Please proofread my statement of purpose (university application)

0Hi there!! Please proofread my statement of purpose and feel free to comment on it. I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.02br
02br
00I would like to explain to you why I am applying to ***00 and why I believe studying at this university is very important for my future academic and especially personal development.02br
02br
02br

00My first experience with the ** was my participation in *** at the ** Centre (...) From the beginning of this unique and valuable experience I was intrigued by the legendary American way of life. Since then I cannot wait to go back to the 010200 to see and learn more about this impressive country. Moreover I got to know the Americans as extremely friendly and outgoing people who are fond of life and keen on learning more about other countries.02br

00Apart from various academic advantages that American universities in general provide such as tuition in small groups, a more personal atmosphere and very good equipment, (...)00. 00 00It has an excellent reputation while offering a wide spectrum of courses and highly qualified professors. Being and English major and being particularly interested in American studies, 00is definitely a great choice for me. As I am planning to become a teacher, studying at *** will also give me insights into the American educational system and different teaching and learning styles. Moreover I take the view that as an English teacher only dealing with American culture in theory is certainly not enough. You have to really have lived and experienced American culture, customs and society in order to convey this knowledge to your students authentically.02br

00However, the major benefits of studying two semesters at ** imply my personal development. At ** I will meet and study with people from all over the world and therefore be able to explore other ways of thinking, learn more about other countries, different cultural manners and traditions, and thus enhance my global skills and my cross- cultural awareness. ** is famous for its hospitality and openness towards international students and offers a lot of things for them such as an orientation week and various organizations. 00 00There is even a ** club that I can contribute to which would help me integrate into the campus.02br

00(.....)Exchange students are very well supported by the ****.****02br
02br
02br
02br
00Encouraging students to study abroad and participate in an exchange program is something I can do for *** Furthermore I can especially help students of ** with the language and inform them about my country and culture. Thus, I am convinced that both sides will benefit from this exchange.02br
