Graduate / Letter of Motivation - program in Management / social sciences, law and business [7]
I've written it in a bit different way with another beginning. Could you tell me something about it?
When I was 6 years old, my mother wanted me to enter a music school. I told her I don't want to. Four years had passed, my music taste had been developed from pop to Metallica, and I realised I want to play guitar. I started saving money, whilst watching tons of concerts and lessons on YouTube and soon I managed to buy my first ever guitar. Of course it was a bad and cheap one, but I completely fell in love with its red color, C-shaped body and 24 frets. No one has ever teached me how to play, I have learned everything on my own: I listened to a composition - wanted to play it - learned how to play it until I'm perfect. Now I can perform almost every single Metallica song.
As you can see, music is one of my biggest passions. Management is another thing which I've always been excited about. Different events like "UN general assembly" took place, and one could often see me among the participants. During my last couple of years at high school I was required to choose a university to apply to after graduation. Since I wanted to work in a big multinational corporation or even start my own business, and instead of Maths, Chemistry or Physics I enjoyed Sociology and History, I decided to enter Management department at Plekhanov Economics Academy.
Though I was not sure whether I had made the right choice, after more than two years of studying I can undoubtedly state that I'm completely satisfied with my education here. And now there is a possibility to study abroad - my dream comes true! There is hardly a single European capital I haven't visited, so when I saw the list of programs I could apply to, there was one word that immediately catched up my attention: Austria. This country is my all-time favourite. What I like the most is the fact that the country is very variegated. People are friendly and polite with a good sense of humour, so there wouldn't be any problems for me to socialise. Since there are many international students of various nations studying there, it will be a golden opportumity for me to learn about different cultures. Among many Austrian universities, I am strongly impressed by Vienna University of Economics and Business University due to being the largest social sciences, law and business university in Europe. During their program for international students I will have many opportunities to discover European style of management and to obtain a well-founded education related to business administration.
Obviously, my primary target is to develop my managerial and business skills theoretically and practically, which may increase my chances to get a better job in the future. Secondary. the unique experience of foreign education will definitely improve my knowledge of English, especially speaking and writing skills. Moreover, I think it would be so fun trying to teach the students some Russian words, and hopefully I could learn a bit of German as well.
However, it might sound dishonest if I say that education is the one and only reason to go to Austria. Of course there are plenty of other things which I'm really looking forward to. I aim to establish a network with many international students in order to stay in touch, help each other and probably have a possibility to work together in future. Furthermore, I will make new friends and spend (have?) a great time during my academic and extracurricular activities. What's more, I'm fond of travelling and suppose I could visit some other EU's countries if I had a chance.
