I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I have dreamt about getting into IIT since I was a child. I knew that my family?s economic situation was not good but I studied hard and prepared for the IIT exam since class 9. I am very interested in science, because it will allow me to understand why things happen rather then what happened. I once read in a book that ?if you are given Rs 84,000 to spend in a day and don?t spend it will vanish. Then you would spend as much as you can. So if you have 86,400 seconds in a day you should make best use of it.? I was very much impressed and inspired by those lines. I completed my 10th class by getting 93%. Some of my friends went outside to receive IIT coaching but I was unable to afford that very big expense. But now I feel very happy as Dakshana foundation is helping students like me. Success is at the top we will reach it by way of ladder like the Dakshana foundation. However high we go will be with the help of that ladder. So I want to thank the Dakshana foundation.
