Help! Motivationletter

Hello, I wrote a motivationletter for university and I'm not whether it's alright. Does anyone have any suggestions or corrections? Thank you!

Dear Sir or Madam,

Ever since having seen a beggar in Amsterdam at the age of seven and being confused by the reasons that led to this person living on the streets, I have been interested in understanding and solving complex problems. Because of my curiosity about worldwide problems, I would like to apply for the bachelor *** at ***

My name is **, I am ** old and I am currently in my last year of secondary school at *** in ***. In May I will graduate with a Culture and Society school profile. Throughout the past six years, I have been very involved in language courses. I completed the first three years of secondary school in the bilingual department, for which I received the Junior Certificate. I also obtained a Cum Laude certificate for the language subjects after finishing the fourth year with an 8.0 average. Because French is my mother tongue, I have tutored students who had difficulty with the subject. It is important for me to help people who are struggling with something that I know how to manage. In addition to my interest in languages, I like to participate in school activities. I have been part of the theatre group at *** for four years, and I have taken part in the annual talent show at my school three times. While doing this, I have had to negotiate and go along with other people. As a result of growing up in a multicultural environment - my mother is French and my father is Zambian - I understand how different cultures can comply with one another. (I want to address this more, but I am not sure how)

From a young age, I knew that I wanted to follow a social studies study program, specifically one on an international level. Having obtained a few leaflets of studies at *** at a university fair organised by my secondary school, I was immediately thrilled to find out about ***. I visited *** twice. During the student-for-a-day program, I met a few of its students, who explained what the study program encompasses. The broad curriculum they described, as well as the eloquently spoken presentation about sex-trafficking in Southeast Asia, and the enthusiasm of the students convinced me that this study was exactly what I had been looking for.

I have decided to apply for this internationally based study programme, because *** offers insights into social and organisational topics, whilst explaining how complex problems are structured and how they should be dealt with, on an interdisciplinary level. The skills I will acquire during courses such as Wicked Problems 101 and Organisational Development will allow me to regard issues from a perspective where I can easily adjust myself to the challenge, and handle it efficiently. Another course, Introduction to International Law, will grant me a different way to address contemporary issues, which are almost always linked to global law. It is important for me to study in an international environment, as I want to play a role in a world that will only continue to globalise as time goes on.

After graduating from ***, I would like to work in a government related position. Here, I can use the expertise I attained during the study program by analysing challenges apparent in society and using different approaches to solve them.

I would enrich the program by letting fellow students and professors benefit from my international insights and ambition to collaborate. Perhaps, we could find a way to give the beggar a home. I hope to contribute my efforts to your university and become a worthy member of your team.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and time,

My name
