Joining Red Cross : my letter of motivation


I am a student in Phelma Grenoble INP. I have been living in Grenoble for four years. If there is one thing you should understand about me, it is the fact that I had depression. I am still not sure whether I am totally cured or not for now, but I want to make sure I get rid of it. I had been wasting my own life. I used to be a drunkard and I am not proud of it. I feel sinful for wasting my own life and now I don't want the guilt to define the rest of my life. 

That's why I choose to be a volunteer, in the search for redemption. I want to regain my internal drive to live my best by doing something fulfilling. I want to make my contribution to the society, to contribute beyond myself. As a person, what I can do is limited. But as a group like Red Cross, more can be done in a more efficient way. I choose Red Cross because I believe Red Cross can provide the most efficient way, the right way to contribute for the society. Saying that deprived people need my help is not very correct. In fact, I would say I need Red Cross' help, to provide me a way to contribute to the society. 

Being depressed and going through a series of unfortunate events, now I could say I have a deep sense of empathy for those alienated from the society, for the deprived people. I know the feeling of not being fitted into the society and being an outcast. And that's my power, my greatest asset. I don't know what am I really good at, but I am sure that I am not suitable to do french tuition for children for now, because I had shut down myself so much that my level of french had degraded so much. For now, I would like to try out different other activities available, just to be sure what kind of work suit me the best.

I like the teamwork. Rigorous and attentive, I like the job done and I will do my best to meet the requirements. I remain at your disposal to arrange an interview date and provide you with any additional information you deem necessary.
