A moment when I had to be creative to solve an issue was organizing a birthday party for my brother. A few months ago, in January 2015, it was the month of my brother Tabith's birthday. He turned 7 years old in January, so we needed to organize a birthday party to celebrate the occasion. My mother hired someone to organize the birthday party program. However, the person became sick and didn't come to our house to do all the work. I became very frustrated and exhausted after learning this, so I needed to take responsibility for organizing the birthday party. I immediately went to the market and bought all the necessary items to decorate our house. After buying everything, I watched a lot of videos on how to decorate our house. With help from YouTube, I managed to decorate our house. After the decoration, the atmosphere of our house looked very nice, and all the relatives were really happy to see the decorations. Even my brother loved it a lot. I felt very relieved after solving the problem.
