Dear Madam or Sir,
I appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to the BSc in Medicine-Global Health Profile at the University of Groningen for the 2009 fall term.
Since my early childhood I felt an inner connection to the health field even thought I did not know much about it. It all began when my youngest brother was born in 1994. I was only seven years old but it was so fascinating to see the nurses and doctors take a care of a little new life. From that day on I knew that is going to my ultimate goal to become a doctor and to be able to help others and to make a difference. In middle school I started to primary focus on biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics and Latin in school. I started gaining knowledge and more important passion. In High school I got the chance to really look into the health field by volunteering at a local. Furthermore I focused even more on biology by choosing it as my major subject. Graduating from high school in 2007 I decided to spent I year as an Au Pair in the United States of America to majorly improve my English skills and of course to learn about their culture and lifestyle. The year opened me up as a person, make me more independent. During the second year I gave myself the opportunity to volunteer in the American health field at a local hospital in Maryland which was I totally different but knowledge gaining experience.
