I would like to talk about a person who has left a lasting impression on me. I clearly remember the first time we met. Her name was Shruthini. About two years ago, we went to our local store at the same time. At the time there was a new seller in the shop. The new shop assistant was rude and unhelpful. In addition, he was saying the prices were higher than usual. I got very angry and I nearly had a serious fight with the seller. But at the time, Ginny stopped me. She explained to the shop assistant that he should be friendly with customers and said that the price hadn’t been expensive before. Overall, I admired her because she was patient and this habit left an unforgettable impression on me. I learned from her to stay calm in different situations and solve problems with a positive attitude. I think difficult experiences with people can leave a strong impression on us. The big reason is that you can learn something necessary from these experiences.
