 Introduction:   

Decision making makes our path clear. Several decisions could change something in your life, which gives you a unique identity and confidence. Today I am going to talk about the decision which I made to celebrate my nephew's birthday.

What was it?    

Birthdays are one of the most memorable things in everyone's life. Everyone celebrates it with their own wishes. Some arrange it so grandly by inviting all their neighbours, friends and all family members while others celebrate only with their family members. I decided to celebrate my nephew's birthday at an old age orphanage. 

When did  you make it?    

I made this decision a month before his birthday. One day I visited the old age home with my friends to donate some money. We met so many old people who were all  abandoned by their children. They felt very bad about their children, this made us feel low. On that day they heartfeltly blessed us with their happy tears. So I decided to celebrate his birthday on that day. He will get all the blessings from them.

What was the result?

   My family members were also happy about this decision. They also started to make all the  preparations for that day. We decided to provide food and clothes for them. So we ordered some clothes for another shop and  my mother and my sister decided to prepare food by themselves so we cooked  in that home and provided it.

Explain how you felt about it?   

On that evening once the celebration was over, all the old people held my nephew and  heartfeltly blessed him. My whole family members were happy to hear those blessings. Everyone in my family appreciates me for my decision. Everyone felt happy about it.

Conclusion: 

It is far better to celebrate our special days at those orphanages or children's orphanages because there are so many children and old agers are living without their parents and children. There are so many childrens are longing for good food for some day. We can consider it as a small help that we are doing.

Introduction:   

Sometimes a good decision gives a very good result, in this pandemic period we have to be more careful by  avoiding having outside foods. Today I am going to talk about the decision I have made to grow plants in my kitchen garden.  

What was it?  

 During this covid period everyone was afraid of buying products from outside. Though we buy it, we clean it with turmeric, salt. So I decided to plant some vegetables in my garden. Vegetables like tomato, brinjal, lady finger and some greens etc. are the vegetables which we can grow in our garden easily. This helped me a lot.

When did you make it?   

During this lockdown I brought all veggies and fruit from a vendor who delivers it to my home. A month after the lockdown I heard that he was also affected with corona. It makes me fear a lot. So I decided to grow the vegetable plant in my kitchen garden itself. May it take a few months to harvest but I waited for it. Once it grew up I used to cook with my fresh vegetables which are grown in my garden.

What  was the result?    

As I am living alone, it helped me a lot, it is more sufficient for one person. Daily  I used those vegetables only for my cooking. After that I just bought other groceries from outside.

Explain how you felt about it?  

Till this day I am using those veggies for my cooking. I felt happy to begin eating healthy food. I  have sugged my other friends and my parents to plant  like this. 
 After the lockdown was released , I visited my own house where my parents are living. I also planted some trees. 

Conclusion:   

Grow plants and start to plant some trees too. It will help you in critical situations like I faced. Save trees, it will save you.

Introduction:       

Sometimes, we decide things in a fraction of second which could alter our life. I have decided suddenly what I should do once I win the prize. Yes, I thought I would do something with the cash award which I won, so I decided to do this,which I am going to explain below.

 What was it?        

A  month ago I participated in a marathon and won Rs 50,000 rupees as a cash award. With that cash,  I have decided  to donate half of the amount  to children's orphanages, so I go with a choice of an orphanage near to my house. There were so many childrens who were living without any parental support so I planned to give some portion of the amount for their food and clothing expenses.

When did you make it?    

  In my college rotary club members were conducting this marathon for cancer awareness, I too participated in this marathon. The winning prize of this marathon is Rs 75,000 to the person who comes first, but placed as second so I won rupees 50,000. My father gave this idea to donate. 

What was the result?    

As I decided, I have given half of my winning amount to the orphanage which is near to my home. We went there and spent some time with those children and also we provided some snacks to those children whenever we went there. Orphanage team felt very happy with the donation. They use that money to satisfy the needs of the children and some groceries. 

Explain how you felt about it?  

Seeing the happiness in those children's faces made me happier  more than the time I won the prize. All my neighbours and friends appreciated me and supported me for the decision I made. It is one of the beautiful memories of my life.

Conclusion:   

Every parent should teach their kids to help others, it is a habit everyone should have. Don't see them as strangers, they are the kids who were abandoned by their parents. See them as our family members.
