„Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong . There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.“ - Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quato , mentioned before , gives me confidence to do great things myself in life and pursue them into bigger ones one day ahead . In these moments i like to remember what Napoleon Hill once said: „If you can´t do great things, do small things in a great way.“ The things is, that everyone has to start somewhere, to find their own way in this life-that is the reason why i am writing this letter at this very moment, to let you know , that i am ready to make a change .
To introduce myself, i would use one word-determined. I am 19 years old girl from Estonia and i live in two cities at the same time. During my school time i live in Tartu and when i want to charge my batteries i take a trip to smaller city and my hometown called Rakvere. Itmight be little , but it has it´s own way to fancy people. For example our city is known for a running event-„ Night run“ where for 2 years i have been a volunteer to encourage and help people who have come together to Rakvere for one goal -to run a distance and share good emotions .
I have attended primary school in a school what is near to Rakvere, in an english KALLAK class . I furthered my studies at Rakvere Vocational school for the next 2 years. That is also the start of my cookery studies what i continued in Tartu Vocational Education Centre . For now, i have finished my high school studies, but my cookery qualification studies are still going on. These amazing years, what i have spent in a world of excellence in cookery are memorable. Probably the highlight for my studies was the opportunity what i found myself trough the Internet , during my 2 year studies. I had a rare chance to do my trainee period in well-known Jamie Oliver restaurant in London. That is Jamie´s first restaurant and also a place , where very many young students are trained to give them a better future. The period spent there is something what i would never change. Variety of cultures and thoughts, but one dream and a one team . What and inspiring place to be, to learn about food, cultures, different opinions on world, business and hospitality . Leaving from England was hard , for some reason a piece of me left there, so that was the moment i promised to myself, that i will go back to study in this multicultural environment.
The second achievement i made at my first year secondary school studies, was when i decided to do research work in history and got recognition from Estonian president for reflecting everyday life. The theme was: „ Changes during 20 years of independence-Changes in Estonians eating habits“.
The third bigger breaktrough came , after my Estonian teacher asked my if i would be interested of taking part from and essay -writing competition , where the main prize would be a trip to Brussels , European Parliament and meeting with Siiri Oviir, who is working as a deputy in European Parliament. The theme of this essay was „How you live-Estonian child ?“ And on one autumn evening, after school i got a call where i was told that i had won 2-3 place and will be flying to Brussels in spring.
From these moments on, i realised that you can only get somewhere if you do something yourself. I would not have had these opportunities if i would have just waited for good luck. It made me think, what i would like to do in the future and where to be. I already knew, that my dream was to study abroad, and after Brussels it came to me. I wanted to study something that influences many lives in a positive way.
So to further my intrests, i started reading books written by successful people-Robert T.Kiyosaki, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Branson, Robin Sharma. I believe that these people are not only successful in business, they just know how to influence others in a positive way, how to make smart decisions and live an amazing life. From these books you learn how to be a great professional and how important really a great education is in order to understand the world as a system and to handle it in the way you like it.
I have also finished a „Entrepreneurship“ course last year to develop my understandings about economy, finances , business and marketing .
All things together, i have to say, that my main goal is to get an education what is sustainable . I believe that it is the key of a successfuul future, when you can learn a thing you like and know how to use every bit of it in your and others lives in the future. And as Robin Sharma has started he´s book „The leader who had no title“ with the words : „Anyone´s biggest dreams don´t come true, when they don´t start from the little ones“ Ralph Charell, i would finish my statement.
