My UWC (2022-2024) application essay

I am going to apply for UWC 2022-2024. Here is an essay I wrote as my personal statement. Please review this and feel free to show the mistakes I've done.

A personal statement (within 300 words) explaining why you are interested in attending a UWC school/college and reflecting on UWC's mission and values, what you might contribute to the school/college and what you would hope to gain from the experience.

Since reading books is one of my favourite leisure activities, I could learn only a little of the increasingly diverse and multicultural world through books. That little learning made me more curious to know about this diverse world and various cultures, which I think I'll be able to learn from people who will come to UWC from different cultural backgrounds. Also, UWC's mission made me realize that education is still a way to gather real knowledge and bring good changes in the world, rather than making it a route to get a good job or salary. Because of the thrill of getting out of my comfort zone, breaking down barriers I had and discovering the world from a different perspective, I'm interested in UWC.

From childhood, I have been deeply concerned about social issues and how I can bring changes in the world. I read a lot about social issues, so I think I'll be able to raise awareness of global issues and make changes in the world along with other students. Besides, as I have the experience of teaching some people with different backgrounds, I have the skills to take students from different backgrounds and bring them together.

I have goals on which I would like to work on such as, the food and the education system. As UWC inspires students to work on their passion and offer so many recourses, I think this will help me to achieve my goal. In addition, I will gain experience like dealing with people from different backgrounds and skills like how to make a difference, leadership, public discourse from UWC. These skills and experiences will assist me in achieving my goal. I also hope that I will be able to reflect the knowledge I will get from UWC in my country.
