Please help me with my essay. I know it is too long :( Thank you so much.
Please write a statement of not more than 300 words explaining why you are interested in attending a United World College, describing both what you might contribute to the College and what you would hope to gain from your experience there.
Since I was a child, 'International relations' has become my dream career. Like most people I know, I want to see the world with my own eyes, experience different cultures, meet people from different backgrounds, etc. I realized my passion lied in helping other people and also myself understand different cultures around the world and introducing mine to other people. But when I shared this dream with friends, they always laughed me and said the same thing: "You can't." In their eyes, I exactly is 'uncommon'.
I was introduced to the UWC's website by an interview about Nguyen Tram Anh, a student at UWC Pearson College, and like it instantly. Perhaps it was the common "uncommonness" that drew us together. As I got to know more about it, I became more convinced that it was the place for me. UWC is often described as tough, demanding but infinitely rewarding for those with a zest for international relations. It has welcomed students from all over the world and provided them with numerous opportunities to grow and achieve a more peaceful and sustainable future.
However, what puts UWC above all others for me is its commitment to promoting students' personal development and social awareness. I have spent hours listening to Vietnamese students talk about their experiences at UWC. We would have a good laugh and the conversation always ends with "Hey dreamer, seriously, it's the best place to learn. You cannot ask for a better school to follow your dream". I would smile at that confirmation of something I have known all along.
At the age of seventeen, I finally know what I want to do with my future. I want UWC to be my next destination for a longer journey - the pursuit of higher education. Such a friendly, diverse and intellectually stimulating school would be the best environment to fulfill my dream of connecting people around the world.
Most importantly, I wish that no matter where I go, every person I meet would feel the real Vietnam with a strong and fast-developing economy as well as beautiful cultures and traditional values. My dream, clearer than ever before, is that from every dish I make, every words I say, every action I carry out, smiles will bright up on people' faces whenever someone told about Vietnam.
