Motivation to German University

Good evening!
Could anyone give me some advice on my motivation letter please, as i have a dedline soon and cant make it sound interesting enaugh?

Thank you very much!

I am currently a full time forth-year student in one of the best economic universities of my country. I started to learn economics as I find it very interesting and during the past four years my interest has gradually evolved into an aspiration and a pursuit for a career in this field. Learning of different courses as microeconomics, macroeconomics financial analyses investment and many other subjects with strong theoretical orientation allow me to explore economics at deeper level. Moreover I took few other courses as political history, philosophy, ethics which were not only interesting for me, but also useful in understanding of economic processes , thus I am planning to wide my knowledge in this fields by attending your program. Your program x with the specialization in x suits me perfectly. It combines my interest in the field with very needful general background, what impressed me.
As a post soviet country, Ukraine is known to have very versatile system of education which include a lot of extra courses into study program.. Although I am getting my Bachelors degree on banking specialization, my science interests are very broad. While studying I have amplify my obligatory classes with many extra lectures of visiting professors or other optimal seminars arranged by university. Such combination gives me an opportunity to use interdisciplinary approach in problem solving and teaches to be all-rounded. Also I enjoyed participating in such events as “round tables” where we discussed modern social, economical and political problems with invited guests and students. Moreover, as theoretical research work always attracted me, I tried myself and participated in several conferences for young scientists that granted me an opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas with other students and enhance my knowledge in this way. As a result, my academic publications, appeared in several scholarly collections of works. (more detailed information is available in my resume). I also want to constantly keep learning and discovering things, even after I attain my Masters’ grade.
At the same time, I am sure that solo theoretical base without working experience doesn’t provide you with all necessary skills. That’s why during my full-day studying in the university I had simultaneously tried myself in 3 different companies to better understand the purpose of courses I have been learning and to correctly fulfill “bold spots” in my education to become a high-quality professional.

Besides the college academics I was actively involved in the extra-curricular activities. The driving force behind all this was my aim to develop all the facets of my personality. To tell the truth, social activity was always an integral part of my life. Being a president of my class, a treasurer of financial department in ERACTUS students organization, a member of worldwide IESIC organization and one of the founders of the first Ukrainian students magazine “Student” have first of all widen my outlook, partner’s connections, and range of my interests. Besides it allowed me to sharpen and use my leading and organizational skills; my critical thinking and problem solving skills. (???????? ?????)
Having a proactive outlook on life, now I have many hobbies that help me spend my free time with the same productivity as working hours. Together with sports and friends on my free time I try not to forget about self improvement. Almost every week I visit an event held by famous Ukrainian or foreign person. For me this is an inexhaustible Klondike of useful ideas and thoughts. The last meeting I was deeply impressed by was a lecture of Doctor Clarence Jones, political adviser of Martin Luther King. He told a story about the creation of the famous speech “I have a dream” which is known to be the best oral speech of 20th century. Although I knew his great contribution into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-AmericanCivil_Rights_Movement(1955%E2%80%931968), I never realized that it was a defining moment which changed the Nation. It is unbelievably how one person can keep an attention of 250000 people and what is more important, presenting the speech, which purpose was not to agitate them on robbery actions but just to grant them with the hope, hope for the better future. I find such events strongly motivating me but I always try to think over ideas I have heard because there is no universal receipt of right decision in every situation and no one, doesn’t matter how successful he is, can`t tell you what to do in your life. As George Carling said : “Don’t teach your children to read, teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything”.
I am confident that I will bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm to your program and having a chance to learn in an multicultural environment with others as interested in the subject as I am, would lead to meaningful exchange of ideas from which would benefit all involved.
