I trully believe that I will have a lot learning to do from the leading professionals and professors at their fields. I am looking forward to join a force full team to think and learn together. Lia Marina
