hey guys!!
i'm just working on applications for universities and i'm starting to feel desperate with all those motivation letters and stuff...
i hope one of you can help me with this one and tell me if i made too many mistakes. ;)
thanks a lot!!!
Honestly, I still did not
know exactly what I wanted to study, when I was almost done with school. On one
hand I was interested in the regular German program of Business Studies (BWL) but on the other hand
this idea also did not convince me a hundred percent.
For that reason I decided to
go abroad to gain some international experiences and to develop my personality.
That way, I realized how important it is for me, to learn about other cultures,
their countries and to be able to communicate, without difficulties, in other
languages. As a part of the Aupair-Program where you live and work in an
American family environment, you also get to meet and make friends with people
from other contries all over the world. I can proudly admit, that those 13
months in the US did not only help me to improve my English language skills a
lot, but rather to broaden my horizon in so many ways and to build up my
personality and self-confidence.
During this time I also did
a lot of research concerning the different study courses and I was immediately
convinced by the program “International Business”, that combines Business
Studies with an international aspect.
For the fact that
being able to speak more than one foreign language fluently is one of my
long-lasting aims, I organized a stay abroad in Spain for a total of more than
3 months. In this time I also attended an intensive course in a Spanish Academy
and managed to finish this course with 92% in a B1+-level-test. To learn even
more about the language, the culture and country I will be going to Spain again
in the end of May 2008, for a period of at least 5 weeks.
I want to study
International Business because I do not want to limit my studies
to the German economic area but to prepare myself for the international market,
to learn and understand economics but to also become a part of it. The chance
to study in classes only up to 50 people where the course instructions are a
100% in English, is a big motivation for me and I am looking forward to give
proof of my ambition, willingness to perform, learning aptitude and team
spirit.
