Let me talk to you about a situation when I helped someone. After my graduation, I went with my family three years ago to my grandfather's house to celebrate my graduation and also his 87th birthday. I consider my grandfather a hardworking person, and I feel over the moon every time I go to see him. As a matter of fact, my grandfather lives alone after his wife passed away, and I used to help him with buying groceries and taking out the rubbish. In addition, I feel I'm on cloud nine because my grandfather always gives me some money every time I help him. He used to tell me stories from when he was a young man, about his travels to Europe and his master's and PhD studies. I consider this experience a positive development in my life, and I wish to do it again in the future when I have time. Thank you.
