One day or the other, everyone makes a promise with someone. A promise is actually a way to tell other that yes, I will help you at a particular time or yes, I am there for you always. Similarly, I make promises with my friends or with my family and every time I fulfill my promises. The last time I remember I made a promise was when I made a promise to my friend. That was one month before our final exams. My friend was very stressed about the exams. She was unable to understand the sleepers as it was a lot of sleepers. She was unable to cover the sleepers properly and was unable to understand. It was because she was unable to come to the college for about two months because of her illness. She was very stressed about the exams but I promised her that I will help her with the exams. I will help her understand the things, make them clearer and will help her to pass her exams. Similarly, before our exams, when we got our preparatory leaves, I daily take some time from my schedule to help her. I explained her every task in easy ways so that she can understand it very quickly. She also worked very hard for that period of time and also both of us did very well in the exam. When the results appeared, she was very happy and she got very good grades. She thanked me that it was because of my help. But I thought that it was a promise that I made to him as she is my friend so she is one of my closest person. So I told her that it is nothing. It was just a mere help that I did. But she was happy that I fulfilled my promise and helped her with her studies and helped her got very good grades in her exams.

One day or another, everyone makes a promise to someone. A promise is actually a way to tell others that yes, I will help you at a particular time or yes, I am there for you always. Similarly, I make promises to my friends and my family, and every time I fulfill my promises. The last time I remember making a promise was when I promised my friend. That was one month before our final exams. My friend was very stressed about the exams. She was unable to understand the syllabus as it was a lot to cover. She was unable to cover the syllabus properly and was struggling to understand. This was because she had been unable to come to college for about two months due to her illness. She was very stressed about the exams, but I promised her that I would help her with the exams. I would help her understand the material, make it clearer, and help her pass her exams. Similarly, before our exams, when we got our preparatory leave, I took some time from my schedule every day to help her. I explained every topic in easy ways so that she could understand it quickly. She also worked very hard during that period, and both of us did very well in the exam. When the results came out, she was very happy and received very good grades. She thanked me, saying it was because of my help. But I thought that it was a promise I made to her as she is my friend and one of my closest people. So I told her that it was nothing. It was just a simple help that I provided. But she was happy that I fulfilled my promise and helped her with her studies, enabling her to achieve very good grades in her exams.
