Describe a time when you picked up an item that someone else lost.Introduction.
Losing something important is not a very good feeling and if it's an ornament or a document this can become a headache. People lose their valuables on functions and occasions. When they are busy with one thing they forget their important things here and there. If we find a document, piece of jewelry, electronic gadgets, smart phone we should inform the nearby authorities so it reaches the real owner.
- What the item was.- When and where you found it.
Actually I was traveling to attend my cousin's wedding and I was waiting in the lounge at the airport and reading a magazine. It is something that I do when I find time for myself. And I suddenly saw a small handbag someone left unknowingly and I saw and checked there were two passports and air tickets so I was worried about the one who had forgotten this important bag with documents and cash.
- What you did after finding it.
I immediately tried to look around and made some inquiry about the passenger who forgot this bag but nobody was aware and then I decided to go to the lost and found counter to talk to the authorities who can help find the real owner. There, when I talked to the officer an elderly uncle and aunty were waiting for their bag. They were traveling abroad to meet their son and they forgot where they had left their bag. The authorities identified the couple and told me they were waiting for a couple of hours and their flight was in one hour. My uncle was so tense when he saw me returning his bag he was really happy and thankful to me.
- And explain how you felt about the experience.
I felt joy when I did something meaningful. My alertness and knowledge of what to do with things helped an elderly couple. They were blessing me a thousand times. They tried to reward me but I kindly refused as it was my public duty and as a responsible citizen I will always do the right thing I love helping others and it makes me feel satisfied with my existence.
