Polished transcript:

Male Female

The relative that I helped recently is my cousin named Sima. She was having a dilemma about choosing the stream to take after her 10th standard. She had just passed her 10th standard with good grades. Although she preferred the medical stream, she was mostly inclined towards non-medical fields. Previously, she scored good marks in mathematics, and she believes that she has a plethora of opportunities if she opts for non-medical, but her heart wants to follow the medical field as she wants to become a doctor. When she came to ask me about what option would be the most suitable for her, I told her to follow her heart. I helped her by boosting her confidence and motivated her to consider what stream she wants to study. She thanked me by hugging me and asked me to support her in any situation. She has now decided on her studies, and I believe she will achieve her ambitions without any obstacles. So, that was the person I helped.
