I remember that last semester there was a classmate that needs some help with a new software that have been introduced by a new teacher at university. So first of all, I explained how the software works and then I recommend my classmates some tutorials that help me to learn how to use that software first. Then I give some tips and I remember that the computer of my classmate was damaged and the software doesn’t run. So I let my computer to him and he was so grateful with me because you know we are in the last of the semester and he was so nervous because he thinks that he will lose the subject but The way that I try to help him is to come to say him that he have to come down, he have to breath, and if he work like that, the work will not have the better results. So he have to relax and take a breath to make the work as better as he can. Then I remembered that he invited me to eat something because he was so so happy because at the end of the semester the teacher gave him a fight that is like the best node you can go there. So I remember that at that time I felt so like a spy because I helped him. And in the other semester I have like the same issue and he like gives me back the favor I do to him. So that will be an excellent example to use if you are asking me how I help somebody.

I remember that last semester there was a classmate who needed some help with a new software that had been introduced by a new teacher at university. So first of all, I explained how the software works, and then I recommended my classmate some tutorials that helped me learn how to use that software initially. Then I gave some tips, and I remember that my classmate's computer was damaged, and the software wouldn't run. So I lent him my computer, and he was very grateful to me because we were at the end of the semester, and he was nervous because he thought he would fail the subject. The way I tried to help him was to tell him that he needed to calm down, breathe, and if he worked like that, the results would be better. So he had to relax and take a breath to do the work as well as he could. Then I remembered that he invited me to eat something because he was so happy that at the end of the semester, the teacher gave him a grade that is like the best mark you can get. So I remember that at that time, I felt really good because I helped him. In the following semester, I had a similar issue, and he returned the favor I did for him. So that will be an excellent example to use if you ask me how I helped somebody.
