Motivation Letter for University- needed help :-)

0 Hello, I have to write a letter of motivation to study one semester abroad. Would be so nice if someone could read through it.02br
02br
00Dear Sir or Madam,02br
02br
00I am writing to apply for a semester abroad at xxxUniversity at xxx. 02br
02br
00Currently, I am a second year student studying xxx at the xxx in xxx, Germany. I have been always interested in other cultures and for that I also took part on several exchange programs offered by my High School. I also have been to the xxx High School, Virginia, but only for three weeks. This experience gave me the opportunity to get to know other students and the way of living in the US. Now I would like to stay in the US for a little longer.02br
02br
00For this reason I have decided to spend one semester at the partner university, xxx, a reputable university in the United States. From a number of experience reports as well as personal discussions with former exchange students, I have learned that xxx at xxx combines an excellent academic program with the reputation of providing an open and enjoyable environment to its international students. 02br
02br
00I believe that this combination would make a semester at xxx a very rewarding experience for me both from a professional as well as a personal point of view. The course offering at the Department of Business and Administration would allow me to customize a unique program around my interests in business and information systems. Through classes that are not offered in Germany, like Business Communication and Personnel and Human Resources Management, I could further broaden my knowledge in the respective areas. Learning from experienced lecturers and a diverse student body and personally contributing to the quality of these lectures and discussions presents an exceptional challenge to me.02br
02br
00Working together with students from all over the US as well as from many other nations will also give me possibility to enhance my understanding of foreign cultures as well as different viewpoints and attitudes. SIUC enjoys an excellent reputation with regards to the integration of its international students, starting with the orientation week organized by the Office of International Students and Scholars. My work as a member of the student consulting group in xxx provided me with a wealth of experiences and a great interest in working together with and getting to know other people. I am therefore excited to be part of the campus life at xxx. At the same time, I am convinced that based on my experiences and my open-minded personality, I will be able to make a valuable contribution to its diversity and its internationality.02br
02br
00A semester at xxx would also be an important pillar in my career plans. As I am considering to add an internship near xxx I am eager to perfect my English language skill and gain more first-hand international experience. 02br
02br
00For all the reasons stated above, I believe that a semester at xxx would be a very rewarding and exciting experience of great personal and professional benefit. Based on my own background, my previous experience and, above all, great eagerness to learn and further develop my personality, I am convinced that I could greatly contribute to its student body and the university itself. I would therefore be very pleased to be accepted for an exchange semester at xxx. 02br
