Default Plzzz help completing my motivation letter

Plzz correct for me the following:

the last 10 years in more details:
unfortunately after secondary school i was not allwoed to choose what i want to study, the ministry of education gave every student 3 choices and each student had to choose one of them, unfortunately engineering wasn't one of these choices.
i choose for science so i subscribed in the Faculty of Science Milan university.
After 4 years "in the year 2000" when i was in my third year i quit for personal reasons and i start work and start have some company courses (marketing, management and computers) after that i start work in the marketing department of el xxxx "www.xxxxx.com. i worked for this company until summer 2003 then we decided to goto Sweden.
one of the reasons that i left my job and traveled to Sweden is that there was a possibility to continue what i was always dreaming of. but i couldn't start immediately so i start learning the language of the country first then i had to work, so i decided to work for a couple of years to save some money that can help me to do full time studies, but in the mean time i did the information technology course, and now I'm really ready for the new beginning and for full time studding.

in my last year in information technology, and because me and 2 other colleagues were very interested in electronics and machine interaction, our final project was about creating an application that will monitor and control power supplies located in 650 place in Sweden remotely. in order to to finish this project, we had to study some electronics and machines subjects with a help from Eng. "snyler cheroke" and from Eng. Marc astrid, they gave us some tasks to fully understand how the machines "power supplies" are working so we can reach our goal and create the application.
fortunately we had a great sucess and the application works very good and it's in the testing phase at the moment, and hopefuly they will run it somewher at the end of this year.
Project ref:
Eng. Henk verselt "project promoter Group-T"

finally i would like to mention that, for me mathematics, physics chemic s programing ...etc are not just some subjects that i have to study but i really enjoy learning these subjects because they represent a challenge for me and i love challenge because challenge is fun, and I'm sure that I will be good in these subjects.

I would suggest using a spellcheck and some capital letters first.

Unfortunately after secondary school i was not allowed to choose what i want to study, the ministry of education gave every student 3 choices and each student had to choose one of them, unfortunately engineering wasn't one of these choices. First point - "I" is always a capital letter. Second point - you have three separate sentences. It is better to make them properly sentences than to have them all run into one massive sentence.

I choose for science so i subscribed in the Faculty of Science at Milan University.
After 4 years "in the year 2000" (Why is this in quotation marks?)when i was in my third year [There is a confusion as to whether you were there for four years or three years] i quited [left] for personal reasons and i started work and start have some company courses (marketing, management and computers) after that i start work in the marketing department of el xxxx "www.xxxxx.com. Again, you need to break this into shorter sentences.

I worked for this company until summer 2003 then we [Who?] decided to goto Sweden.

One of the reasons that i left my job and traveled to Sweden is that there was a possibility to continue what i was always dreaming of, but i couldn't start immediately so i have started learning the language of the country first then i had to work, so i decided to work for a couple of years to save some money that can help me to do full time studies, but in the meantime i did an information technology course, and now I'm really ready for a new beginning and for full time studding.

You need to do a lot more rewriting. Below is an example of what needs to be done.

Why do you think I made the changes I made? Figure that out and you will be a long way toward improving the whole thing.

Hi all, Thank you very much for the fast reply and the support, and also for the guiding ( I learned new things that I will never forget :))
I did what you told me “more or less” and here is the result:
Please give me your feedback.

I started to work for Xxx Company.
This company offered me some courses (marketing, management, and computers).
After that, I started to work in the marketing department of that company.

OK


Say:
guidance
Re:

Say:
Unfortunately, after secondary school, I was not allowed to choose what I wanted to study
Say:
three choices
(The rule is that numbers from one to ten are spelled out.)




Say:
Unfortunately, engineering was not one of those choices.
(The word those is more distant in space and time than these.)

Re:

After 4 years in the year 2000, when i was in my third year (I had to do the third year twice) I left for personal reasons.
There are a couple of punctuation errors in those sentences.
