 MOTIVATION/INSPIRATION IN MY DECISION TO STUDY IN THE NETHERLANDS 

# data[].attributes.body
Ever since I can remember, my parents have always been so open minded when talking about freedom, that me as their daughter needed to always learn a lot of things and travel as much as I could, because if you have the resources to grow as a person, you must use them.  I always wanted to study abroad, not only because I wanted to learn about another country, but also because of the better opportunities for the future. At first I was sure that I wanted to study Arts, because I always loved music and dancing but in my last month of high school I thought about my opportunities and future job and so I decided to study IBA. I liked the career because my dad has a company where he is involved in the international and business environment, and I was lucky to participate and learn with him, and by doing that I started to like and be more involved in this career, also because I knew that studying arts was not going to give me a proper salary and life in the future. My motivation was to meet international people, to learn business skills, to have a good salary and to help my dad's job to grow.  I was not really sure in which university  to study but  I was told about the  Netherlands education,   and even if I did not knew a lot about the Netherlands, I was inspire by the way European education worked , the culture and their hardworking characteristics.
I started to research more about the country  and education programes and that made me more excited about the idea. In my research I found Erasmus Rotterdam University . I was really excited to enter University but in order to apply I had to take a Foundation Year which took me to study in HISC.

The world is based on business , everything needs to be administrated, organized and in a equilibrium. I choose business because I think is a very useful career not only for the amount you gain if you work for a famous o big company, but because the knowledge you receive will help you in real life, is not only making people rich, is the way to manage money, create plans, and if you are successful you can create a product or service that can be really useful for society. In my case, my long term goal is to have my own company with a product that instead of creating it to be a necessity for costumers, it can do a positive change in the world. International business gives you another perspective of how money, business and people behave as you meet and engage with people around the world, which for me is essential for any career and job. I believe IBA is the suitable program for me in which I will be able to improve my skills and gain some more, as well as learn as much as possible and being able to get out of my comfort zone.

At first I was not sure about what program related with business to choose, but when I made a research I founded very interesting the Erasmus Rotterdam IBA programme, and that is why i decided to apply.
To be admitted 100% I need to complete a year at Holland ISC and pass the International Foundation Year.  Erasmus is one of the best universities so that is why I have no doubt that it will give me all the bases I need for me to succeed in the future. I am nervous but excited to be part of these experience, and I also know the foundation year is going to help me a lot.
