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.
