Personal Statement Of Purpose: A Career As A Race Driver

SOP 1

As a child, I wanted to be a race driver because I loved race cars and their sheer speed. In the process of growing up, I realized, all my dreams were leading me to a similar path. The future I have decided for myself is not just a casual choice but has emerged from the experiences of different stages of my childhood. This includes many small but decisive experiences, like always selecting creative and mechanical games. I have often played and worked on toy cars and drones and many a times successfully disassembled the lights from these toy cars and installed them on other toys and cycles.

I do remember that recently, I was out with my dad on his business trip to checkout an old machine. The machine was old and had starting troubles.

I was a really loved student right from my childhood. I could make out what people would expect from me. I’ve always worked hard to prove myself. I am sincere, dedicated and honest. Coming to my accomplishments, I have won three best behavior awards, out of which one of them has been during my time at the senior school. With regards to my field of interest, I have taken part in a lot of activities. I actively take part in various science exhibitions in schools such as the G4 project and science seminars. As an IBDP student, I had to conduct lots of experiments related to surface tensions, AC and DC motors, pendulums and also design our own personal investigations. I also helped others in their projects and investigations which added on to my experience in the subject. During one of my projects, I had to design a highly efficient transformer. I tried hard for many hours but was unable to design it. This experience motivated me to pursue my under graduation in mechanical engineering in order to finally design it. I am a Grand Master in abacus. I also got a chance to represent my school in the south zone and national tournaments for chess and also represented my school chess team as a captain. Table tennis, football and lawn tennis are a few sports I have tried to master at different stages of my childhood. Book reading is another hobby which keeps me occupied during my relaxing and free hours. I am an ardent public speaker and have won many speaker awards at my toastmasters club. I have also taken part in many other social services. With my friends, we have taught maths and other subjects to children of our school’s support staff. I have also taught drawing to children from many special care
