Sample Answer
Well, I have spent a lot of time with paternal grandparents since childhood. I used to listen to lots of stories about their life from them. Here, today I am going to talk about a job which was done by my grandfather. He worked in a single job throughout his life. His career journey is very motivational. My grandfather was in the police force.
My grandfather was well educated; therefore, he opted to join as a high rank police officer. So, he did preparation for a competitive exam. As my grandfather told me, clearing a competitive exam was not a cup of tea for him. Even he was facing financial issues. He worked hard day and night to get that job.
He worked harder and secured his dream job in the next attempt. Then, he joined as a Senior inspector. His story is a story of hard work and struggle. I feel nowadays people give up very soon rather than trying hard for their goals.
I proudly tell everyone how my grandfather got a high rank job after facing so many challenges. He ultimately retired as the Senior Superintendent of police (SSP) after 30 years of his work. All in all, I feel very motivated from my grandfather’s success and life story.
