I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my ambition in life is to discover and contribute something new to the world. Sometimes I ask myself silly questions of why we are here and what should we do in life. Once I thought of it deeply and received a reply from a supernatural power. I accepted it confidentially and decided to achieve that aim. For achieving this goal certain qualities were required that were unknown to me. I learned these qualities from different places and applied them to my studies from 11th standard onwards. These qualities are that of great desire and tremendous hard work. When I heard about the Dakshana scholar entrance test I became very excited because my aim to attend IIT was being fulfilled.
