check introduction of personal statement

Hello,

I know how the very beginning is important and feel that I don't have the right mastery for being concise and sounding natural. Please help me out!

We should love the world we live in, its constant flux and infinite variety. It serves as an inexhaustible source of strength in overcoming any obstacle. In retrospect, no one ever answered my questions. Filled with curiosity I became a precocious reader able to concentrate and deliberate upon a matter. Finally, the mysteries were being unraveled. This instilled in me self-reliance as well as the character of a winner. Taking such attitude as a twelfth-grader I have achieved desired academic results in . Therefore I am applying to best European universities.

What do you think in general, what impression it gives? I hope not negative.
