Motivation letter, input please.

This is my first draft and I know I need to spend a few more hours perfecting it. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me some pointers, help me in my goal achieving this.

Thank you in advance.

This letter is an announcement that I'm applying for the bachelor programme (XXX.XX), starting february 2016.

I was one of those persons who never really knew what i wanted to become when I ’grew up’ and rushing in to higher studies was not an alternative. So I decided to get work experience, let life have its course and with time try to figure out what I would want to study. My work path has always been about customer service, delivering a good presentation and please the crowd. It all started with taxi service, answering the phone to reserve a taxi, solve issues and answering questions, always giving a good service over the phone to the customer. Happy customer is a returning customer. My career moved on to a event & catering business, with very diverse tasks such as, host during team building exercise, waiter, segway instructor, planning,building,working during and dismantle different kinds of events. Later I got a job at Radisson blu in xxxx as a conference pre parer and host. Always delivering an excellent service to the guest and executing instructions with quality and a smile. Typical day could be arranging several rooms according to the customers request and help during their set up, technical issues or other questions. Serve beverage and food, when the conference was over I cleaned and removed everything so it would be ready for the next meeting. When the hours decreased due to bad economy I saw my chance and travelled to Australia to expand and increase my knowledge, life and work experience. Started bar tending at a spanish flamenco restaurant. It has increased my product knowledge regarding spirits,wines and cocktails. culture experience and a little bit of spanish.?

When thinking back I saw a pattern with my work choices, that giving a good service to people and making them pleased was a big joy for me. I thrive around people and want to develop myself and my knowledge, to be able to take the next step in my life, get greater responsibility and manage a team. A quality education at your school is the key to my still unwritten future. ?

What makes me want to study at XXXX is several things. The way the programme is structured with the ability to get practical experience and theoretical education is very appealing and a perfect way to get a bigger understanding of how different sections at a hotel works. Internship is a great opportunity to practice the newly learnt skills and build a international network and see how it works in different countries with another culture. A small school with a family like feeling and motivated students is a place where I want to study and an atmosphere I want to be in. As a person who don't have a swiss bank account, the fact that its such a highly rated education for a very reasonable tuition fee is very appealing. Honestly after reading the brochure, watched all the youtube videos, checked Instagram and went through the whole webpage I get a feeling that this is where I want to be, this is the school I want to spend my coming years. I’ve been to the Netherlands a couple of times on vacation in different towns and cities and I really enjoy the country as a whole. The multi culture, the citizen, amazing architecture and good work ethic. The fact that the school is in Netherlands is a big plus.

When I have some spare time I like to explore my surroundings in different ways, I enjoy finding things that opens my mind and eyes which gives me a pleasant experience. Everything from trying new restaurants with friends, new activities or a stroll around town. photography is a new found hobby that I really like, when I find an opportunity i will most likely have my camera with me and try to capture some amazing photos and memories. Buildings, street art and night time photos is my favorite objects at the moment. Healthy lifestyle is something I find very important, like to challenge myself doing health and delicious cousins. Every other day i am at the gym to improve my body shape and clear my mind, it is my ”runaway place”.

END.

And a proper goodbye.

I know I cant have the "swiss bank" bit, and some other things, its a first draft. But overall, how is the grammar,structure,spelling? Anything else?

Thank you very much for helping.
