He is interested to participate in the FLTA Program because he wants to gain professional skills, life experience and understanding of American society, especially in education sector. He would love to study about the U.S. culture and education systems. Furthermore, he is eager to share first-hand factual information about Indonesia to Americans and people of other nations to get better understanding of the country.
