Hello, I'm entering for UWC Schoolarship trhough the Burkina Faso national comitee. I world appreciate if you could review my essayé. Here's the subject : (In English) Explain why you want to attend a UWC School, what you might contribute in relation to the UWC's mission and values, and what you would hope to gain from the experience?
I had the chance to do the last four years of primary school in a school were diversity was present and most importantly celebrated through nationality parties, this has impacted me in many ways and is an essential factor to explain my attraction towards the UWC movement. I want to join a UWC school mainly because I want to learn and mature more in an environment where cultural diversity is celebrated, a place where I'll be able to satisfy my thirst to discover other cultures. Moreover I want to have the global education the international baccalaureate and UWC offer while being surrounded by other teenagers who like me are willing to take a stand and be actors of their environment.
The UWC movement has values and a mission I would like to live by. In order to contribute to the UWC community, I believe I have the requisite characteristics, like open mindness and sociability, that would help make my time in college productive. UWC is about growing up and learning about the other that's why I'll gladly share what I know of my culture.I am a people person and don't think twice before helping others when it's possible,I am particularly excited to contribute to various social services something I can't do here although there are many opportunities. Lastly being a good listener I wish to be someone my peers could seek help from when needed during those challenging two years.
From the experience ,I hope to achieve a deeper level of understanding so that I can become globally engaged. I hope to acquire the skills I'll need to enter adulthood well prepared but also to be heard and take position to act so I'll be able to make things move in my country and other under developed countries.
