x I am grateful to thank all friends in PBI for all great shared moments
during my study. Special thanks are given to Mira, Dewi, and Hana for memorable friendship, MOSS group especially Festy and Kenyar, for giving such
a combination of mutual friendship and partnership experiences. I also express my thankfulness to “Everyday is Sunday” crew, and respectable people in KBI for
giving me such an experience about teamwork and working world. I specially thank Yessiko Yolanda Dwipunopanen, S.T., for being the
apple of my eye and the biggest motivation to finish this work sooner. I am indebted to have such a partner who has given me not only support,
understanding, and encouragement but also quarrels and hesitancy. I thank him for making me struggle and believe that something difficult is not impossible to
conquer. Without him, I might not have the strength to pass my difficult times. I also thank my boarding house friends, mbak Nana “Cimot”, Intan
“Chorz”, and Rintan “Jimhin”, to be my companions in my daily routine and shoulders to cry on. I shall always miss every chat and cheerful moment we have
shared together. Finally, I would like also to show my sincere appreciation and thankfulness
to everyone who has been involved in my effort to finish my work. At last, I realize that this research still has many weaknesses. So, I will openly receive any
suggestions and criticisms to improve this thesis. Hopefully, this research can be useful for all the readers who are involved in the educational field.
