Every student or person in this world has to have ambition. Without ambition in life a person becomes like a kite without a string. It will go where the wind will take it. My aim in life is to become an engineer. I have heard of so many types of engineering schools like ? AIEEE, ITT, and others. I think among them, the IIT?s are the best. The IIT?s are one of the best institutes of the world after MIT and Caltech. Engineering produced by IIT are very good technicians. That is why I would like to attend IIT.
The IIT examination is different from other entrance examinations. It is held at the 12th standard level. At 12th standard it is the most difficult exam. To clear this exam, one needs coaching in 11th and 12th class. To clear this exam without coaching is very difficult. But coaching requires money. However, my family?s income is not very high. My father is a poor hawker. It is not possible for him to give me the facility for coaching. I want to achieve my aim and so I will become a Dakshana scholar. I can receive coaching in 11th and 12th class and go on to become a good engineer. I want to serve India, one of the best countries in the world in the field of science and technology. May god fulfill my dreams.
