However, there were really distressing news when students were hostile each other because of different origins, being involved in drugs and promiscuity, being drop out student and even dying in vain because ‘alcoholic mixed-drug abuse, committing suicide by doing self-hanging or murder.
The facilitator reminded that the strongest motivation is an inner passion which consciously does an action with a specific purpose that encourages him/her to do something to reach a desired purpose and finally satisfied by the action. Furthermore, participants were invited to recall message or mission before they went to Yogyakarta, then they were asked to make a reflection of the message and to write it as personal motivation and finally they shared it in groups.

The facilitator provided an opportunity to Agustinus Soleh, a student of a Village Governance Academy, coming from Long Alango, a rural area of North Borneo to share his struggle to go to Yogyakarta to study. From his village in Long Alango, he had to fight for three or four days by boat across swift and rocky river towards Tarakan, then he continued his travel by plane from Tarakan to Yogyakarta.
