STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
"A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." Likewise, life is a constant learning experience in which everyday provides an opportunity to learn more. By becoming an engineer, this is what I hope to achieve in my life as well.
From an early age, I have enjoyed participating in various activities related to science. I wanted to further this by studying them at an advanced level. My reason for taking up petroleum engineering is simply a manifestation of my own curiosity. My interest in natural resources developed when I stumbled upon the terms 'energy conservation' and 'the adverse effects of environmental pollution caused by oil and gas exploration'. These terms intrigued me to a great extent, so I wanted to learn more about them. Ever since then, I decided to be a part of a team that explores ways to reduce pollution and also device more economical ways of exploring oil and gas. I have been constantly reading several books and exploring the internet to find research topics that deal with energy and environmental conservation. This has broadened my knowledge and equipped me with the tools to pursue a career in petroleum engineering.
I have successfully completed my high school with an above average percentile. Apart from my regular life, I like spending my free time with my family and my dog. Listening to music, drawing and playing chess are my favorite pass times. I have been to chess tournaments and even played for my school. I play football and cricket with my friends, but never played for my school team. I like to participate in debates, quizzes, discussions and volunteer myself in social activities. I have a keen interest in computers; in fact, I have done courses dealing with networking and administration in Windows Server- 2008 and Linux operating system in my vacations.
India is a developing country and I am proud to be a part of such a great nation. Many Indians, as myself hold high aims and goals; but to achieve them, there aren't many opportunities presented. Cause - 'corruption'; a word that infers directly to the politicians, who are well versed in the art of rhetoric. All they care about is power and possession. They disseminate false notions on sensitive issues causing a wild fire among the people. In one such incident, they spoiled an 'otherwise good day' with a disturbing and unpleasant strike to shutdown all the working institutions and offices for their own selfish desires. The teacher had to stop the class and make us leave the premises. Such incidents happened many times in my schooling years. Considering these factors and also in the aspects of technology, I decided to continue my studies abroad, as in the USA which is a land of opportunities and where I believe I can achieve my goals through hard work and sincerity.
I am well prepared for the challenges that lie up ahead, hoping that I do my best in becoming a successful person one day.
is it alright?
please post your reviews.
thanks in advance.
