        My purpose for applying to graduate school is to both expand on my
existing knowledge and to create additional opportunities for myself in the
future.  I believe that graduate school will prepare me for a successful and
challenging career in the aerospace industry.
        Even though I have chosen dynamics as my field of specialization, I
am keeping my mind open to other areas of aerospace so that I do not limit
myself.  I am currently working at JPL in an academic part time position and
I believe that this first hand experience will clarify my future educational
needs and directions.
        While attending UCLA, I have had a number of part time positions,
which included being a computer consultant, AutoCAD operator, and a lab
for the Non-Destructive Evaluation Laboratory at UCLA.  My diverse
work experiences have given me a better understanding of what opportunities
are available to me.  There is so much that I would want to learn and under-
stand.  I have always been fascinated with the space program, and some day,
I want to be instrumental in operating in the space program.
        I have wanted to be an engineer ever since my father shared with me
some of his published engineering ariticles.  I have always been a hard worker
and have shown that I can handle a diverse work load incoporating work and
college intocollege into my schedule.
        I believe that UCLA can provide me with the tools to succeed in the
aerospace industry.  I have enjoyed attending UCLA as an undergraduate student
and would enjoy being a graduate student here as well.
