Autobiography about my proudest achievement

When asking what people most take pride in, almost everyone will mention

their academic achievements such as being in the first place in the World’s

Scholars Cup or having a golden medal in Kangaroo Math. Personally, I have

involved in multiple competions and have won several prizes. However, what I

feel most proud of is the value of helping people.

Three years ago, when I was in grade 6, my school organized a community

project called Vincamp. In this competition, students had to do voluntary work that

benefited a group of people in the community. That year’s topic was “Spreading

Love”, in which my friend entered carrying out project about sympathizing and

making with the autistic children, who has a major disadvantages in their brain

functions. Accordingly, he started to go deep into this topic and contact to the

nannies at the autistic center to study deeply about autism. I really cared for that

project, so I asked to join with him.

Initially, I and my friend thought it communicating with the children would

be simple, however; it was much harder than we had expected.

 The first day was really tough for us when we tried to interact with the kids.

They didn’t bear in mind about us and just acted irrationally. The worst thing

happened at lunch when we gave food to those children. Instead of sitting down

nicely, they ran around, and threw the food away. Even worse, some of them kept

crying in the corner but we could not stop them. Everything was so terrible that the

nannies had to help us mananing those children.

Yes, that was our first day, and to be honest, it was a embarrassing failure.

After that day, I nearly gave up, having a thought that those kids were hateful and

rebellious. Fortunately, the nannies helped us out and explained detaily about their

foolish behavior. After that conversation with the nannies, we started to have

sympathy for the autistic children and forgave everything they had done to us.

After a few day meeting, I started to have good feelings towards the kids. Well,

they were actually great. Maybe, when first meet, they were too scared to

communicate with us, however; when we got to know more about each other,

things got better. I and my friend were astonish that they showed up lots of

wonderful talents such as dancing or playing musical instruments. Those kids

began concentrating to the lessons, having lunch in a pleasant manner, and do tasks

cheerfully. I had a lot of fun with them. In the end, my friend’s project was

successful and was given many appreciatin. Unluckily, he was not early enough to

submit his project so he was eliminated.

Although my friend didn’t get the prize, we had learnt some valuable lessons

helping the disadvantaged people and being sympathetic for them. At home, I also

realized my mistakes and rude behavior towards other people, which makes my

parents felt satisfied about my changes. In conclusion, in my opinion, the proudest

achievement of us is not always the prizes or medals, it is also about the positive

change in our thinking and behaviors. I hope that everyone will appreciate the true

value of morality.
