How did you feel about it?

Well, We all need help at some point in time in our lives. I also received help much time and help others too. When we help others, It makes us delightful and polite, also shows our behavior towards others. Today, I like to  talk about a time when I helped my bosom friend. I remember an incident when I was in 10th standard. I helped my needy friend who was my class fellow.

I assisted her because she was too much worried that she would fail in English subject this time if she did not improve her performance. As a best friend, it was my duty to help her.

I started devoting two hours every day with her. While teaching her, I realized that she was hardworking. She used to put her 100 % in studies by learning with determination, dedication, and discipline. But her efforts were not converting to fruitful results. After a week, I realized that her  English basics were unclear. For one week, I taught her basic grammar rules.

She had burnt midnight oil during this one week and gave her best. The process of learning the basics of English as a teenager is a bit boring, but I made it interesting for her. After that, her performance started improving, and she started getting good scores in the mock tests. She did three months of rigorous practice under my guidance. Although she was nervous while taking the exam, she passed it with 85%.

To be honest, I felt happy at that moment that feeling was extremely different which I never felt before. I realized that some things can give more happiness than eating chocolates. I felt myself on the ninth cloud by happiness.
