Whenever I heard about the topic ‘Discovering Yourself’, I always thought that we already know about ourselves. So what was the point in discussing this topic? But I was wrong. The topic actually meant about discovering our secret about ourselves which even we might not know. When I understood the topic’s meaning, I gradually began to wonder what my secret ability was.
I tried to do many activities such as painting, singing, dancing etc. but none of them was my cup of tea. I then thought that my ability might be in academics. But I thought that academics could be done by anyone if they worked hard. Thus, I was back to square one.
I was searching for hidden qualities when I suddenly remembered that I like planting trees. In fact, I had another quality that I liked helping people. On my birthday I would plant trees and donate essential items to an NGO with the help of my parents. Thus, to me discovering myself was a very difficult but essential task.
