I have one elder sister who is a nurse at Guwahati, one younger sister studying in class eight , and two elder brothers. One of them is studying Hotel Management for the second year at Salt Lake, Kolkata and the other is at home just passing class seven. My father is a vet. PA, and my mother is a housewife. Even though my mother is a housewife, she encourages me to join this type of IIT-JEE online coaching.
I thank God for his help (he blessed me) in getting this precious online coaching done by Dakshana for students like us who have less money to join any private coaching institution. I heard about the Dakshana Foundation from class seven onward. I also want to join this, and luckily I fulfilled my desire in class six. Our principal sir, namely M.A. Muneed, did a lot for me to give knew information about all this. He told me to go to Rangia (Assam) to take this exam. He also gave his blessings as if I were his own daughter. All my teachers taught me, "Once you take this exam, you will save money. Also, you will surely get IIT-JEE entrance exam, if you have a will." So by all their courage, I worked hard and took this exam. I thank them all from the core of my heart.
I heard that the Dakshana Foundation produces good IIT-ans by providing good books and giving online coaching. If they only give us lectures, they also tests and go slowly. They are serving mankind by giving coaching for IIT-JEE and giving the future generation the hope that we all will become good to mankind and do good for the society. I think that they all have a very big dream for us. So I will try my level best to fulfill there dreams by doing hard work with sincerity.
I have wanted to become an engineer since childhood because in Manipur, they are fewer in number and they cannot do their work properly and regularly with their knowledge due to problems with immigrants. I have had this firm aim since childhood. If I fulfill this aim, all my family members, teachers, and even our village members will be happy. So I have to work very hard to reach my ambition. I have to forget all my relations with my parents, friends, etc., because if I remember them, I will not fulfill my aim. I may lose my concentration on my studies.
Both my parents have big hopes for me, since I am somewhat intelligent in comparison to my other brothers and sisters. But they want me to go into the medical line. Even my sister told me to go into the medical line, since she wanted to go into that line, but did not get any seat. So she tole me to go into that line. But my papa wanted me to be an IAS officer. I promised him I would become an IAS officer, but first, I would go to this IIT-JEE line. First, I will try to become an IIT-an. Only then will I go for IAS and give service to mankind.
I have interest in history and geography. But even though I have these interests, I did not take the Humanities stream. I took the science stream to become an engineer. My father told me to take the Humanities stream, but I refused him. But even though I chose the science stream, he supported me and gave me a lot of encouragement so as to develop my will-power and determination. I have a very strong determination to become an IIT-an in the future, after some years. So my first duty is to follow the lectures on the computer and then digest them, and apply that digested knowledge during the exam. I have full hope that this online coaching will be very helpful to us in reaching our aims.
I thank the Dakshana Foundation for selecting me to have this precious opportunity, since I belong to a poor family. My father is doing a government job for a small amount of money, and my parents cannot afford to send me to a private institution for such coaching because it costs so much.
