A few days ago, I was sitting in the park waiting for my bus. When the bus came, I stood up to go, but suddenly I fell down. At that moment, an old man who was standing near me quickly helped me get up. He also noticed that my phone was broken and told me. I just said, “Yes, it’s okay,” and went to the bus. I was so nervous and confused that I forgot to say thank you. That is the only thing I regret. His small but important help meant a lot to me. I understood that to be a hero, you don’t always need to do big things.

I think exams are important in education. They help students see what they know and find their strong and weak sides. Exams also teach responsibility and the habit of studying on your own. But I don’t think exams should be the only way to measure knowledge. One exam cannot show how smart or talented a student is, because everyone has different skills. Some do well in written tests, others explain better when speaking. That’s why exams should not decide a student’s whole future. For example, exams can be for university admission, but they should not stop someone from entering the university they want. It would be better if exams only showed the student’s level. This way, everyone could study where they want, and their knowledge would still be clear.

However, some ingredients were scarce, and others were too expensive. She tried to persuade local farmers to sell their products to her at wholesale prices. Everything started during one annual food fair, with nothing more than her typical hard work and a minimum budget. Today, Neli’s products have become visible and well-known in the market — even though it all began from something small.
