I'd like to become a Dakshana Scholar and hopefully attend IIT because, from my lower class I have the hope for IIT. I would like to become an IITian till now. I have this hope because in this world of science & technology, IITians are very prefer by big companies and others in the field of technology. Not only this, check with any global corporate giant, at least one among their top ten people would be an IITian. Check with any Indian big company, again one among its top four utives would be an IITians.

In my hope for becoming an IITian, I got distraction in my mind in my class IX session at the beginning. This problem was the only ?money?. In our classroom at Class-IX, our maths teacher said that in the preparation of IIT-JEE coaching is very necessary. In this coaching, a lot of money is required. But in my family, no one can earn money other than my elder sister. I lived with my mother and my elder sister only. My mother has no occupation she can?t do any work because of her weakness in eye. My sister is a teacher of lower class. She works in a small private school at our local area. She got Rs. 3000 per month. At my class IX, I think that there was no means for becoming an IITian according to our family conditions. Any I try to change my aim but I couldn?t forget it. My mother advised me, ?if you trust in God, then one day you will help by him?. So I prayed God daily for giving me a way to get my goal.

In class-X of mine, one day our principal gave a speech about the Dakshana Scholarship. By hearing that news, I feel very glad and thanked God again & again. At that time I returned my aim with very great full support of our school principal speech. I think that ?Dakshana? is ?a messenger sending by God for giving a great full power to the students belongs to poor family in their preparation of IIT-JEE.

Now, I hope that if Dakshana live for us then I can compete with other students who belong to rich family in IIT-JEE. As far as possible I will try in my best level to get my goal of IIT. I strongly believed that one day the Dakshana would become a famous IITians producer and get progress after few years. Lastly I thanked the Dakshana and wish you all the best.
