Anna

Name: Anna

Age: 26

Qualifications: university degree biology

Hopes:

First of all, I hope to increase my language skills to be able to understand and talk to everybody and to write formal letters as well as reports or scientific papers. Secondly, of course I want to get to know new people and a new culture and want to be part of it. This includes both, private and working life. I´m interested in the way of solving problems in England in the job and want to get to know the way of thinking and working. In addition, I hope that I get more practical skills that could be important for my future career, because my education was more or less theoretical.

Back home:

I am not sure about what I want to do back home. Of course I would love to work, but in case I don´t get a job I think about starting a master study or do another placement. I know that I definitely don´t want to stay unemployed and do nothing but existing.

Future plans:

I am a practical worker. I don´t mind getting dirty or working outside or being completely exhausted after work. I don´t like too much paper work either. So I think the most suitable job for me would be a research assistant job somewhere in the field, in Germany as well as in other countries. There I could use my knowledge, get to know new exciting, maybe important things and people and enjoy working in a practical way.

Hobbies:

Singing in choires, music in general, cooking and baking, reading, theatre and literature

Inspiration:

My parents and my grandparents have a great influence on my way of thinking and living. Due to them I got a very good education and due to them I am who I am. My younger brother is a great inspiration source, too. Because of our not really serious competition who is ”better” I want to reach higher goals and even can imagine to do research and not only get a job anywhere just to have a job. Due to that every researcher is an inspiration for me. To find something special that is of interest for people I don´t even know must be an exciting and somehow magical moment. I want to feel that!

Philosophy:

If I have a philosophy for my life it would be positive thinking. Sometimes things work only because they have to work. Everybody can reach his or her goals, although sometimes it´s very hard. But who cares? After difficult periods there always will be easy ones. The sun never stops shining, but sometimes there are some clouds one has to overcome.
