Model Answer 1:
Human beings pass lots of memorable days while some of the days become 
ever reminding in our mind. The birth of my elder son, Johnn, was one of the 
most important days in my life. It was the evening of 23rd December in 2009 
when the boy landed on the planet. 
When Georgina became pregnant, we two started counting days for our baby 
to come on earth. She had to undergo lots of physical and mental stress during 
the entire pregnancy period. Since she was a school teacher, she had to go for 
lecturing at the classes and I waited for her before her school to bring her back 
at home in the evening when the classes were over. I know it was troublesome 
for her to continue the profession after being pregnant. I also tried hard to 
prevent her continuing the teaching but she was reluctant to give up then. It 
was also hard for me to manage time in every evening to be with her. But my 
office considered the issue and allowed me every day to leave early. And 
finally, two days before the Christmas, Johnn came to the earth. It was a snowy 
evening and all of us were greatly tensed about the safety of the mother and 
the kid during the delivery process as the doctor made a bit late to reach for 
snow. 
In fact, I was in my office that day and Georgina was at home. She had taken a 
maternity leave of six months from her school commencing around a week 
before the day. She informed me over the telephone about her sudden

abdominal discomfort and I suggested her to go to the nearby hospital with my 
mother in law who was accompanying her. Accordingly, she went to the 
Beamunt Hospital, a few blocks away from our residence in Dublin, and the 
emergency medical officers informed me that she needs a C-section. I agreed 
and started from my office to the hospital. Being a foul weather, it was snowy 
and the traffic was unusual than the other days. When I reached the hospital, I 
found her at the operation theatre and all of them were waiting for the 
doctor’s arrival. Finally, the C-section was done and we got our baby boy. 
Really it was a great day for all of us with the arrival of the baby.
At the Beamunt Hospital, I was accompanied by my parents and the other 
members of my own and in-law’s family. My mother-in-law brought Georgina 
at the hospital in my absences and did all the necessary things like making 
phone calls to the other relatives and they reached at the hospital one after 
another. Around 25 people gathered at the hospital marking the birth of my 
child. It was a kind of festival for them as this was the first kid in the family 
after a long time. So, all of the relatives were too excited and happy over the 
incident. They congratulated me on the event and prayed for the betterment 
of the boy in the days ahead. I was surprised as well when I saw that some of 
the relations had brought some gifts for the newborn baby and wanted to 
hand over the gifts to me. It was also pleasant matter for me and their care for 
my boy also amazed me indeed. 
The day was important to me as it was the day of my fatherhood. I turned 
father for the first time and the feelings are inexpressible in words. My son, 
Johnn, has turned six in last year. The little baby is growing up and I have 
admitted him in the local elementary school. He is like a blessing to me. I 
always try to meet all of his demands and when he desires for something, he 
does not calm down until his desire is met. He is likea replica of my childhood 
said my parents and he never stops his activities unless he is taken before the 
television set to enjoy cartoons. Still, I remember the day when he was born 
and took him in my lap. He was covered with a thick white towel and he could 
not even see then. He was looking like an angel and all of us waited for his 
arrival. Though he was supposed to be late, he came early and there were no 
complications with his birth. The C-section was successful and required no 
extra troubles. So, the day was important to me earlier and still it is today.

needed to manage myself and my wife. The day when I got the job was the 
most important day of my life. Thank you for this appealing question. It 
reminds me about the struggling periods of my life. Here is the brief 
description of the day.
I cannot exactly recall the date but I can remember the day. It was a sunny day. 
I started the interview from my university dormitory in Mysore, India. The 
journey was smooth and I reached at the interview location just in time. 
Luckily, I was selected for the position I applied for and they asked me to join 
from the very next day of the interview date.
It was about nine years ago, and I was a student of History in a local university 
of Mysore. I got married in my student life and experienced huge sufferings in 
those days. In fact, marrying during the student life is really hard and I had no 
backup from my family as well. So, everything appeared unfavourable to me. 
On the other side, my wife’s family was also rejecting us. I had no job, and also 
did not complete my graduation. So, they wanted to break the marriage and 
tried their best. The moments were crucial. I needed a job badly. I was applying 
for jobs here and there. I turned in to a full-time job seeker but did not get any 
response from the employer. In such a condition, I was asked to appear the 
interview for the position of business analyst and got the job.
Though I was married, I lived in the dormitory until I got the job. My wife, a 
student of my batch, lived with her parents adjacent to the university. She was 
the daughter of locally an influential family. So, it was difficult for me to meet 
her when the family came to know about the marriage issue. I was in a 
complicated situation. I was trying to have a job and moved from one office to 
another and submitted my CV. I am lucky that I got a substantial support from 
my wife. If she had not been adamant about the marriage issue, I could not 
have been with her. I thank her from the core of my heart for her 
contributions. 
It was an important day to me for many aspects. I planned to approach 
formally to my wife’s family about settling everything. And I needed a job to 
represent myself. The job allowed me to be self-dependent and also made me 
confident as I turned economically strong. Therefore, the day of getting the job 
was important to me.
