So, what did Angela learn in L’oreal Brandstorm 2022? Check this out!
Prioritizing and sorting out activity
Having her last year on SBM ITB, it is a matter of prioritizing for Angela to manage her expectations and sorting out activities to graduate on time. Thus, L’Oreal Brandstorm is the only competition she attended this year, after a hustle and bustle in the last two years of her university life.
Other than her own time, Angela and her friends need to manage their time together too. “We have different majors, different activities, so it’s difficult to match the schedule. To deal with this problem, we share schedules with each other, so if, for example, I’m busy with my thesis this week, we’ll change the schedule. Or if Yumna or Salma are busy with practicum, we work at night,” said Angela.
Don’t feel inferior, believe in your ideas
Going from the national final to the international final with 65 countries as their competitors, looking at the other ideas surely made them feel inferior. However, instead of eating the inferiority that they have, they keep striving and believing in their ideas. Thus, with the help of professionals from Bandung Institute of Technology and L’Oreal national and international team, Mon Soleil keeps on validating their ideas and enhance it into a great idea with its realization.
Despite of the hurdles and the hard times, Angela strive to be an international winner. To know more about Angela interesting stories as an international winner of L’Oreal Brandstorm, check it out on SBM ITB Talks Ep 67!
