“Always plan what you want to do, focus on achieving it, and do your best.”

Tri Sangga Prestiani, or familiarly called Sangga, is a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Accounting FEB UNAIR. The woman who was born on September 15, 1998 in Trenggalek, has succeeded in notching various achievements that led her to be named the Best Graduate of FEB for the September 2021 period. Armed with a well-thought-out plan, Tri Sangga is currently focused on work, she was successfully accepted to work at PT. Nusantara Sakti Group as Head of HMC Post, her job is to supervise sales who work in the field and is responsible for the performance of sales whose job is to market products, namely Honda brand motorcycles. Despite having a fairly good position at work, Tri Sangga has a desire to continue studying to the master's level. However, due to the lack of a scholarship, she chose to work first to save money to continue her studies.

After spending his days as a Bachelor of Accounting student at FEB UNAIR, Tri Sangga feels that the most memorable thing for him is the sense of camaraderie in his class. Starting from the CNA activity at the beginning of the lecture to the TAWA event that concluded Tri Sangga's long journey as a student, everything succeeded in fostering a close sense of family and making Tri Sangga's study world in Accounting even more memorable. In addition to feeling the meaning of family in college, Tri Sangga also felt the struggle that brought him to this moment where he finally succeeded in achieving the title of Best Graduate of FEB UNAIR 2021. According to him, what brought him to this position was circumstances. Tri Sangga came from a simple family, he studied Accounting at Unair also with a Bidikmisi scholarship. At the beginning of college, precisely in the second semester, Tri Sangga's father passed away due to a stroke. This increased his motivation to always do the best, with all his strength and mind. In his environment, many people also looked down on him, from Tri Sangga in junior high school until he studied at Unair. This is precisely what makes Tri Sangga never give up in doing his best.

It was not easy to be crowned the Best Graduate of FEB UNAIR, it was truly an extraordinary struggle. According to Tri Sangga, the title of Best Graduate he received was something unexpected for him. This was because he felt that his abilities were not sufficient to be the best graduate and many of his friends were better than him. For him, all he had was high enthusiasm, hard work, and never giving up, especially in terms of balancing academic and non-academic activities, because during his time in college he was also active in the Student Activity Unit (UKM), namely the Dance and Karawitan Activity Unit (UKTK). Tri Sangga also did not have the ambition to be the best graduate, he only did his best and put all his abilities to get the maximum GPA. He also never repeated courses to demand a perfect GPA.

In addition to being the Best Graduate of FEB UNAIR, Tri Sangga has other achievements, such as participating in national activities, the 2019 Tlatah Bocah Festival, because he tends to be active in non-academic organizations, namely UKTK Unair. During his time at UKTK he often performed at national level events, besides that he was also a participant in the national level Tembang Mocopat competition at UNS. During his time at UKTK, UKTK won 1st place in a dance competition at Brawijaya University. Tri Sangga has been pursuing karawitan since elementary school. His first motivation is a hobby, secondly he really loves native culture, it does not mean he does not love other cultures, but this is his effort to preserve one of the nation's cultures. In addition, for him pursuing the world of music is a part of his life, and can be a self-healing when he is tired in the academic field.

Before parting ways and flying higher, Tri Sangga gave a message to his fellow students: always plan what you want to do, focus on achieving it, and do your best. Don't set too many targets, but always be serious in every positive activity, so that failures won't be so painful, and achieving your goals will be a source of happiness. Don't limit your social circle, but strive to uphold your principles in life. Even though Tri Sangga is an accounting student, he also makes friends with various groups, such as artists, field workers, students, and even people much older than him. He also does this to network , because he doesn't know who will help later when difficulties arise. Don't let hobbies or other activities outside of academics be a barrier to learning. As a student, academic activities must be number one, without neglecting social activities outside of academics.

This woman, who enjoys listening to music and traveling, aspires to become a lecturer, but still wants to expand her connections and experience in industry or through practice. Tri Sangga's strategy for achieving her goals is hard work, passion, prayer, and trust in God. Hard work begins with entering the industry, working for a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) or privately-owned enterprise (BUMS) in Indonesia. Tri Sangga believes that by doing so, her knowledge will be more complete, not only theoretical but also practical (BLQ)
