And explain how you felt when this happened.

One of the moments I felt most proud of myself was when I organized a charity run to raise funds for a local animal shelter. This event took place about a year ago, in the spring of 2023.

The idea came to me after visiting the shelter and seeing the dire conditions in which they were operating due to a lack of funds. I decided to take action and help out by organizing a 5K run, hoping to rally the community around a cause that I deeply cared about. The planning press involved a lot of steps: securing permits, coordinating with the local authorities, arranging fDr volunteers, and promoting the event through social media and local news Outlets.

On the day of the event, I was both nervous and excited. The turnout exceeded my expectations, with over 200 participants showing up to run and support the cause. We managed to raise a significant amount of money, which went directly to the shelter for load, medical supplies, and improvements to the facilities.

I felt incredibly proud of what I had accomplished for several reasons. First, it was the first time I had ever organized such a large event, and seeing it come to fruition successfully was immensely satisfying. Second, knowing that my efforts directly contributed to improving the lives of animals at the shelter was heartwarming. Finally, the overwhelming support from the community made me feel that I had made a meaningful impact.

When the event concluded and I saw the smiles on the faces of the shelter staff and volunteers, as well as the joy of the participants, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and pride. It was a moment that reinforced r•v belief in the power of community and collective action, and it encouraged me to continue engaging in similar initiatives in the future.

Follow Up Question – Answer

Question 1. Which one is more important, personal goals or work goals?

Answer – I will choose personal goals because personal goals are about my own life achievements, whilst work goals are for my work and I can quit work anytime. So I see personal targets to be more important than work goals.

Question 2.  Have your life goals changed since your childhood?

Answer Yes, it has. Because when I was a child, I thought the path to attain something was easy, but I never knew that there were unforeseen circumstances that could change one’s plans. For instance, I wanted to be a pilot when I was young, but I am a nurse now.

Question 3. Does everyone set goals for themselves?

Answer :- No, but most people plan and set targets to achieve what they want, as there are few people for whom parents or guardians plan their life for them and provide evervthingthey need, especially affluent families.

Question 4. What kinds of rewards are important at work?

Answer :- From my point of view, it depends on the kind of work. For instance, a President of a state doesn’t need a material reward for good work done but needs appreciation in words, blessings, and good compliments, whiles in other works, workers need allowances, promotions, and other material rewards such as cars and houses.

Question 5. Do you think material rewards are more important than other rewards at work?

Answer :— In my opinion, both are important; material rewards such as cars, money, and others boost the workers to give up their all, while other rewards in promotions in ranks, citations, and others help to encourage the workers to work efficiently. So I will say both rewards are vital.

Question 6. What makes people feel proud of them?

Answer :— I think that most people feel proud of themselves when they are able to get a job that is very tedious, and no one believes that they can do it. For instance, most people feel proud of themselves when they pass an IELTS exam because it is not easy if English is not your native language.
