Male Female

Throughout my life, I have received so many prizes in many aspects of my life. It could be in studies, jobs, or any extracurricular activities. But today, I would like to speak about one particular prize that I received and that is very close to my heart. The prize I received was in the form of money. I received it last year. I remember I was traveling in an auto. I was going to my college that day, and an aunt was sitting beside me; she was also traveling with me in that same auto. The auto driver dropped her off before me, and I was on my phone. I was talking to my cousin at that time, and when the auto driver dropped her off, I didn't pay attention to the fact that she left her purse, which was sitting next to me. When I saw that her purse was there, I asked the auto driver whose purse it was, and then I realized it might be the purse of the same lady who was sitting beside me. So I tried my best to return this purse to her because I know one gets very stressed whenever they lose a precious belonging, which includes their cards, money, or any important information. I know it is not a good thing to touch anybody's card, but to help her, I had to. I opened her purse, found her ID, saw her name, and noted the address. I tried to call her, but she didn't pick up. So I went to the address, reached her home, and was standing outside. Luckily, she was coming from the other side, and I gave the purse to her. She appreciated me; she was very happy because she was so stressed about losing her purse and the precious belongings inside it. To appreciate my honesty, she gave me money as a token of appreciation. I tried not to take the money.
