Aku setuju banget sama semua jawaban mereka terutama sama kak amelea. Inget banget waktu jaman exchange aku di US, kebetulan aku sekolahnya di Seattle. Gurunya bener-bener office hournya tuh sampe jam 5 sore. Inget banget aku ngambil kelas pre calculus, dan aku bahas soal sampe jam 4 sore which is ga bisa aku lakukan kalo di Indo. Salut banget sama guru-guru disana bener-bener bisa reach ke siswa dan they can act both as your teacher as well as your friend. Miss those moment so much!

indonesia is poorest country in the world how indonesian can get a student visa ?

[@Gitaana7]

wdym? @@말라유

[@Paramitacdewi]

@@말라유 you should learn more about Indonesia then cause you get all the facts wrong

[@way9883]

​@@말라유 Our country is definitely not even the richest in Southeast Asia but we aren't the poorest in Southeast Asia let alone in the world. I've seen the video you post on your channel, you are literally also came from a third world country LOL just in South Asia. IDK what's your problem is but I hope you heal and stop being obsessed with us.

[@lamkenny2738]

Thanks for the amazing sharing, Amelea, Zha, Prim, and Vian! I hope that this video can inspire more Southeast Asian representation at Harvard!

[@_K_i_w_i_]

What a nice sharing! ❤ It so inspiring to see the Southeast Asian people studying in Harvard. 👍👍 Btw, love from Malaysia.

[@ginanjarT]

great to see Asean countries unite in Harvard and knowing what they interested in life, cool 👍

[@latitudelongitude3286]

Masya Allah. Now I can relate why they are in Harvard. All the answer is just so powerful, really showcased their maturity of why they want to study to the program they've chosen and their pure passion (not something you made up only for writing an essay to apply school 😂). Honestly, not like typical answer of other international master student interview I've watched in youtube. Kak Zhafira, thanks for this video. You all are awesome ❤

[@muhammadnandamaruf4521]

Kak banyakin dong konten ngobrol2 kayak gini bareng temen-temen internasional

[@amaliakinar]

Thank you kak Zhafira, Amelea, Prim, and Vian for sharing with us! Gak sabar mau liat vlog graduation kak Zhafira nantii!!

[@leaf891]

I'm still in junior high school, and I'm very excited, and of course there are lots of challenges ahead, there is a sense of scared and excited, walaupun sebagian besar lebih ke rasa takut 😊, But that's okay, I'm in the process, And I really feel proud to see you guys, you make me so inspired for this 14 year old girl,Although my environment is not fully supportive for college,Especially studying abroad, But I don't know... instead it becomes a challenge for me, to show the world and family and hopefully I can be an inspiring and great woman like all of you and others.❤, Bless for you kak zhafira dan teman teman yang lain kalian benar benar keren, Very inspiring ❤

[@nobacotbacotgaming]

[@zakmutkia]

Thanks for sharing this kind of content ❤. For next vid, it will be awesome if you share to us about what are the struggles that they made until they are in Harvard. Because you know hor Harvard competition is, like maybe almost all countries in the world competing each other to get there. And of course you can share yours again and share the perspective maybe the similarity of struggle that these 4 precious people are sharing. I will appreciate it for real.

Your English is perfect considering your 1-12 grade education was conducted fully in Bahasa Indonesia... that's amazing because formal Bahasa Indonesia is 180 degrees different than English 頭が良いと思います

[@putriichoir]

Helawww ka zhafff

[@khairiavilza7875]

now we need hijabi girls video perspective like this!

[@TairaEndless]

I think when we're talking and conversing in English and mentioning Indonesian language name, we shouldn't say "Bahasa Indonesia" or worse "Bahasa". I think non-Indonesians misunderstood our language name because of that. This misunderstanding has been tolerated for too long and it's time to stop that. Superb video, btw!

[@ebookfaiz9570]

Circle orang pinter emang beda bngt 😂

[@muhammadfaizihamdimohdfuad8751]

cake said that my pronunciation is like native because i just pronounce like zhafira did.sorry for my broken english

Hallo kak

[@dianaama1315]

Hai kak zhafira dan teman temanya, makasih banget buat sharing yg sangat berbobot ini. Bener bener berasa memberikan harapan disaat berasa ketidak mungkinan ini. Kalian bener bener memberikan jawaban bahwa semua orang memang bisa kesana, disana memang bener bener manusia seperti kita kita ini, bener bener memperlihatkan bagaimana struggle kalian yg sudah disanapun. Ga kerasa nonton ini nangis, terharu. Terharu sama perjuangan kalian dan terharu berasa bisa kok kesana. Sekali lagi terima kasih untuk menceritakan pengalaman berharga ini🙏

Bisa kali jadi versi cewe nya jerome dan genk wkwk. Tpi keknya dia effortnya gila kuliah sambil ngekonten

[@MA-2020]

Nope. Content Zha lebih ke dokumentasi perjalanan edukasi dia (& mungkin kedepannya dokumentasi riset/eksplorasi karir?).
