on with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I am a hard worker and I learn quickly. My general
attitude is always positive, and I am good at finding solutions to practical problems. I have an infinite
love for the African land and its animals, which will become my future career. I am a strong person
who can take on responsibility, also physically quite capable of going through tough circumstances yet
remaining calm and cool headed. As a complete contrast, I am also gentle and can work sensitively
with different people’s sensitivities. I am applying for this job because I know I am capable and I would
love the opportunity to gain even further/greater experiences.
