Well, there are a number of times when I have helped someone, but today I am going to describe a time when I helped my cousin. I remember it was about two years ago when I was doing my graduation in India. At that time, he was struggling with his mathematics subject. He was getting lower scores than he used to get in high school, which affected his opportunities for a good university. I was studying in the Mathematics and Science stream, so I was able to help him. It was a good experience for me as well. He was having trouble understanding some mathematical formulas and how they could be applied. Additionally, he was facing difficulties in solving questions. During that time, I helped him, and I felt very good about it because it was a valuable experience for me. Helping others after studying is also a great opportunity for me. In this life, it is important to help someone when you can.
