STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.” –

Swami Vivekananda

I strongly believe in the statement that perfection is already there in man, inherent in his heart and
soul. And education is the medium through which we are able to manifest that perfection in us.

My Love for Computers -- My Dream Career

A fascination for Science and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to
take up Engineering. I chose to major in Computer Science and Information Technology with an
intense urge to delve deeper into this challenging field. This century can be credited with have given
birth to many ideas, visions, ways of living and working. It can be credited with almost as many
revelations of thoughts and practices. One of this faith in technology as the panacea of all the
problems of mankind and a means to human progress. Perhaps our age will be known as the
Information Revolution or the Computer Revolution, for we are witnessing a remarkable growth and
development of computer and information technology and applications. I have learnt various
fundamentals of Computer Science and information technology, which together with practical course
work reinforced my interest.

In a world, which moves at the click of the mouse, the best blessing one could be bestowed with is
the understanding of COMPUTER SCIENCE. I have been among the privileged few who have
jumped into this endeavor. For me Computer is the nervous system of the modern world where in
everything form business to shopping to discoveries takes place at the hit of the key. It has been both
the market value and professional satisfaction that has driven me towards it.

Why the USA?

Knowledge and proper training are essential to succeed in today's highly competitive world. The best
place where I can achieve this is in the United States of America - the undisputed leader in
developing new products and processes. Not only is the USA the birthplace of my chosen field of
study, it has also nurtured it for its full growth and continuous development.

Areas of Interests:

Excellence in any sphere of life can be achieved through hard work, dedication and perseverance.
The field of the mathematics gave me the initial boost to comprehend the logic behind every
discovered and undiscovered thing in life. My proclivity towards COMPUTER GRAPHICS field
developed in my years at under Graduate College. I take a keen interest in Networking and Database
Management Systems. I am also interested in Internet Technologies and Web Designing.

. I am currently working on a project using DBMS, VB and java.

Skills I have mastered:

I have a strong command on languages like C, C++, COBOL, HTML, Visual Basic, Visual C++,
Java and DBMS like ORACLE 8i. I have worked on various platforms - i486, Pentiums with the
operating systems – UNIX, Windows 9x/Me/NT and MS-DOS. I am also comfortable with various
applications software like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Flash and Adobe Photoshop.

Besides academics, I take a keen personal interest in music, painting, sports and poetry. I am a
violinist, a certificate holder from Sri Pottisriramulu university of arts-Andhra Pradesh .I bagged
awards in several music competitions (all 1st prizes). I bagged the 1st prize consecutively for 3 years
in our college in music competitions. I also gave performances at many institutions, in A.I.R (All
India Radio), in television. I even taught violin for 3 years for nearly 20 students, who r now good
violinists themselves.

PROFESSIONAL AREA OF INTEREST:

The old adage "A picture is worth a thousand words” is certainly true. Computer Graphics allows
communication through pictures, charts, and diagrams a vital alternative to the typewriter's string of
symbols.

I always had a fascination for animation and computer-aided design and this has motivated me to
pursue a carrier on Computer Graphics. I strongly believe that through COMPUTER GRAPHICS
computer has become a new tool for artist and animator. For me learning Computer Graphics would
mean both satisfy both my personal and professional goals. I would like to pursue a course that not
only supplements the knowledge that I possess but also provides a strong foundation to my research
oriented study. Through my graduate education I wish to specialize and gain expertise in my chosen
area of Computer Engineering and work in Computer Graphics. My ultimate goal is to be an active
member in the fast growing world of Computer Science as an important part of tomorrow's
Computer Graphics field.

The reason why I want to study at your esteemed university is that it provides the kind of exposure
needed to broaden my thinking and undo any insular prejudices that might be still prevalent in me.
Your university is a confluence of people from every culture, nationality, religion, race and Ideology,
I am sure that my exposure to these kinds of diverse influences would aid in the overall development
of my personality and help me broaden my concept form the narrower confines of nationalism to
internationalism. I am eagerly looking forward to become a part of the intellectual family residing at
the university; and if I become one, I'll try to bring the best out of my Institute in terms of academic
excellence. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing my dream come true.

Thank you for the opportunity given to me to express myself.
