We all ask for assistance at a particular time in our lives. I have also sometimes been helped and I also serve others. Helping people makes me happy and kind and demonstrates the uh, attitude towards everyone else. Here I’d like to describe a circumstance in which I helped a friend with his submission when I was, uh, in 9th standard. My brother, and he is my best friend also. That’s why I called. I called him as a friend. So my brother um, Muhammad got hit by a car while returning from school and he was a prescribed strict bed rest since, uh, he had a fracture in his two hands for 21 days. My parents were concerned that he would not be able to complete his ongoing project due to their educational background in commerce. Um, my parents were unable to complete his project, uh, science project, actually. So therefore I began making, uh, his project in his presence as he had a clear strategy for how the project involving the uses of uh, kinetic energy would function. After over two weeks of cooperation, the project was eventually competed and he was extremely pleased with my efforts. Fortunately, the project owned the award for the most innovative project in the class and both he and my parents thanked me for helping him during his difficult period. Um, by helping him, I got to see the smile on his face which brought me, uh, great happiness. I was so happy that I felt like I was flying on my wings. Uh, initially I had no idea that my actions in helping him would have a much further effect. I’m happy and grateful that I can help him in his important time.

We all need help at some point in our lives. I've been fortunate to receive assistance, and I also enjoy helping others. It brings me joy and shows kindness and empathy towards everyone. I'd like to share a time when I helped a family member, my brother, who is also my best friend. When I was in 9th grade, my brother, Muhammad, was hit by a car while walking home from school. He was prescribed strict bed rest for 21 days due to a fracture in both of his hands. My parents were worried that he wouldn't be able to complete his ongoing science project because they have a background in commerce and couldn't help him with the technical aspects. So, I took it upon myself to help him. He had a clear vision for his project, which involved the use of kinetic energy, and I worked alongside him, making sure he was involved in every step. After two weeks of collaboration, we finished the project, and he was incredibly grateful for my support. The project even won the award for the most innovative project in the class! Both he and my parents thanked me for helping him during that difficult time. Seeing the smile on his face brought me immense happiness. It felt like I was flying! Initially, I didn't realize the impact my actions would have on him. I'm happy and grateful that I was able to help him during such a crucial time.
