I would like to share an incident that helped me grow in love with myself. I am basically a normal student. I get average marks. But in 10th I scored well in the beginning and after that I started getting low marks. So I got dissatisfied with my marks. So, I planned to study well with the help of friends. They gave me the idea to study. I basically omit questions whose answers are too big. But this time, I learnt an answer that is big and said the answer to my friend. He appreciated me for telling the answer well and said I could study well and encouraged me. I thought of what he said and I was happy and I got faith in myself and started studying all the answers that are big. Now, I am studying well and scoring good marks. After that incident, I grew in love with myself.

Hi I am Rohit. I grew in love with myself when I was studying in 3rd standard. During my small age I saw many seniors participating in athletic events and winning many medals, especially the individual championship trophy because it looks big in size. When I was studying in 3rd standard, it was my 1st year to participate in various competitions and sports. I had won prizes but all looked small in size. At that time, I decided to get that individual championship trophy and I also achieved it. It was a memorable moment. From that moment I have set a goal for myself to become an athlete in future and till now it is my only aim…

It was a fine day. I was returning home from school by cycle. Suddenly an unexpected incident happened. I met with an accident and had fractured my hand. I was admitted in hospital and had to undergo a major surgery. They inserted 3 metal wires in my hand to fit my bones correctly. I was frustrated. I thought those days were the worst days of my life. I lost all hope and I thought that I could never do any work (or) write using my hand. But my mother encouraged me to write. My hand pained a lot. Because of her encouragement I tried daily. When my hands were fully alright I tried to write. I was able to write in my old handwriting very well. It was paining a lot but I achieved my goal. I started to write again. This was the incident when I grew in love with myself for any determination and persistence.

On 21/06/2017 it was my 14th birthday. My uncle came to my house in the night. He woke me up and took me somewhere. I asked him where we were going. He said to a platform. There were many poor people starving for food and some were sleeping in the cold. By knowing this my uncle bought 45 bed sheets and dinner for 50 persons. He said he used to do this every 2 months. My uncle said “it’s your birthday today, so you give it to them”. I happily agreed and gave it to those people. They blessed me from their heart. I started to do this kind of social service to poor people. That incident helped me to grow in love with myself.

At the age of 11, I just knew to play shuttle. But, I didn’t know how to play with tactics. I didn’t know the taste of winning. So, I decided to win matches. But, I didn’t get a chance to win. So, without giving up I took it in a positive way and worked hard for the Success. Then a chance came to prove myself. The intramurals day came. My friend and I participated in the doubles match. Then, with a great confidence, we both played and won the runner – up place. That was, the incident that helped me grow in Love with Myself. From that moment, I loved sports and grew in love with myself too.

An incident that helped me grow in love with myself was when I became a headgirl. I never knew that I had the potential to take up that position. According to me, leadership was not about authority or rights but it is about for the cause of the community you lead. From my childhood, I’ve been a topper in academics and sports. But I was so scared to talk before a crowd mainly in English. I never had the confidence to stand alone no matter what happens or the courage to take the right decision. During a certain period of time, I got the passion towards learning English. I started singing in concerts, and before a larger congregation. Through the songs (English) I sang, I had the guts to stand up and give a speech. But now I’m totally a different person from my childhood as I have the courage to do what is right and stand alone for a good cause. This incident of becoming a head girl made me fall in love with myself.

Usually I speak aloud but whenever I climb up the stage, my mouth and brain shut and legs start to shake i.e. stage fear. Once I was given an opportunity of compering for the dance program of our school annual day. I just thought I won’t climb up the stage because I didn’t want to insult myself in front of a huge crowd. At the time of rehearsals itself I couldn’t do well and I thought within myself, that after this I won’t be given any such opportunities. But on that day I just did the best of mine and won the hearts of people. Mostly everybody complimented the way I spoke. Although I know I was shivering inside. This incident made me grow in love with myself. I started to think I can do anything as I started to love myself.

An incident that helped me grow in love with myself is when I realized that life is beautiful for the one who is having the ability to fight against their odds. About a month ago I was watching a YouTube video, in that video a girl of age 17 was handicapped. Even though I was not giving my fullest to listen to her, the one statement which she said influenced me was “Please don’t die before you are actually dead”. From this statement I realized that I should be a girl who influences the world to be a better world tomorrow. Even, I thought that I should enjoy and cherish each and every moment of life. Initially, I was a girl who had been always lazy to do any work and I didn’t have the will power to overcome it. I also thought that I should work on myself. From then I realized that each and every moment of life has its own significant meaning.

I was just 11 years old. My birthday was nearing. I was waiting upto that time. I was too naughty that I will not do my things on my own. After a while, I started thinking about myself. So I started helping my mom, dad. Once I saw a video describing a poor boy working in a construction site. We can call it child labor. He went to a restaurant and sat. He saw many people eating delicious food. But he didn’t have money. The manager chased him. Then he sat in another place. A lady who saw his appearance gave her food to the poor boy. He ate happily and went away. After seeing this video I felt that there are some people around me who need my help. From that time I started helping people who are in need. I thought, my parents have bought new dress for my birthday and inturn I felt I should offer them something. I helped them. On my birthday, my dad bought briyani and gave to poor people and orphanage children. I was feeling happy that I have started doing good things to others. This made me to grow in love with myself.
