Well, in this current era, everyone needs help in some sort of activity. It might be related to their academics or it might be related to any uh, household chores. Here I would like to just say about um, the help that I had given to someone that is none other than my cousin. Actually. My cousin was suffering, uh, suffering um, suffering back suffering from bad scores in mathematics. So he won’ to improve that. He knew that I had high sc. Good marks in mathematics and even though I had helped many friends of mine. So his mother had told him that um. And that uh, he can take help from me. So when he came to our home in summer vacation, I used to uh, taught him 4 hours every day in evening. Uh, firstly I thought that uh. It could be quite easy task for me. But then I. When I uh, started teaching him, I thought that it was not, not a piece of cake, actually. He lacks important concepts and even though basic uh um, basic ideas u uh. Even though in basic ideas even not he was not so strong. He lac in uh. Like in calculating the sample mathematical numbers. And I thought that I need to do uh. U need to do a lot of hard work to make him clear. So I started with simple topics and day by day I really believe that his understanding goes on clarifying more and more. So uh, I taught him some basic concepts like algeatri and calculus, which had really helped me, helped him a lot. Uh. Actually I motivated him to work hard and solve many practice papers. And eventually his score was aring day by day. I was really over the moon when I. When uh. When I um uh. Know about. When I um. When I knew about his result. Actually he had scored highest marks in mathem mathematics. It was a subject he was fearing from. But after my help, he had gradually improved his performance. All in all, this was a situation when I helped someone and I really felt uh. Really felt glad after helping him and him and I thought that uh uh uh.

Everyone needs help sometimes, whether it's with academics, household chores, or anything else. I'd like to share a time when I helped my cousin. He was struggling with math and wanted to improve his grades. He knew I had a strong understanding of the subject, and his mother suggested he ask me for help. During summer vacation, he came to our house, and I spent four hours each evening tutoring him. Initially, I thought it would be easy, but I quickly realized it wasn't a simple task. He lacked fundamental concepts and struggled with even basic ideas, particularly when it came to calculations. I knew I had to put in a lot of effort to help him understand. I started with simple topics and gradually built up his understanding. I taught him basic concepts like algebra and calculus, which proved to be very helpful. I also encouraged him to work hard and practice regularly. His scores steadily improved, and I was overjoyed when I learned about his results. He had achieved the highest marks in math, a subject he used to fear. After my help, he had significantly improved his performance. This experience taught me that even small acts of kindness can have a positive ripple effect in the world. It was incredibly rewarding to help my cousin overcome his challenges and see him succeed.
