Petition Letter
I am writing to request to take my 3rd year, second semester, away at another university. The opportunity to study abroad will allow for a number of academic and enriching opportunities including cultural exposure, unique academic opportunities, personal growth, language skill development, and more. To begin with, the chance to study in the Netherlands would allow me to immerse myself in a completely unfamiliar culture and environment. This is a unique opportunity to observe and embrace cultural distinctions that would otherwise remain unexplored.
Furthermore, it would be a privilege to study at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, a world-renowned university, and participate in academic courses that are not offered at Queens. This will enhance my understanding of subjects that I already have an interest in and may also introduce me to new ones.
Moreover, living independently in a foreign country will serve as a catalyst for personal growth. Going abroad will push me to step outside of my comfort zone and motivate me to overcome obstacles I may not otherwise encounter. The skills and lessons that I will take away from this experience will have lasting effects on both my academic career and my future endeavours.
Finally, although I have little familiarity with Dutch, the primary language in the Netherlands, studying abroad will help me learn a new language. Having the opportunity to be immersed in the language will provide me with the best form of linguistic learning. This newly acquired skill will become invaluable as I can rely on it when travelling to other parts of the world where Dutch is spoken and can enhance my career prospects in the future.
Therefore, studying abroad will provide me with a unique academic opportunity, lasting personal growth skills and an immersive cultural experience.
