The results of the potential measurement test showed that students' motivation and fighting power were in the range slightly above average. This shows that students' motivation and fighting power are not yet strong as capital to compete and face challenges when studying. Therefore, students' enthusiasm and motivation need to be improved, and reminded continuously that motivation is an important factor for someone to achieve their dreams. This activity also supports efforts to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), namely SDG1: No Poverty, SDG4: Quality Education, and SDG10: Reduced Inequalities.
