Dery joined YCM in 2014 with the primary goal of improving his English skills and fulfilling his aspiration to interact confidently with foreigners. Over time, his journey at YCM became much more enriching than he initially expected. While honing his English, he also explored other valuable skills like computer literacy, photography, and entrepreneurship, aligning with his broader interests and aspirations. Balancing his focus on learning, he made time for his passion for exercising, maintaining a well-rounded approach to personal development.
One of the most memorable aspects of Dery’s experience at YCM was the friendship he built with his friends. The connections and shared experiences created a supportive and enjoyable environment that greatly impacted his personal growth. Through consistent effort and participation, Dery not only gained knowledge but also cherished moments of teamwork and collaboration that shaped his outlook.
Today, Dery has transitioned from being a student to becoming an active tutor at YCM. He is passionate about sharing the knowledge and skills he has acquired with others, ensuring that the benefits he experienced can reach more individuals. Looking ahead, Dery hopes to continue contributing beyond YCM and dreams of seeing YCM thrive as a pillar of support for teenagers in Bogor, providing them with opportunities for growth and empowerment.
