Scholarship / Is this a good motivation letter? [2]
I am applying for a scholarship and they need a motivation letter to tell them why I should go. I would really appreciate it if you gave me a little of your time to read it and tell me what you think of it :)
* If you find any mistakes please tell me :)
Dear Madam, Sir,
"Know what you want, work to get it, then value it once you have It." one of the best proverbs I follow to achieve my goals and ambitions, starting from my early teenage. Ever since I was a student in high school, the major of study I wanted to take after high school was clear to me. Many difficulties faced me, but I could overcome all to achieve my dream in studying the major I want, Computer Engineering; I am very passionate about programming, mathematics and any computer related stuff.
I live in Jordan and I graduated from high school with an average of 95.3 percent. In Jordan, it is well common that the higher the student's average is, the more probability that he/she chooses the faculty that requires high averages in high school, usually regardless what the student's dream is. According to my average and this tradition, I was supposed to get into the major with the highest average, medicine. Yet I chose to get into the faculty of Engineering, ignoring all criticisms and oppositions I received.
I would like it if you gave me the chance to spend the next semester at University of Minho in Portugal. I am applying for this program for many reasons; firstly, it will be a great opportunity for me to learn new programming languages, improve my mathematical skills and learn more and more about computers. Moreover, it will mean a lot to me and my future career prospective.
Nevertheless, it will give me the chance to improve myself and probably learn a new language. I also enjoy meeting new people and learning more about different cultures.
It would be an honor for me to be accepted in Erasmus Mundus program and I honestly hope to get this chance to study abroad because of its many advantages.
Sincerely,
Natali
