I admire Small Things by Shobhik Chatterjee

MY PEERSONAL ESSAY

BY SHOUBHIK CHATTERJEE

I have found out a very interesting thing about myself and that is that I am the kind of person who admires small things, which are helpful because small things matter more than big things

And because you care and you do it for someone else – HERE WE GO!

My goal in my apartment has no nets and I have to fetch the ball after every shot.Me and my friend were just about to have a session and I realized that some kid was watchingus. Our session was going decent until I hit a really good shot and the kid started fetching the ball for us (probably open mouthed) and he helped me and my friend by fetching the ball (I bet you are like “Is this what the story about?) but seriously it isn’t easy .So me and my friend let the kid take some shots but what I realized was that I actually have a heart and that my friend was so caring  because I didn’t lead by example , so that is why I admired him .So remember small things matter more than big things .

An example of “because you do it for someone else” is-

I don’t have a great relationship with my grandmom(shoot me) and I don’t know why . Everyone says they love my grandparents but for some reason I don’t (I know harsh) but I try to help her whenever I can and a few days ago my parents went out and my grandmom wanted tea and so I made it and it tasted horrible but then I thought “All this work for nothing “ so I gave it in. She said it was good (cough lying cough) but what I noticed is that I not only admire small things but I can also do small things which are helpful.

I think I got “because you care about someone else” from this-

It was my dads 50^th birthday and I didn’t know until 9:30 at night (oops) I was in the middle of a football match with friends until I heard the date. I thought – “Well that was unnecessary. Wait isn’t it my dads birthday? But he never celebrates. So what? Its his 50^th birthday its special .So I stopped playing and ran to the store to get a chocolate. He was like “meh” but that’s okay but what I realized is that I care about people and that I admired myself because most people in my shoes wouldn’t have gone through so much pain

What I am saying that I think that people should be admired more and also that small things matter more than big things because you do it for someone else and you care. So don’t blame me if I go on about it and remember“ make a difference a small one atleast“ (how cliché).

Thank you for reading my story
