Get To Know Me! 🐇
"He is exactly the poem I wanted to write." - Mary Oliver.
Well, no one thinks of me that way, so I’ll just write about myself. I’m a guy in my 20s who’s getting a year older on January 13 . My MBTI keeps changing—INFJ/INFP/ESFP, you name it. A big fan of all things meaty and milky, but I can’t handle spicy food and tend to overthink everything. My name is Abdullah Hanif Al Azzam, but just call me Hanif. I’m a final-year student majoring in Physics Education at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Oh, and I recently joined the SEATEACHER program in NEUST, the Philippines. It’s probably one of the best experiences I’ve had so far, and I’ll try to share the highlights!
