&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Before I start I would like to begin with a brief introduction of myself. My name is *** ***, Iâm 22 years old and currently live in ***. I was born in *** but I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 16 years of my life now. I recently graduated in ICT in Business in September 2006 from the University of INHolland in The Hague. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;During the last four years at INHolland my studies mainly focused on bridging &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;the&lt;/FONT&gt; gap &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;between&amp;nbsp;business&lt;/FONT&gt; and ICT. Successful ICT implementation is becoming more and more crucial for a &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;company's&lt;/FONT&gt; performance. The role of the manager is changing. To implement a successful ICT solution a manager must not only have knowledge of the business side, but also be able to communicate the business needs to the ICT &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;department&lt;/FONT&gt;. Last year, while I was writing my thesis,&lt;EM&gt; I had the opportunity of being a researcher with&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;a &lt;/FONT&gt;main focus on usability research. I &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;got first-hand&lt;/FONT&gt; experience of the usability issues of todayâs Content Management Systems. &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;(I have developed a passion for research, especially in bridging the gaps between business and ICT - this is repetitious. Rephrase or delete)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;During this period I also got acquainted with several students from the &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;University&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; of &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Leiden&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; who were also working on their thesis. Here I met with *** ***, a foreign student from &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;China&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; who was finishing his Masterâs Degree in ICT in Business. To assist my academic planning I seized the opportunity to speak with these &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;students&lt;/FONT&gt; from Leiden University, and was able to get answers from a studentâs point of view. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have learned that &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;the &lt;/FONT&gt;University of Leiden is the oldest and one of the best universities, with students from different backgrounds, in the Netherlands. Globalization is one of the most important issues of the day. The Leiden University can provide me &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;with &lt;/FONT&gt;a good base to pursue an international career by working with students from different backgrounds.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I was the first student from &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;INHolland&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;University&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; in &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The Hague&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; to graduate in ICT in Business. I always knew that my ambition was to continue my academic planning and finish my Masterâs Degree. Having researched and spoken to students Iâm very excited by my decision to continue my education. With a solid foundation in academic theory on ICT in Business through the Masterâs Degree program in ICT in Business at &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;University&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt; of &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Leiden&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;, I am confident that I will have the skills and knowledge to pursue my career as a manager with both ICT and Business &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;know-how&lt;/FONT&gt;.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Pls read help for grammar or spelling mistakes</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReadGrammarSpellingMistakes/djbgw/post.htm#295179</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Nov 2006 15:31:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:295179</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReadGrammarSpellingMistakes/djbgw/post.htm#295179</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-295179.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Can Someone pls take a look at this motivational letter &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;kind regards&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ash&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pls read help for grammar or spelling mistakes</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReadGrammarSpellingMistakes/djrjw/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Nov 2006 21:41:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:294941</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReadGrammarSpellingMistakes/djrjw/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-294941.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I must write a letter for a university and this is what I managed to make after research on your website.
