I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I have a dream to get into IIT. Since I have heard about IIT from the elders, I have promised them that I will become an IIT?ian. In the past my education was not of high quality, but the Dakshana foundation has brought a glittering ray of light in my darkness. Dakshana has collaborated with FIITJEE, the premier institute for IIT-JEE coaching. The teaching faculty is excellent. I am from a poor family and I know it would have been difficult for them to arrange money that is required for coaching. Dakshana has helped me a lot. I am very much thankful to Dakshana Foundation. I am like a seagull who wants to fly and fly up toward the sun to reach infinity. We can touch the sky though we are on the land without our wings. Anything can be achieved and we should not be satisfied with what we have. We want to test the real life. The IITs are an institute which have a name in the world. We should work hard to achieve the goal. I should get ed in IIT and I have to fulfil my desire.
