I would like to describe a time when I helped someone. It happened a couple of years ago when I was a student and I helped one of my classmates. We were returning home from school on his bike. I was riding the bike and on the way his condition was getting worse and he told me that I should stop the bike on the side. I stopped the bike and he just suddenly lay down on the ground and told me that he felt dizzy and unfortunately I hadn't found out at the time. I just stopped people and hired a taxi to reach him to a hospital because I got very frightened because of his health. But anyway, after some time people gathered around him and one of them stopped his car and carried him to the hospital. After that he thanked me a lot and said to me that my help really meant the world to him. Anyway, this experience made me realize that helping others not only enriches their life but also gives you happiness and it also encourages me to help people in need because our little kindness can make a big difference for people.
