I turn my passion into zealous dreams and pursue them with determination. From the early days of tinkering with my mini mechanic's set to the recent ones of improving the efficiency of solar cells, I have pursued diverse interests, with my learning graph seeing a continuous positive increase. Every single achievement carved its niche in my personality and helped me identify my career path. Art is a challenging field. It requires precision, tolerance and imagination. I learned patience and dedication when I pored over drawings and portraits for years, trying to make them match perfectly with the image I had in my mind. Several hours of practice a day for many years on vocal and instrumental music made me understand the benefits of hard work and perseverance. I stepped out of my comfort zone with theater and tapped into my creative potential. Learning different speech patterns has transformed me into an articulate presenter. Reading and writing continually helps to increase my acumen and express my thoughts cogently. I developed a strong passion for the physical sciences due to a penchant for intriguing problems in physics and mathematics. After ranking 98th percentile in the Karnataka Common Entrance Test for aspiring engineers, I chose to study in the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering course at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. I enjoyed every course in the program, putting in an intense effort by attending numerous workshops and seminars held at my college as a student member of the Society of Mechanical Engineers, participating in field trips organized by the institute, and accepting internships and projects at every opportunity. opportunity. I was particularly drawn to the Applied subjects The...... middle of paper...... Anthony Jacobi and John Georgiadis and found some of my goals to coincide with theirs. I hope to become a dynamic member of student organizations such as the Student Sustainability Committee, which takes an active interest in improving the sustainability of processes on campus and sponsors projects in this field. I also see an opportunity to interact with staff at research institutions like the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center and hope to do a project with them. The solutions to some puzzles lie within the problems themselves. Most processes related to renewable energy leave ample room to improve their work efficiency. I believe the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign will provide me with the tools to eliminate redundant details and reveal the inner solution intact. I look forward to being part of the UIUC community in the near future.
