Sample Answer

There are several people who I believe are born with incredible leadership qualities. A person who is confident, bold, and possesses quick decision-taking qualities can be termed a leader. One of my friends named Gaurav is a good leader and has all these qualities. He is my childhood buddy and has always excelled in every activity. In fact, he was the head boy of our school. He was quite straightforward and clear in representing his views and opinions. During our cultural event at school, we got into some mess and were extremely scared to put it forward to the school authority. Gaurav took the matter into his own hands, boldly shared the issue, and got it resolved. He has the ability to supervise the group efficiently without being unfair. Presently, he is serving at an MNC as a project leader, where he is leading a team of 150 employees. He started there as an operational executive, but seeing his hard work and efficient leadership skills, he got promoted. I feel proud to be his friend and wish to learn a lot from him.

I guess, I inherited this interest from my grandfather who would always share stories related to planets and stars. He used to work at the space research team in India. My grandfather has narrated to me the numerous benefits of sky gazing. According to him, if anyone is searching for peace, calm, and a sense of purpose during this period of immense chaos, sky gazing proves to be the best alternative as it helps to our minds and rejuvenate our spirits. Apart from that, it makes us more compassionate towards others. I can easily recall many incidents when I would observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observed the stars alone. It was in 2021, I used to work as an accountant in a company. I had a hectic day at work and was completely drained out. After having dinner I went straight to the terrace where I usually have a stroll. I plugged in earphones and tuned into my favorite song. While walking I was gazing at the sky. Meanwhile, I noticed a bright light falling from the sky, at first I thought it was just a light pole but I was wrong. Watching closely I realized it was a shooting star. Some say that shooting stars can fulfill a wish hence I quickly made a wish. I am not sure whether it is going to get fulfilled but still I did it. After spending an hour on the terrace I felt relaxed and more rejuvenated than before. I think sky gazing therapy is quite underrated if compared with its benefits. I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have received a good respond.
