So this one time when I was probably in tenth grade and my sister was in ninth standard, she was preparing for her final exams and she was struggling with a chapter known as triangles in mathematics. She came to me for help. But let me tell you a fact about me: I am really afraid of mathematics, and I find it intimidating. However, that particular chapter is something I enjoyed solving, so I volunteered to help her. When I did, it helped her understand the problems, and she started solving them on her own, which made her feel confident for her upcoming test. Explaining and teaching her how to solve a mathematics problem, coming from someone who is extremely afraid of it, is an achievement in my opinion. I felt really proud of myself for the fact that, although I was scared, I still tried to help her and succeeded. It made me realize that, after all, I'm not too bad at it, and I should probably give myself more credit.
