Pasig CityDear Engr. Buenvinna:In March 2003, I will be graduating from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.  I am writing to explore the possibility of employment as a Control Systems Engineer at your Pasig facility.Early in my coursework at UP, I seriously began considering future employment with Samsung Products Inc.  

We use a number of your products in our laboratory work, and their design, precision and reliability are impressive.  More recently, however, I noted in a professional computing journal that you are undertaking a new project to apply microcomputers in automatic control systems.  Many of my electives were in the fields of control systems and computers, and I have worked for two summers in microcomputers applications.  I believe that I am well qualified to begin working on your new project; I know that it is directly related to my interests.

The enclosed resume details my educational background and experience.  I will be in the Pasig area on the first week of January and I could be available for an interview, if convenient.  In the meantime, if you need any further information, you may contact me at 047.791.2991.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Introduction

My Video:

https://youtu.be/sOP-EwCxKQk

On this page I will only introduce myself, which contains my data, my experiences and even stories about random things

First of all I will introduce myself, my name is Ismi Marhamah 17 years old(this year) I study at SMA 27 Jakarta.

 I have 2 brothers, the first is my older brother is studying in informatics and we are 4 years apart in age, the second is my little brother who is still in high school but in different schools with me who is only 1 year apart in age. 

My father has a trading job while my mother is just a housewife. My father and mother have a large age difference of 13 years. They were able to get married because they were neighbors, my father often saw my mother sweeping the terrace floor, and my mother said suddenly my grandmother said that my mother had been proposed to by someone and yes, it was true that it was my father who proposed.

My two brothers and I have different traits. Me and my older brother who tend to be quiet and can be random people sometimes and my younger brother who can't keep quiet and keep talking. When I was little my brother and I used to tease my little brother because he was very obedient, luckily he didn't cry.

My mother said when I was born (which means my older brother was 4 years old) my older brother was very happy and became a very obedient child. My older brother really wanted a sister because his friends had younger siblings, and it was true that when I was born he loved me very much, every time he came home from school he always looked for me, every time I showered and changed clothes he always helped my mother. 

Until when my little brother was born, my older brother somehow became a child who easily cried, my mother said he felt less cared for because he had 2 younger siblings, fortunately it didn't last long. 

My little brother and I often fight over trivial things, such as fighting over food or fighting over the tv remote. My little brother feels that he is the older, and I am the younger, I sometimes get annoyed and sometimes ignore. But one time he was so outrageous that I rebuked him very seriously, until I didn't realize that my little brother was crying. 

When it was a few years later I asked him why he was crying at that time, it turned out that he was afraid of me which turned out to have a very serious nature, he was surprised that I had such a side so he cried and I thought it was very ridiculous.

Okay, that's enough about my family, we rarely go into my friends. 

I have a close friend named Zulfa, she has a very opposite personality from me. While I have an indifferent, serious, and easy-going nature, he has a very caring nature, often jokes and is difficult to get along with. We were close because we were in middle school and we're still close until now.

I also have a friend who is almost 12 years in the same school, her name is Tiara. We were from elementary to high school in the same school and only in grade 6 and grade 12 were we in the same class. We share the same hobbies and characteristics, so we can be close. 

When I entered high school the first day, I was thinking whether I would immediately get a friends or not. Until when I arrived at the school lobby I met girl wearing a uniform who was going back and forth incoherently. Out of curiosity I asked "are you in class 10 science 1?" and it turned out yes, we were classmates and went to class together and sat on the bench next to each other. We have become close until now. 

In the same class I met Nadila, we were also close because our seats were close and we were often in a group. we are also close until now. Besides that, I also met other friends like Susan who was cheerful and Icha who was humble. 

When I was in 11th grade, I met pretty close friends like Yuli, Vina and Shalsa, they were very smart, friendly and very cool people. I also met a very random and cool friend, Anisa, she is very funny. Ohh yeah I also met some of my middle school friends, they were very cool and fun.

Many people say high school is beautiful because we met our love but for me high school is beautiful because I have close friends who are cool and understanding. Maybe this is my introduction, see you on the next blog blog
