Describe a time you made a promise to someone
I’d like to talk about a time when I made a promise to my younger brother and had to make sure I kept it. A few months ago, he was preparing for his final exams, and he was feeling stressed and overwhelmed, especially with math. He told me he was really struggling, so I promised to help him study every evening until his exams were over.
At first, it wasn’t too difficult—I enjoyed helping him, and we made good progress. But after a few days, I got really busy with my own work and personal commitments, and I was tempted to skip a few study sessions. However, I knew that breaking my promise would let him down, so I made sure to set aside time every evening, even if I was tired. Sometimes, we studied late into the night, and I could see how much it meant to him that I was there to support him.
In the end, he did really well in his exams, and he was so happy. He even thanked me and said my help had really made a difference. That moment made me realize how important it is to keep promises, no matter how small they seem. It also reminded me that a little effort and commitment can go a long way in helping someone succeed.
Looking back, I’m really glad I stuck to my word. It strengthened my bond with my brother and showed me that sometimes, even small acts of support can make a big impact on someone’s confidence and success.
