‘One percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration’, one of the renowned adages said by Edison to define success which suits to my attitude aptly. At this point of time, I had finished my first sailing as a Junior Engineer and taken a wise decision to excel my future through pursuing Masters at University of New Orleans, LA which is an eternal dream waiting next to me. This aphorism has great impact on my life.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:
I had completed my schooling at Bhasyam High School, which is one of the best reputed schools in the state and passed out with 90% marks, I was among the top 5 percentile students in that year’s public examination for Secondary School Certificate and also one of the state level toppers in Mathematics and Social Studies.

I have undergone three stints of trainings as per curriculum, the first one regular port visits at Tuticorn, one of the major ports in India, Secondly, six months Internship at ‘T. S Meenakshi- Training Ship(Bulk Carrier)’and the third one is 20 days pre sea training voyage on ship from Chennai to Andaman Islands. At Tuticorn port, gave me general overview of various ship structures. The Internship training was more specific where I got a chance to study the ship structure, Construction, Stability, Various piping system, MARPOL, SOLAS and fabrication of marine engines. Third one, Pre Sea training voyage on passenger vessel, seeing firsthand the various operations and processes involved on ship was an eye opener. It made me realize the importance of practical training in getting a deeper perspective of the
Crossing the Atlantic and getting through Ellis Island was very berserk. There were so many configurations and elements that I never had witnessed in my life. On a boat in the water for two weeks got very dull and sluggish. But finally seeing the Statue of Liberty was a dream resuming. Getting through the Atlantic was very tough.
My most significant academic learning experience has been…
Despite the numerous engineering programs within the United States, the University of Kentucky College of Engineering remains unique and desirable. Firstly, the University of Kentucky’s academic programs are nationally recognized, a recognition several institutions desire. Faculty members within this prestigious institution provide extensive curricular lessons, allowing me to engage with future worldly respected engineering and corporate firms. As a result, I could participate in important projects that define America’s cultural customs and acceptances. In addition, my goal in protecting innocent lives from treacherous disasters would become real.
a)We don't know who invented the boat. We do know, however, that almost as long as man has been civilized, he has been a sailor. The world's first boat was most likely a log used to carry the world's first sailor across a river. b)we dont know.
Though I have had many achievements and disappointments, one thing that I have always been proud of is my ardor for everything that I do. The Governor’s School for Science and Math offers a rigorous path to pursue, but it is the one that I have dedicated myself to for many years. GSSM opens up a myriad of new doors for me; it will provide me with opportunities some people would never even dream of. My lively personality will fit in perfectly with GSSM’s positive environment and, in spite of the necessary sacrifices, the reward far outweighs the cost. My dynamic personality will contribute to the society of The Governor’s School in various ways.
My parents perpetually encourage me to have a commitment to education, it enables knowledge, power, and freedom. They teach me to go after my dreams, and always remind me “Nothing comes easy, you must work hard for your goals.” When I first came to the U.S, I was too young to understand my educational disadvantages. Throughout the years, I relentlessly worked hard to excel in my academics, my persistence allowed me to consistently exceed expectations. In the spring of my freshman year, I was selected as a National Honor Society student by my school.

Looking back on this past year, my first year as a college student, it is amazing to see how much I have grown through my academic and personal life. I knew accepting admission at the University of Illinois for a mechanical engineering degree would mean that my schooling would be a bit more competitive and stressful, however, I am glad that I did it because my experiences here have been like no other. As I mentioned in my other essay, my goal is to receive an education that will allow me to get a job where I can positively impact the world. With my experiences from the past year in academia, I feel that I have learned how I can do just that. In fact, I believe that I would be the best possible candidate for the ASME Chicago Section Scholarship because I would be able to use it to
Leading off of first base, heart racing, twiddling my fingers and off I go. Long quick strides getting closer to my 23rd stolen base. But suddenly, tumbling down I go halfway to second base. Screaming from the gruesome pain on my knee, off the field to the disabled list I went. A “torn meniscus “were the words that led me to put me belief into practice once again in my life.
What I have learned from experience and how it impacted me First and foremost, being in the United States Marine Corps for over 22 years I have learned a lot from experience. I learned just like in the military, in my civilian job now I am always on duty.
The design challenges presented by my dream kindle my passion for engineering. As a female engineer, I anticipate encountering numerous obstacles in the pursuit of my career. Despite my passion and ambition, some will view me as less capable than a man. I refuse to let these obstructions crush my ambition.
Very similar to real life engineering, we are tasked with designing and constructing various projects based on a set of requirements or problems. I have always been incredibly successful in this class achieving high marks, and in grade 11 receiving the award for the highest mark for my grade. Although not a prerequisite for any engineering programs, I believe that it greatly benefits all potential engineering students. It puts our teachings into practice to solve real life situations, giving us a preview into the future as engineers. Scheduling conflicts prevented me from taking this great course in grade 12.
The principle reason that motivated me to pursue the MSc Project Management course is the appeal and challenge Project Managers experience in delivering assignments they undertake in their career. The qualification, indeed, lead to very smart and modern careers for graduates who love challenges, creativity, leadership and success. As a graduate of Mathematics, I have cultivated these features in my student life. Now, for my master level of study, I would like to take my chance of attaining formal skills in the area of project management. From my research, I see that Project Management is the application of skills, knowledge and techniques to meet the objectives of a project and stake holder’s expectations.
Dashrath Manjhi (1934– 17 August 2007), also known as Mountain Man, was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, who carved a path 110 m long, 9.1 m wide and 7.6 m deep through a hillock using only a hammer and chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55 km to 15 km. This is just one instance that illustrates the magic power of Civil Engineering in effecting radical social and economic changes. From the very outset, it is precisely this magic power of Civil Engineering that has fascinated me as a scientific discipline.
One of the most valuable things I learned was that success does not depend on the starting point, but on hard work and determination to attain heights and conquer goals. Arron was a bartender and he has worked hard to be where he is at now regardless of where he started from. The main determinant of success is the amount of effort you put into it and will power, that forces you to not give up. Another important factor is the urge to ask more questions and seek answers even when the answers are obvious. The questions could result in innovative
