Well, I think that every person is weaker at something. It might be, uh, in weaker at some, uh, at some subject or add some skills. Well, here, I’m going to tell, uh, about a time when I had taught, uh, to a younger person, That’s one other than my cousin, Robbie. Um, actually, I’m good at mathematics, and I had I am also good at it. I have also strong mathematical foundations. Uh, I had helped my, uh, many friends of mine and my friends, uh, things that I could teach mathematics better than that teacher. Actually, uh, he went our house in, uh, last summer vacation, and he was traveling at the mathematical problems. And he really want that I should help him. Moreover, his mother had told him that I had had to, um, uh, many friends of mine Uh, we had took many tuitions and, uh, but he couldn’t get any improvement. Uh, it was because he was lacking in the basic concepts firstly, I taught him the basic concepts. And, uh, I think that his math foundation was not too strong. He was not able to understand even the simple calculations. Uh, uh, I was really, uh, I I thought that, uh, math was not a cup of tea form, uh, cup of tea for him. Uh, as Uh, but I, uh, but had told told him that he should be determined and patient, and he should do practice every day to improve his mathematics. Day after day, he’s, uh, improvement, uh, inclined, and he was able to solve math problems, uh, with the, uh, with, uh, with himself, and he could really understand understand the maths concept quite easily. Uh well, I had taught him about the algebra the calculus and uh-uh many other, uh, other maths concept. Actually, you want to do engineering in future. And I think that without mathematics, uh, he could have, uh, uh, would find it hard to do. Uh, so, uh, uh, so actually when her when I had taught him, you always thank me for that because he he had achieved quite good grades in class 10th mathematics, and he is now pursuing He’s a 12 class with nonmedical strain. Uh, well, I think that it was a best uh, best time for me. I had, uh, that I had really helped someone. I was really over the moon that I had I was really helped, uh, some, uh, some

I believe everyone has areas where they struggle. It could be a subject, a skill, or anything. I'd like to share a time when I taught something new to a younger person, someone other than my cousin, Robbie. I'm good at math, and I have a strong foundation in it. I've helped many friends with math, even teaching them better than their teachers. One summer, a friend of mine came over. He was struggling with math problems and really wanted my help. His mother had told him that I had tutored many friends, but he wasn't seeing any improvement. He was lacking in basic concepts. I realized his math foundation wasn't strong, and he couldn't even grasp simple calculations. I thought math might not be his forte, but I encouraged him to be determined and patient, urging him to practice daily to improve. Day by day, he showed improvement, and he was able to solve problems independently. He started to understand math concepts more easily. I taught him algebra, calculus, and other math concepts. He wants to pursue engineering in the future, and I knew that without a strong math foundation, he would find it difficult. When I finished tutoring him, he thanked me profusely because he had achieved excellent grades in 10th-grade math. He's now in 12th grade, pursuing a non-medical stream. It was a truly rewarding experience for me. I was overjoyed to have helped someone. It was a time when I felt I truly made a difference.
