Well, I learned numerous things in my childhood from my loved ones. And if I have to talk about a skill I learned, it would be cooking, which I learned from my best friend, Simon. I vividly remember that when I was in fifth grade, my mother was suffering from malaria. I felt very down because there was no one in my family who could cook for us. My mother was also hungry, and I didn't know anything about cooking. But then, I called my friend Simon, who knew about cooking because her mother was a cook. She started teaching me how to cook. First, she taught me some basic cooking skills, which are essential for everyone and an important part of our diet. She taught me how to cook rice, chapatis, and I remember the first time I cooked rice. I boiled the rice and cooked the lentils for my family. It was a very satisfying and rewarding experience. My family members gave me lots of compliments, and I gave all the credit to my friend. She taught me that skill. At first, it was very difficult for me because I was not comfortable in the kitchen. But I remember that after putting in a lot of effort, my friend told me to avoid giving up. She also suggested I watch some YouTube videos to learn more about cooking. Overall, it was a very empowering experience for me. Cooking is a very important skill in everyone's life, and everyone should learn it. If we go anywhere outside our home, it would be helpful for us to be able to prepare food for ourselves.
