Describe a time you helped someone else
You can say:
– when it was
– where it was
– who you helped
– and how you helped them

A time that stands out when I helped someone was about two years ago, in the small park near our community center. It was a sunny afternoon in early spring, and I was there for a casual walk. That’s when I noticed an elderly lady, Mrs. Thompson, whom I recognized from my neighborhood. She seemed to be struggling with her groceries, looking quite overwhelmed.

I approached her and offered to help. She gratefully accepted, and I assisted her in carrying the heavy bags. We walked slowly to her house, which was a few blocks away. During our walk, she shared stories about her grandchildren and how she used to be more independent.

Helping Mrs. Thompson with her groceries might seem like a small act, but it felt significant to me. It was not just about the physical assistance; it was also about providing company and a listening ear to someone who needed it. This experience taught me the value of community and the impact of simple acts of kindness.
