Letter of Motivation for a Youth Mobility Visa in Cologne, Germany
Hi forum,
I'm applying for a 12-month Youth Mobility Visa for Germany, and I'm having a lot of trouble writing my letter of motivation.
Basically, the visa allows you to live in Germany for a year to explore the culture and do tourism, etc, and work to support yourself if you'd like to. I really want to find a job but I'm not sure if I will. My appointment for my Visa's interview is on September 28th and I want to make sure my letter of motivation is strong.
I want to move to Germany for a year to experience the culture, and learn the language. I know it's a budding business-driven country and since my interests lie in both the arts and the business world, and primarily the combining of the two, I feel as though it would be hugely beneficial for me to immerse myself in a culture that so strongly values both.
Having gone to school for theatre and the arts, I have become very familiar and a huge admirer of the Grimm's Fairy Tales and Krampus. I find that German folklore, especially that aimed at Children, has a certain charm to it that I'd like to explore. My forte is in Horror Films and Haunts, and I'd like to include Krampus in one in particular. I believe living here will futher my education of these tales better than any other experience possibly could.
Although it would be easier for me to get around and make friends in and English-Speaking country, at this point in my life I feel as though the life experience offered by making my way in a place far different than what I am used to would allow me to develop my skills to interact with a wider range of people, i.e. future business contacts and friends, and also allow me to flex my language skills which are currently not used nearly enough.
Lastly, my family is European, primarily Dutch and German, and of course that fuels my interest in the culture and history of both Germany and the Netherlands. I have chosen Germany, however, because of the art, the history, and the fact that all the people from Germany I have met throughout the years have made me feel as though I'd be very welcome there. Additionally, I speak little German and know that I'd have an easier time learning a language in a country where I can ask questions in my own language.
I will be living with a friend I made while he was on an exchange here. I believe this connection will help me to really discover how people live in Germany, and not just remain a tourist for my stay which I find highly preferable. If one is to live in another country, one must attempt to assimilate to truly discover.
Any and all tips are welcome! Am I being too vague? Does anyone have any formatting help? Are there words I should avoid or include?
