I have been staying in the same school since my primary and secondary school life. I have been really familiar to the environment of the school and I know how to use all the facilities. One day my teacher hoped that I could teach a new student to use all the facilities in the school and help him to be more familiar with the environment. I agreed to help him and that new student is a transfer student from another school and he is a bit timid and nervous at the same time so he is not so willing to talk and so do I. I tried to make the atmosphere not so embarrassing so I asked him some questions so we can break the ice. We talked about some hobbies that we like and I asked him why he entered the school and he told me that he thinks that my school is having great teachers and I do think so. I told him everywhere about the school as the school is not very large so we only take a period of time to let him become so familiar with this area. It is not very large and after I helped him I felt really comfortable because I think I have the ability to help others so I am more stronger than I used to be and that’s why I like helping others in the future.

I have been at the same school since my primary and secondary school years. I am very familiar with the environment of the school and know how to use all the facilities. One day, my teacher hoped that I could teach a new student how to use all the facilities in the school and help him become more familiar with the environment. I agreed to help him, and that new student is a transfer student from another school. He is a bit timid and nervous, so he is not very willing to talk, and neither was I. I tried to make the atmosphere less awkward, so I asked him some questions to break the ice. We talked about some hobbies we like, and I asked him why he chose this school. He told me that he thinks my school has great teachers, and I agree. I told him everything about the school, as it is not very large, so it only took a short time for him to become familiar with the area. After I helped him, I felt really comfortable because I believe I have the ability to help others. I feel stronger than I used to be, and that's why I enjoy helping others in the future.
