    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Good morning. I'd like to speak about an energetic person that I know. The person's name is Rishabh, who happens to be my college mate. He is not only energetic, but I would consider him to be hyper energetic. He always loves to pull pranks on other people. To add more, he is an all-rounder. He plays cricket, badminton and other sports as well as he also takes part in cultural activities such as singing, dancing, role-modeling as well as drama. He is known for his hilariousness and he happens to be a stand-up comedian. He is a kind of person whom you can describe as carefree, but at the same time he is responsible enough to take care of others who are very close to him. I would like to share an incident about Rishabh where he stood up for his friends and protested against all our teachers just for the sake of playing sports. His unmatched level of energy is what a crucial factor whenever we play a team sport. His energy levels brings us all together and motivates us to get our job done.

    The most energetic person that I have ever come across in my life is my best friend Amrita. I met her during the first year of my college through our online classes. It is her who texted me asking if we could be friends and that's how our friendship began and till date we have been friends for almost 4 years. Amrita is a very energetic person, when I say energetic I mean it. She takes up every task with utmost zeal and she is very keen on completing it even before the deadline. Additionally, she volunteers herself for most of the events that are conducted by our college and these are some of the qualities that I like in Amrita. Like for instance, even if I have any issues or I want help from her with something, she would just spring right into action and help me without even asking me what the problem is. She never hesitates to say no and this is something which I actually love about her.

    Band 7

    One of my closest friends Melna is the most energetic person I know. I have known her for over seven years having met her when I was pursuing my 10th and 12th education. She's an extremely introverted person yet she she's always trying out new things and experiences. She's always encouraging me to go with her to experience new things. If there is a new restaurant that's open and down she would immediately drop a message to me and say hey why don't we go check this out. If there's a fest happening she would be the first one to reach out and tell me that we should definitely check it out and if there are new sorry if there are collections or if there's a particular sale going on at a store she would immediately demand that we go there and see what's on display. Being with her has always pushed me to be a better person to never shy away from putting myself out there and to socialize. Despite being a shy person by nature it's like she also comes alive when we both set out to do these exploratory things. I've never felt so loved and encouraged. She's also a person who brings out the best in me. She amplifies all the qualities that I try to tuck away for instance talking to people or just wanting to know more things.

    The most energetic person in my life is my dad. He leaves home very early at morning and comes back late at night. He works so hard. He's been active from a very long time. He is a very hardworking person and believes that hardworking is the only key for success and I wish him very well. I do believe that any person like him should be hardworking and I also want to be like him. But he should always remember that he should also be having a life. Always being hardworking and active is not the key. Sometimes in life we need to step back and think what we really need. Sometimes we just need to sit down and remember that we are earning money to have a better life. We are not living for a better job.

She always motivates me for having a positive point of view regarding any negative thing. When I am not able to sense myself in terms of my assignments, my career thoughts, she always gives me that energy that you can do it, you don't need to be stressed so much, you have a capability to go through any negative thing or abstracting thing which distracts you, you can do meditation, she helps me to provide some solutions of it, she never ever feels to be not to be a part of my life, she has a fantastic humor also, she motivates herself with everything which is important to be an energetic one.

    Hey, my name is Glokesh and I'm going to talk about who is the most energetic person I know. Personally, I feel the most energetic person is my dad. He was born in a small town called Barikadodisa. Actually, after that, he had a lot of troubles in his childhood. His dad was into farming and then he passed out when he was in 10th class. So, he had to take responsibility of the family in a very early age. And then slowly he came down into the tractors business. And one day, one of his friend came down to his shop and said, Let's put up a school because there are none here. And because of this vision, he started creating this amazing empire which is Krishnavikas right now. And how do I know this person? He is my dad obviously. And who is he to me? He is a God. He is a God to me. And I visualize every day of my life to be half of the person he is. And because the way he operates everyday, he wakes up at 9am, goes to the office, works all around the clock till 7pm in the night. And still here, if he has some work till 10pm, he will be in the office. He takes care of everything, accounts, administration, management. And he is not just into schools, he is into hospitals, tourism, everything. And 24x7 he is into it.

    When I think about a person with whom I got energy, that person is a famous YouTuber as well as a businessman named Elon Musk. I'm a big fan of his. He is a big businessman and entrepreneur as well. He has his own different kinds of companies in different kinds of sectors such as vehicle sector, mechanical sector and also in entrepreneur sector. I knew him when I just entered in an entrepreneurship session. My teacher used to teach about Elon Musk, how he did his journey, how he became famous and how he does all kinds of business and how he gets success. He is like a role model for me. He has all these techniques which are very famous. Most probably, I can say, we tend to follow his business techniques to get success in our business. I admire him because he is the one who does his work in a rapid manner and gives the result within a few days after taking the task. I remember, within a few years, he made his company like Chrome.

    An energetic person I know is my best friend Vaishnavi. She has been friends with me since class 6 and we became best friends in 8th. So earlier we used to not like each other, but then our vibes matched. So I got to know about her and then we became friends. So the best thing I feel about her energy is her optimism. I feel that she is so energetic because she is optimistic the whole time. I am someone who takes stress on small things, but she is someone who stresses me down, who calms me down with her talk and with her actions so that I laugh and I don't stress about small things such as exams or anything else like a small competition or something. She is someone who truly has a lot of confidence and belief in me and in herself. That's why I feel she is so so energetic and I feel very good about her and I am grateful that she is there with me and God has given me a great gift by giving a friend like her to me because she is my Paul. She is my best friend. She is my companion. She is the best company I could have ever gotten. That's why I like her and I am truly grateful again and I will always be grateful and happy to have her and I feel blessed that she has me and I have her and I always have her whenever I feel low, she is there with me. Whenever I feel good, she is there with me. When I am normal, she is there with me. She is always there with me and she never leaves my side. She never leaves me alone, especially when I am sad or I am disheartened or I am disappointed. That's the best thing about her. Thank you.
