I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because it has been my dream ever since childhood. People desire what they cannot get and life is full of these stones. However, men always want which they can get with great difficulty. For my family and I it is impossible to afford world class IIT-JEE coaching. Before Dakshana came, I was in a dilemma what to do. I asked myself, ??Can I do something in my life??? It is by God?s grace that I passed this entrance exam. I would surely like to attend the classes for IIT. However, it is quite miserable to be so far from my parents. But it is the way in life that we have to separate like the moon from the day. I feel that my cherished desire has been fulfilled, not entirely but partly. Class room IIT coaching is not easy but I will accept it as is and all the hard work that is required. What the future holds for me I don?t know. My cherished dream will come true if I become an IIT?ian. To achieve something we sometimes have to give something up. I will try my best to succeed in my ambition. I would like to thank Dakshana foundation for giving me this wonderful opportunity. What is in the future, God only knows. Now I am preparing myself for further struggle in life. By attending IIT-JEE coaching one can appear and be successful in the IIT exam. This is why I would like to be a Dakshana scholar.
