Jessi (19) was born in Ambon, Maluku, on October 1, 2000. Her father is a construction worker, while her mother is a housewife. Her father earns around 1,500,000 IDR/month. When she was a high school student, she often looked for side jobs to pay for her school fees since her father’s income was not sufficient to cover both Jessi and her brother’s school fees. She once worked as a singer in a café with an estimated income of 400,000 IDR/month. Due to her family’s financial situation, she could not continue her studies at a higher level. One day, her neighbor told her about Bali WISE program. The news excited her but also worried her at the same time since the cost of traveling to Bali is at her expense. Nevertheless, she kept motivating herself and tried various jobs to earn money to be able to come and join Bali WISE program. She dreams of working as a chef in one of the five-star hotels in Indonesia and continuing her education to a higher level.
