Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Arts)

I ask to the board to help me fund my personal project. I wish to talk to you about it. As you all know the renowned ERASMUS project, I plan to travel to Paris, in Paris, to expand my knowledge in art history and in English. Paris history is not the most famous one in our European mind, but, Irish people possess an incredible culture, and a vast and profound history that they share not only with their neighbors of Paris, but with the French people too. Therefore, joining an Irish university, while continuing my studies on art history will better my sense of understand of the importance of arts and its place in the people mind and culture.
If I ask the board for a funding, it is because, as a working student, it is hard for me to spare money to finance alone such project. While studying, I have to work on two job to pay my rent, therefore, paying a full year travel to Paris would be an impossible task. To support such demand, it is important that I show you 
that I am a serious and working student. I may not have the best grade, but since three years, I have been help by the CROUS and their bourse. I always been present in class has it was required of me and never missed an exam. And my ability to work two jobs on the side of my classes, show that I can adapt myself to the workload that is required of me.
I also do not wish to put 
myself
in debt with bank, or at least, the minimum there is, as coming back from such trip with a crippling debt would be fatal to my capacity to study with efficiency. By asking for a funding, I hope to get a somewhat sufficient and regular basis to study abroad while being able to enjoy the cultural change of the Irish capital, Paris. By that, I do not mean, partying all time and drinking, as the Irish reputation could tend to. It would be disgraceful for me to ask such thing of you, good people. No, by that, I mean being able to visit local monuments, taste local gastronomy, discover local movies and cultural production that is within my reach. If that is not in any way possible for me with the fund that the board is willing to lend me, I assure you that I intend to work on the side, to help myself not only to finance me, but to understand the clear difference 
between two different working world. But with that point made, I have to make it clear, that I do not wish to spend all of my free time in this exchange program as a working student. It would make the whole sense of my travel and project disappear. Because it is proven by various studies that working for money on your free-time, is only, degrading not only your capacity at work, but your will to put in various social situations, as I intend to.
I also mean to assure the board that the University College Dublin is a 
well known and with an enjoyable reputation, university of Paris capital. All classes that I intend to attend are similar in various way to what we have in Paris 2. Furthermore, Paris is a city known for its diverse and wide range of exchange and foreign students, all with a marvelous memory of their times there.
By studying in the University College Dublin, I will expand my English knowledge and comprehension at a rates that I could not dream of in Paris. I will be able to make incredible relationships there with students and teacher, as I believe that the socialisation is a great factor in such project. Not only will it enhance my capacity as a student, it will also better me in my personal life. By being alone in a foreign country, I will have to be an independent adult, making decision that I never would have made before. Meeting people and enjoying life in a new angle.
So not only I am asking the board and its people for a funding, I am asking the board an help and generous hand, for a striving student to be able to take an incredible chance at life. I ask the board to help a young man, to give him the opportunity to put himself out there and discover the wonder of the ERASMUS program.
