I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because when I heard that I have ed for Dakshana scholar interview. I was very happy that like me who have frustrated after giving exam as more talented student of our school told that questions are very hard, and I think I will not get the expected marks when the other student told it is very difficult.

Though I have not taken the help of any reference books, I feel very happy of getting this opportunity. And other thing is that our teacher told, ?you should dream what you can.? after seeing your standard of living. But I feel very happy when I got this opportunity and also the dream of my junior student Priyasarathi, Dharama, Dibyajyoti and Chinmya who have given me the support to get this opportunity very much. And I feel I will sure to get this IIT which make fear of the student of our school and I want to give them encouragement through my family support. If I will get a chance than I can prove my dream my juniors and my parents standard of living.
