Furthermore, she has several other best feats under her belt, including her dedication to training and her remarkable teamwork skills. The support given by her coaches and teammates truly motivated her to unleash her latent ability.

The essential aspect leading me to achieve this title is the support given by my coaches and teammates, which could boost my confidence in the competition,” Arneta, born on May 1st, 2002, explained.

During her interview at the Udinus Sports Center (USC), Arneta expressed her joy and pride for earning a scholarship. According to her, the appreciation in a form of scholarship could essentially help Indonesian athletes.

Arneta further stated that non-academic knowledge balanced with academic knowledge would later come to fruition. To garner this academic knowledge, Arneta is committed to continue her studies in the Department of Management at Udinus.

“I could not express my gratitude to Udinus enough for appreciating our talents, hopefully, we could make a name for this campus at the upcoming Proliga. Not only that, but Udinus also provided us and other Indonesian athletes opportunities to continue our studies and live our lives as college students,” Arneta uttered.
