Here is Anna’s motivation letter. A motivation letter is the kind of letter you have to prepare so
as to be admitted at some universities. Of course, she was accepted. Well, I imagine today,
Thursday, at half past three in the evening, you might be thinking about better things to do than
reading Anna’s work. But, believe me, this exam is really crucial and, thus, we should
endeavour to get the best result. So, look on the bright side and let’s start!
Returning to Peru
Returning to Peru to visit my father’s homeland, I was disturbed by the significant pollution,
land degradation, unsustainable practices, and lack of clean water surrounding me. My daddy
had explained his memories to me so many times: an orphaned boy surrounded by waste,
consuming water from a filthy communal tap in a dreadful shantytown of Lima, Peru still
haunts me.
Exploration drives discovery. This unique experience formulated my passion and career
objective: preserving the environment and protecting the planet’s natural resources. An endless
array of them, by the way.
Since my discovery, I have never stopped preparing for a future in Environmental Engineering.
I’ve immersed myself in rigorous classes of Environmental Science, Chemistry, Biology, Math,
Physics, and Geology. I have organized a “Walk for Water” to raise awareness of water
conservation, worked extensively with the Youngsters for Nature Foundation and taken part at
Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, and even received my first grant for a project designed to
install a green roof, rain barrels, and a rain garden at my school.
For billions of years, Earth’s structure and composition has developed to maintain a balance of
order for the prosperity of life. Unfortunately, humans have not returned the favour. Instead, we
have created unprecedented amounts of habitat destruction, toxic waste, and water insecurity.
Environmental Engineering is, as far as I´m concerned, the integration of Science and
Engineering principles to develop solutions to any of our Nature’s future crises. I want to
address the risks of contaminated water, and develop efficient ways to conserve and purify
water resources globally while preserving major ecosystems. I want to end land degradation in
endangered and vulnerable habitats such as my father’s homeland. I want to create alternatives
to produce clean energy. I want to reduce the ecological footprint left by our species. This last
one is my main goal, undoubtedly.
Naturally, I will always continue my love for music, soccer, art, and the outdoors. Nonetheless,
my passion for the environment actually serves as an outstanding turning point in my life. I
couldn’t imagine a different Anna. Long time ago I promised my daddy I would do my best to
improve Peru, his country. Peruvian people are certainly hard-working and so am I. I might
have a penchant for watching series or wasting time from time to time, but I am well aware
some priorities deserve all my effort and time. That’s why I want to be admitted at your
university. Not only will I do my best in this four courses’ degree on Environmental Engineer, I
will also strive, later on, at my career and I will battle the effects of pollution or any issue that
endangers our beloved Earth.
