The effect that someone I admire can have on my life

         Someone that I can admire in my life is my grandma. She was the wisest woman I had ever seen in my life. She had a little education, but she was a very smart woman. She gave me lot of valuable advice, which are always helping me in almost every step in my life.
       Here, I can tell a story about my grandma. In 2006, we suffered so much by the seasonal flood. There was water everywhere in my house and it caused a great damage. When water started to enter our house, we didn't have any idea what should we do in that situation. As water was rising gradually, we were too much shocked to think. Then my grandma advised us to put some brick under all the big tables and also under our beds. When we did so, she said us to place all the small furniture over the tables.
      As we placed the bricks under our bed, it got upward.  That's why we don't have to think our sleeping at night. My mom brought some dry food from the shop, so we didn't have to worry about food too. It was really wonderful to have such an wise woman with us at time of the extreme danger.
      She was also a good company. I always liked to chat with her. She had a lot of great experiences. I think I learned a lot of things from her. She taught me how to make embroidered quilt and many wonderful stitches also. She always had a great sympathy for me when I felt bad. She was a great inspiration for me.
      December 27,2009 was the worst day in my life. I lost my loving grandma in that day. I miss her very much all the time.

     I think, I lost her forever, but she left a great affectionate touch in my mind. I'll never forget her.

A time that I Feel Proud of Myself

                    It was Tuesday, a busy school day as well. All the students were standing in front of the national flag in our daily assembly. Suddenly Shahed and Mithu came to the schoolyard and they were panting and they looked like crying. Then we heard such a unexpected news that one of our classmate, Romana was in a road accident. I felt like a big thunder fall down over my head. Romana was my very close friend.
                  After hearing that shocked news, our Headmaster dismissed our classes after 2nd period. Some of our teachers went to the accident place with those two boys. After one & half hour, Mr. Kader came back and told us that Romana and her cousin were coming to the school with a Rickshaw (one kind of vehicle). A big truck was coming with full speed from the opposite side. As it was running speedily, it didn't obey the traffic signal. That truck pushed their Rickshaw and they fall down. Then the truck went over them and it vanished quickly.
                  It is a big sorrow to say that her cousin were spot dead. Another rickshaw puller who watched that accident said to Mr. Kader, " Whole road wept with their blood. One girl was screaming loudly and another one turned into flesh with in a eye splash".
               Romana was seriously injured and the doctors were anxious about her that she might lose her one leg. They said that she need extra care to recover the injury. In Bangladesh we don't have any health insurance. Unfortunately, her father was very poor. It 's pretty difficult to manage her all medical bill for him.
               But at this point our headmaster made a wonderful decision. " Romana is not only your daughter, but also our's. Have courage; we're beside with you. We'll try to help our best."
              In our school office our teachers opened a charity box for her. Many parents came to our school everyday to help that poor father. We also felt responsibility for our friend. We started to save money for her. Every day we went our school office and put our savings in that box. We also arranged a parents and students conference to collect money for her.
               After a month when she came back to us I felt very proud of myself. We were abled to save her precious life. It's the meaning of  'human' to me who should always help each other.
