Q.10 In Unit 9 of your textbook, you have learnt what Narrative. Writing is Write narrative essay on
the following topic.

A time that you learned something ew that changed ou in some way.

Answer:

You hear people tell you about how some significant event or person in their lives came along and
changed everything. You hear of some fantastic revelation some day up on the mountain, or a close
encounter with nature, even a brush with some insane disaster, bringing the person onto the doorstep
of death. Most people quote extraordinary event that is very unique to them and hear about how that
something have come to have a great impact on their lives, changing the very manner in which they
view life and perceive it. You might not find my story to be anything spectacular, but for me, it has been
the one most singularly amazing event of my life. It was the day that I met my husband. He came into
my life and affected me in so many ways and for which I really do not have words to describe. Yet, I will
try my best to portray how his coming into my life completely changed me and gave me a whole new
world to look at.

One of the things that I noticed immediately when I met my husband was how safe and secure he made
me feel. I remember meeting him that very first day and realizing how good I felt just being with him. It
was as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I suddenly felt free and relaxed, as if I had to
worry about nothing in life ever again. He would be very supportive of my ideas and my decisions and
would encourage me to go ahead and do what I wanted the most. He provided me with the background
support that I had always needed to further to my plans but had felt so insecure before. He had a knack
of making me laugh and feel good about myself and whatever was going on at that time. Aside from
making me feel emotionally stable, safe, and secure, he also made me feel very secure financially. He
made it look so easy, as if I would never have to worry about money ever again. He made me feel that I
could trust him with no matter what. This is perhaps the reason that I married him in the first place,
because of how he good he made me feel about myself: very safe, secure, and sound.

My husband taught me so many things that have impacted me and changed the way I think and feel. He
was the first person who I truly fell in love with and I can safely say that it is from him that I have learned
to love unconditionally. He taught me that love transcends all physical boundaries and is there to be felt
and enjoyed with between two people. He taught me how to be patient in my life and to wait for good
things to come to me, rather than stressing after them and never finding them. Before I met him, I had
always been afraid to follow my dreams. But he came into my life and made me feel so strong and
confident, and he taught me to follow my dreams to the fullest. He has always been very supportive of
me since then and he has truly taught me to be a better person in life.

If someone was to ask me what having a true companion in life is like, I would tell them that it was being
married to my husband. He has shown me the true meaning of what marriage is all about. He is always
trying to involve me into his life and with us it is always 'us' and never 'you' or 'I'. he is always willing to
do fun projects and things together, and we are always looking to go to new, fun, and exciting places to
spend our time together. Most importantly, my husband has been extremely faithful and honest with
me over the years and I have truly come to respect him for whatever he has done for me.

All in all, I think that meeting my husband is the one event that has definitely affected and changed me
and the way that I look and perceive life. I have learnt so many things from him and he has been able to
give me a completely new outlook towards life. I am a much happier, wiser, safer, and more confident
person after meeting him. I am glad that I met him and I would want to keep on meeting him in all of my
future lifetimes.
