Personal Narrative


My name is Tiftiany Octavia. I was born in Tangerang on October 23rd, 1997. I am 19 years old. I was graduated from Yuppentek 1 Senior High School. Almost everyone and my friends call me “ Tipaw”, it is my nickname since Junior High School that was given by my friend. Ti means Tiftiany (my first name) and Paw means Bakpaw (steamed bun), my friend give the name Tipaw because they said that my cheeks like steamed bun. Starting from Junior and Senior high school, until now I’m a college student my nickname still available. But, some people call me “ Via “.


My hobby is listening to music, I like Pop and Jazz music, one of my favorite Jazz singers in Indonesia is Tulus. I don’t know why I could really like Tulus so much, since he released his first album in 2011. Every songs and lyrics that he created are very easy listening and very touching, one of his advantages is the Indonesian language that he made in the lyrics of the song is very good, although, sometimes it sounds strange to me but I still like to enjoy it again and again. I have three albums of Tulus, first in 2011 called “TULUS”, second in 2014 called “GAJAH”, and the last one in 2016 called “MONOKROM”.


After I graduate from Bina Nusantara University as an English Literature scholar, I want to work in a good company and a comfortable, good environment and salary. I think a good company will give me a better career path, and usually will provide good professional development, companies that discipline in time there is no pressure work piling up. If I work later after graduation, I want a company that I live to work was convenient, I don’t want to work in my office if the environment does not support, for example, can be anything that causes it, could be due to a coworker, boss of my own or even a job itself that makes me uncomfortable there.
