Description

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is James Hoffmann. I am 23 years old and come from Braunschweig, Germany. After graduating from high school, I began to study mechanical engineering due my interest in maths and science.
After I began my studies, I became involved in various projects, extra-curricular pursuits and mini jobs. For example, I supported forest management projects by repairing fences and paths, taking care of trees and bushes and creating a rock garden. I also took care of animals, like goats, chickens, and pigs. Through this process of self-exploration and growth, I discovered that sustainability and nutrition are more fulfilling and relevant for my future. Now I find myself less interested in mechanical engineering and gravitating more towards projects such as building a self-sustaining community. Therefore, I would like to change my major and study agricultural sciences. I would like to further pursue my studies in the Netherlands as the country better suits me due its open culture and beautiful landscape.
A little bit about me and my characteristics: I enjoy being physically fit and healthy. I also like to cook and my interests are broad. As I have three younger siblings, many of which I supported with supervision and care, and due to my experience as a youth leader, I am very patient and good with children.
