I always love to help people and I have helped many people throughout my life. But here I want to share about the experience when I helped my friend. So we were together in our college and she was really sick and she wasn’t able to come to the college and she missed many of the important lectures because exams were coming nearby. So it was a time when she was requiring me and I helped her. I said to her that I will be sharing all the notes and all the important points, topics that are covered by our teacher. So every day when I was coming back home from the college I was calling her and then I was discussing with her that this is important topic taught today. This was the thing like the more putting emphasis on and these are some of the papers I have downloaded. You can have a look because she wasn’t able to go through all the lessons by herself. She was sick and admitted to a hospital so I was making notes. I was pulling out the questions, the previously asked questions from the paper and I was making the answers as well and providing her so that she can get an idea that what is the format of writing an example and how she can do it. And it was a time she was really going through the dark phase of her life. She was in a difficult phase of her life and I thought that I should really help her and if I help her it would be a blessing for me that I help somebody rather than not helping somebody. But that was really a nice experience when I felt that I was a useful resource for somebody and she also cleared the exams. After the exam she really scored good and she really thanked me whatever I have done for you and it really made my day that I was really a useful resource for somebody and the smile on her face was giving a joy on my face as well and I was on cloud nine when I heard that she is a good person.

I always love to help people, and I have helped many people throughout my life. But here I want to share the experience when I helped my friend. We were together in college, and she was really sick. She wasn't able to come to college and missed many important lectures because exams were coming up. It was a time when she needed me, and I helped her. I told her that I would share all the notes and important points on the topics covered by our teacher. Every day when I came back home from college, I called her and discussed the important topics taught that day. I emphasized what was crucial and shared some papers I had downloaded for her to review since she couldn't go through all the lessons by herself. She was sick and admitted to the hospital, so I made notes, pulled out previously asked questions from past papers, and provided her with answers so she could understand the format of writing an example and how to approach it. She was going through a dark phase in her life, and I thought that I should really help her. I felt that if I helped her, it would be a blessing for me to assist someone rather than not helping at all. It was a nice experience to feel that I was a useful resource for someone, and she cleared her exams. After the exams, she scored well and thanked me for everything I had done for her. It truly made my day to know that I was a useful resource for someone, and the smile on her face brought me joy as well. I was on cloud nine when I heard that she had done well.
