motivation letter

Since I was an 8-th Grader I took part in the organisation of many high-school events and trips such as the 1st-of-July Charity Fair, Halloween and Christmas parties, various sport competitions and a long-remembered trip around the country. I was elected the Chairwoman of the Student Council at school two years in a raw and as such contributed to the initiative "Children Help Children". For me it was pleasure, not an obligation and this is how the initial idea of studying Tourism and/or Event Management formed. Planning, coordinating and taking active part in events, combined with my passion for travelling, shaped the idea and inspired me to apply to an undergraduate programme abroad and then, hopefully, find professional realization in the sphere. Thinking about Torism and/or Event Management, I find the UK the perfect place for my academic development and self-improvement in the sector. A world-famous tourist destination, vibrant society and busy social life all provide good opportunities for valuable practical experience. Practice as an important and integrated part of the curriculum is what attracted my attention. I am definitely opting for a 'sandwich' or practice-involved undergraduate programme at a UK university as work placement is something future employers would be looking for.

Competitive high school environment is extremely important for the successful transition into a university classroom. As a student at the St Patriarch Evtimii Secondary School in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, I was inspired and motivated by both teachers and classmates to study hard and perform well academically. My excellent grades aim to prove that. Moreover, I have the opportunity to study three foreign languages – French, Italian and English – which has made me more adaptive and open to foreign society and customs. Excellent communication skills and knowledge about business and management are other qualities one must possess. I made the first step and put the ground by taking part in the organization of school events. To be able to organize myself before organizing an event is a valuable lesson I learnt through these initiatives. I got used to rate tasks by importance and urgency. Steadiness and easy-temper ar two of my qualities I relied most in stressful situations. I try to keep an optimistic view about resolving a problem. With the help of my good friends - 'creativity' and 'imagination' - I always aim to break the cliche. In all cases I look for a pinch of modernism that could make an event, a project or a trip unique and longtime-remembered. I believe an undergraduate programme in Tourism and/or Event Management at a UK university would provide the initial base and the push needed to become a professional in the filed of management. My passion and love for organizing all kind of events and trips will guide me through the academic years and the amazing experience of studying abroad.
