Hi guys, I'm new here. I'm applying for an international school and I had to write an essay covering following topics: Why I want an international school education, My accomplishments, And ways in which I can contribute to the school socially, academically and after school programs. I had no idea what to write but I just tried something. It would be awesome if you could give me some feedback or ideas what to write. My English isn't really that good so I can imagine there could be a number of mistakes so if you could point some out that would be great too. I also don't know if it's long enough/too long. I should submit it until thursday.
Here it goes:
The reason why am I applying for scholarship in Name is that obtaining an international education can have amazing positive effects on my future, but also studying at an international school itself can be a great experience as I can study in foreign language with students from different nationalities and backgrounds which can really expand my horizons. The main reason why I want an international education is that I love to travel, and not just for the holidays. In my life I would like to live in various countries and experience different cultures and I think that attending an international school is a great start. With international education I have much greater possibilities to learn and achieve high quality education. I can continue my studies abroad where not only I can get much higher quality education, but also great opportunity to learn new habits of a country or perhaps master a new language.
In my short life I've had quite a few accomplishments. Certainly the most useful accomplishment was, of course, learning English which can I now speak fluently. Even though it's not the biggest accomplishment and it wasn't even hardest one to achieve, not knowing English language would limit me in a ways I can't possibly imagine. Even though I permanently live in Country, I use my English every day and I have plenty of English speaking friends.
One of the accomplishments I'm most proud of was successfully creating and managing my online shop. It took me a couple of months to get everything started and I had to create the whole webpage, find the supplier, start advertisement and much more. Even though some moments were very frustrating and difficult to manage, it was a fascinating experience for me as it gave me an inside of running my own business and communicating with people (both customers and suppliers) on a professional level and I believe that it significantly helped me decide what I want to do in the future.
Another thing I would like to mention is my decision to spent half a year abroad in Australia where I'm currently staying. Even though it was a tough decision, I'm really happy that I've done it as it is probably one of my best life experiences I've ever had. It was hard to adjust to foreign environment at first but now I really enjoy it and it ensured me that in the future I would like to continue living in different places and countries and I hope that SchoolName can help me with that.
At SchoolName, I'm planning to learn as much as I can to achieve high academical knowledge so that I can successfully continue my studies but also to represent my school. As much as I understand that school's main purpose is to teach, it's still the place where you spent most of your time and important part of students' social lives. School is what you make it and that's why I would like to contribute to making a better atmosphere in school and nice and positive environment. I'm looking forward to participating in or even helping to accomplish interesting after school activities and I would also be willing to gladly participate in volunteering and other activities that would help to contribute a school community.
