Research Papers / My Letter of Motivation for ESB Business School Reutlingen [5]

Hey Everyone,
I found this forum today when i was looking for help with my letter of motivation.
The deadline is the 17th May, yeah pretty soon i know :P
I just wrote what came into my mind and post it here now
Since it's my first application essay (or anyway my first essay ever), I hope you can help me in both grammar and content.
Thanks so far ;)

Here is the essay:

Dear Sir or Madam:

I hereby wish to express my interest for a place in the Bachelor of Science program in International Business.

Born and raised in Beijing, China, I was already fascinated by the rapidly growing skyscrapers at that time. When we then moved to an industrial nation like Germany, I lost my last doubts about the power of economy. It quickly became clear that I also want to work in this area one day.

My second large interests are languages, meeting new people and visiting different places around the world.
As I discovered a flyer of International Business at that time, a major which unites both of my preferences, I was absolutely sure about my future plans.

For that purpose, I decided to choose English and economy as my advanced courses and could already acquire the basics of Finance, Investment and Consulting.

In addition to my fluent English, I of course master German and Chinese as mother tongue perfectly and have good skills in French.
Currently I am living in Heroldsberg, Germany, where I just finished my A-level at Gymnasium Eckental, which is a Bavarian high school with high reputation.

In consideration of my future career I intend to achieve the Bachelor of Science, followed by the Master of Science in International Business. It is my aim to work in an international company and to improve the collaboration of important industrial nations.

There are two specific reasons why I prefer Reutlingen University in comparison to others. First, I want to receive a high-quality degree at one of the leading German Universities within the scope of International Business. Second, the Internationality of your program really appeals to me. I'm excited about the multinational students and looking forward to the international semester at one of your many partner universities.

Grown up in two different countries teaches me the best of both worlds.
With the Chinese diligence and ambition and the German accuracy I'm very confident to master this study.
Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
