<p>greetings and please accept my thanks for your response
it is nice of you to share your time with me by your reply.
to answer your question </p>
<p>1.Why does he want to go to MIT and MIT only?
when we were searching in the net where to go and which college?
we came across MIT and upenn
with MIT, their mission with vision
we were thunderstruck. it was exhilarating moment when we read their Mission
which was stated in their website:
“The essence of MIT is our appetite for problems-especially those big, intractable, complicated problems whose solutions make a permanent difference. While MIT is a research university committed to world-class inquiry in math, science, and engineering, we have equally distinguished programs in the architecture, the humanities, management, and the social sciences. A diverse, supportive campus environment-with an incredible range of student groups and athletic and fitness opportunities-ensures that it’s not all about the work. And in MIT’s intensely creative atmosphere, the arts flourish in all their forms.”</p>
<p>yes this made us to be obsessed with MIT
"“The essence of MIT is our appetite for problems-especially those big, intractable, complicated problems whose solutions make a permanent difference.” to the betterment of the world.</p>
<p>Coming to 2nd question</p>
<p>2.What happens if he doesn’t get into MIT? If he is motivated and hard working, he will still do well at other schools that may not be his first choice.?</p>
<p>we will try our best, in fact it is a mountain task with my country which is growing to meet the challenge of population
and emerging economy out of recession</p>
<p>my son is brilliant we have no complaints.
only nagging question at this moment is FINANCE TO MEET THE TUTION FEES which are quite high. 37k for out-of-state student. per year.
we will strive every energy of ours to arrange the money, even at the cost of self.
we are joyfully ready to forgo all the comforts and be happy about it
in order to meet our wonder son aspiration
we are committed to his well being</p>
<p>we will do what ever possible , nothing will be left unasked, unturned</p>
<p>we trust in destiny? and above all my Blissful son has 'burning desire" to excel in his chosen field. i feel honestly he will pass through effotlessly, in fact it will be effortless effort for him</p>
<p>in his Desk top monitor my son has written these words.</p>
<p>"if some one can do it , u can also do it,</p>
<p>if no one can do it. u must do it</p>
<p>if not now , then when?</p>
<p>if not you, then who?"</p>
<p>and he has changed the word of the king solomon
which used to be
"This too shall pass
To
This too will pass</p>
<p>emphasising that every thing will and must change</p>
<p>we aim for the stars. let us be with positive hope
rest is in the hands of Universal Power. which has guided us to see the message of MIT and i am positive it will lead us there, for we trust
Existence always say "thathasthu’ the meaning is as you wish,.so it shall be
it will grant us what we deeply desire
seen the tv doucmentary called "THE SECRET’
Friend in the end we have to compromise , life is about flexiblity, look at our life we want the best but we have to make an honest effort.
we will do our best rest is in the hands of the Lord.
let us look forward with hope
