<p>A couple of days ago, an ordinary incident changed my life. I had gone to the market to buy some groceries for my mom. After buying them, I turned to go home. <br /><br /></p>.<p>I was lost in thought because the next day was my math exam. My dad had given me a really complicated problem, that I hadn’t been able to solve, and I was pondering over it. <br /><br />I was thinking so hard that I forgot the route that would take me home. I entered a small bylane by mistake. Cries of ‘Buy your vegetables here!’ and ‘Fresh hot coffee!’ arose from all over.<br /><br />The vendors’ cries snapped me back to reality from the world of Simple Equations, and I turned to look for the right route. <br /><br />Suddenly, something lying on the side of the road caught my eye. I went towards it, and it turned out to be an unconscious woman’s bleeding body. <br /><br />“Oh my God, this is Trishika’s mom!” I cried. You’re probably wondering now who Trishika is. She’s my best friend, so when I saw her mom’s condition, it shocked me. <br /><br />The distressing thing was that no one even spared her a second glance. I sprang into action.<br />Luckily for me, there was a telephone booth nearby. I called for an ambulance quickly, and then phoned Trishika and my family and told them where I was and what had happened. My mom and dad said they would reach the hospital in five minutes. I cleaned Trishika’s mom’s wounds as best as I could.<br /><br />After this everything became a blur. The ambulance arrived and carried away Trishika’s mother. <br />We met her an hour later in the hospital, where we were told that she was very weak, but out of danger. That gave me a lot of happiness and relief, but I was overwhelmed with guilt when I realised that had it not been Trishika’s mom lying there, and had it been a total stranger, I might not have stopped to help. Then and there I took a vow that whenever anyone is injured and I can do something to help, I would do all I could to lessen their pain.<br /><br />The next day after my (very easy) math exam, I met the principal and told him about my idea. He liked it a lot and described it to the other students at the morning assembly. The idea gained immediate approval. We started a campaign on First Aid.<br /><br />I was happy that a small incident could teach me such a valuable lesson.<br /><br /></p>
