The park was green and peaceful, and the weather was perfect. We played games

decision was

Answer:
One difficult decision I made was choosing between two career paths—engineering
or management—after high school. I had good marks in science, so many people
advised me to go for engineering. However, my interest was in business and
communication.
I made the decision last year after a lot of
thinking and discussions with my family and teachers. It was difficult because
it felt like I was going against the common choice. I was worried about
disappointing people and making the wrong decision.
Finally, I chose to study management. After
joining college, I realized it was the right choice. I enjoy the subjects and
feel more motivated. It was a hard decision, but I learned that listening to
your own heart is important. It taught me to trust myself and have confidence
in my choices.

One day I felt really proud was when I won first place in a public speaking
competition at my college. It happened last year during an inter-college event.
I had never spoken in front of a big audience before, so I was nervous.
I practiced a lot and wrote a speech on “The
Power of Youth.” On the day of the event, my family and friends were there to
support me. When I went on stage, I was shaking at first, but then I gained
confidence and spoke clearly.
When my name was announced as the winner, I
was so happy and surprised. Everyone clapped, and my teachers congratulated me.
I felt proud because I had faced my fear and succeeded. That day showed me that
anything is possible if you prepare well and believe in yourself.

while I was walking home from school.
I offered to help, and she gratefully
accepted. We walked together, and I carried her bags to her doorstep. She
invited me in for tea and told me stories about her younger days. It was a
short moment, but it meant a lot to her.
After helping her, I felt really good. It

and blessed me, which made my day. Since then, I try to help people whenever I
can. That simple act taught me that kindness costs nothing but brings great
joy.
