Dear AIESEC Committee of UNAND.

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wr

First of all I would loke to say thank you very much for all of you who has
come to UNP, and promoted about AIESEC. I was really interested when I heard
that AIESEC come to unp. I’m writing this letter to express my strong motivation
for AIESEC. Right now, I’m majoring Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris of UNP, I’m a
new college student here. I love organization wherever I am. But, in fact many
students do not realize the importance or value behind joining organization. Here I
will give some reasons why I want join in AIESEC. Well as the college student I
want to learn how to talk other people from different culture and countries, and
here AIESEC came as International Organization, this is my opportunity to build
some social skill. I want to improve my communication skill, because I’m
interacting with different people. Beside that I may take up the responsibility or
challenge to be a leader and I can learn what it takes to be leader, and this is the
way for me to get training and instilling those good leadership skills.
I see the phenomenon that, life is not about career and making money. It
is about building friendship and having fun. I can get a chance to meet people and
build good friendship. I will be part of the social activities and will have so much
fun. As the name international organization, AIESEC have developed a certain
international organization structure, some are worldwide oriented and that give us
a chance to get international connections on different levels.
As my previous experienced ,when I was senior high school, I used to join
some organization such us ROHIS, and debate club. I lived in dormitory class, so
I have any experienced about organization. I lived with the best community.
Furthermore, the dormitory class always held a competition, “ EMC “ stand for
“English Month Competition “ as level West Sumatera every year. I included as
the chairwomen of debate competition, we asked for some lecturer and the best
speaker from UNAND, Politeknik, and UNP. As the committee I should control
the entire event, besides that, I also join an MC in some event or activity which is
held in my school, I also good in public speaking. I also joined some competition,
for instance speech contest, debate, storytelling, LCC UUD 1945 and so on. So
that’s why I would continue my talent here in AIESEC. I want to give
contribution, not only for myself but to the member of society trough my skill. I
want know more about organization, exchange student is my dreams. By AIESEC
I can help me to announce or promote to another countries all about Indonesia.
May be that’s all that I can tell you. By this letter I really hope that I’m
serious to join as the member in AIESEC. Thank you for time you invested to
read my motivation letter and a little experience, hope to speak with you soon and
pass to the next section.
Assalamualikum Wr. Wb

Yours sincerely

Motivation letter of a student applying to Dutch technological

university

Here you can find an example of the motivation letter, written by a student
applying to a Dutch technological university.

I am James Smith, the 3rd year student of XXXX University of Power

Engineering and Telecommunications.

I have always been thinking about my future, building a career, becoming a

successful person and generally finding my own path in the life.

Almost all my family including my uncles, aunts and cousins have their jobs
which somehow connected to the field of technology. I have grown among
intelligent people and it had great influence on the development of my personality
so since early childhood I have learnt the importance of education.

My school teachers always noted that I had good abilities in such subjects as
mathematics and physics. This increased my interest in exact sciences, and I
decided to connect my future career with technological area of activity, wishing to
gain success in the future. And if I become successful I will pay back my parents
for their warmth and loving tender, as they have been those who have been
supporting me throughout my life.

For that reason I constructed a plan for achieving this long-term aim. By the plan I
accomplished some small objectives: graduated from school in the number of the
best students and won a scholarship to study in XXXX University of Power
Engineering and Telecommunications. This year I am going to graduate from the
university, and plan to enter one of the best universities of the world for my
Masters’ degree. As it was before I started to find one with an opportunity to win
a scholarship. I spent much time searching, and at last I chose the XXXX
University among other universities of the Netherlands.
The first acquaintance with your university began from collecting particular
information about it. From the data I had found I managed to make some basic
picture explaining why I chose it.

XXXX University is the biggest innovative centre which takes active part in the
field of fundamental and applied sciences. Furthermore, the research
investigations of students and scientists make a great contribution to the
development of high technologies in and outside the Netherlands. In addition to
investigative work the university keeps on stimulating entrepreneurial abilities in
its students. It favoured the establishment of more than 600 thousand industrial
companies which successively function on the basis of mutually beneficial
collaboration with students and research personnel of XXXX University.
Furthermore, I was astonished reading about implementations which are
conducted there. For example, the development of virtual satellite dish or
microchip with a solar cell which does not need batteries. All the articles about
achievements of the university let me conclude that XXXX University is the most
suitable institution to realize my potential.

As far as my pertinent work experience is concerned, I would like to mention that

last summer I was undergoing training in local telecommunication company for 5
weeks. This company devotes itself to providing wireless broadband Internet
access to its customers. As a trainee I had many duties starting from reconfiguring
equipment and finishing by arriving to a certain client to set up a network. During
the training I managed to acquire some specific skills, for example, how to
organize conduit in different kinds of buildings or how exactly a cable laying is
implemented. Likewise, I got to know the structure of telecommunication agency.
In addition, I learnt the principles of team work and improved my communicative
abilities. As a result, after completion of the training I was given a qualification of
assistant engineer.

As regards my interests, I am glad to say that I am not a person who is only

engaged in studies. I have dozens of activities which I like to do. Generally, I
would like to note that I have always kept healthy lifestyle. I was taught that it is
much better to struggle with your sicknesses by developing your health rather than
taking drugs infinitely. All these clearly define my high interest in keeping healthy
lifestyle that is reflected in my big love of sport. For instance, I am a real football
fan which means that I enjoy playing and watching it. Thus I always try to find
some time to go out and play such a wonderful game with my friends. What is
more, the fact that football is the most famous sport in the Netherlands so there
are plenty of professional football clubs which are recognized worldwide is
another plus for entering your university. In addition, I also like such kinds of
sports that upgrade strength, stamina, reaction and flexibility. That is why the list
of my favourite sports is very wide including not only football, but also
basketball, swimming, long-distance jogging, sprint, table tennis and recently I
have found myself in martial arts especially Boxing and different kinds of
wrestling. Finally, I cannot forget that reading books is another passion of mine.
Thus, most of all I prefer science fiction, fantasy and detective novels as my
favourite genres.

With respect to my future career, as I mentioned before the fact, that XXXX
University links its activity with investigative work and at the same time develop
entrepreneurial skills of its students, is a fundamental reason of why I desire to
study exactly here. The question is that our nation is lack of highly qualified
specialists in the field of telecommunication. What is more, as user I am not
satisfied with the level of provision of different telecommunication services that
are also very expensive and I am sure that I am not the only one who supposes so.
I believe that our country has much more potential; therefore, as a true patriot, I
wish to contribute to the development of the national telecommunication. In other
words, if I gain the Masters’ degree in your university then I am going to return
back to my homeland to make efforts to establish my own telecommunication
company for the purpose of providing telecommunication of a high quality at a
reasonable price. To implement such goal I need to improve my leadership
qualities and acquire special knowledge in chosen field of education, which will
be possible if I join XXXX University.

In conclusion, I would like to say that if I become a student of your university, I

promise to be a worthy member of the team.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to your
positive response.

Yours sincerely,

James Smith
