Arthur Løvgren Frandsen
Hi, my name is Arthur Løvgren Frandsen. I’m 21 years old and I come from Esbjerg, DK.
Throughout my years of education, I have been at two schools. My first 6 years of education
was spent at a private school called Esbjerg Realskole, and then I finished my last years at a
sports school called Vitaskolen, because I played a lot of football back then. Afterwards I
stopped focusing on football and shifted my attention towards studying and socializing at
Rybners gymnasium, where I took a HHX education with specific focus on Economy, English,
Business and International economy/trade. Even though much of my attention and energy was
targeted at school, I still prioritized making connections and friendships at my gymnasium,
which was why I applied and shortly later participated in my school’s party committee, where
I gained qualities such as professionalism towards friends, multitasking, problem-solving and
in general improving socially with my fellow students. It was unfortunately cut short, because
of the Corona pandemic, and my last year and a half was therefore mostly online on zoom,
which presented a challenge, in terms of participation, commitment and involvement in my
classes. Luckily it didn’t last forever, and I finished gymnasium on a high note, in person with
my classmates.
Finally, I graduated in 2021, and then began having my gap years. I decided that I wanted to
do something abroad, because the Corona pandemic had affected a lot of trips during my time
at Rybners. Therefore, I applied for a working holiday in Canada with two of my friends. We
were accepted by a ski resort called SilverStar and spent the next 5,5 months working on the
resort, skiing and socializing with all the other internationals working on the mountain. During
the months in Canada my English was greatly improved. Afterwards, I returned home and
worked for a year at a wineshop called AndrupVin, where I worked mostly in storage but also
took part in our physical and online shop, where we helped our costumers with their needs.
Since the start of January, I’ve been spending my third gap year at Aarhus Idrætshøjskole, and
my stay here is ending the 21st of June. In conclusion, my gap years have been spent focusing
on traveling, making forever lasting experiences/connections, appreciating what you’ve got
and most importantly for me, developing myself as a person, and figuring out how I want to
live, and what I want to do in the future.
These experiences have now pointed me towards BSc Business, Language and Culture in
Copenhagen. I find the study exciting and attractive, because of the intercultural involvement
you get to work with, and because of my big interest in the key words connected to the study,
such as economics, language, international business and communication, and the general focus
on creating results and relations with other cultures and countries. I believe myself to be a good
match for Business, Language and Culture, because of the skills learnt at my gymnasium, but
also most definitely because the personal skills I’ve developed and improved over the years. I
have gained/improved skills such as responsibility, competitiveness productivity, efficiency,
cooperativeness and business mindedness throughout my time studying. In addition, my social
skills have improved immensely while traveling and during my stay here at the højskole. My
curiosity dealing with internationals and their cultures has spiked as well, and so I find myself
drawn by the study. After the bachelor, I would love to spend my masters working abroad for
a firm or organization helping them maintaining international relations and results in their
competitive markets, while cooperating with others. I would prefer cooperating with others,
because I find working with others inspiring, comfortable and self-improving because of the
feedback you can give and receive from others, which can be complementary and eye-opening.
I am fully aware that starting and completing a long and higher education places great demands
on the individual student, but I can assure you, that I am ready to give the study all I’ve got. I
hope you will take my application into consideration.
Kind regards, Arthur Løvgren Frandsen.
