Personal Statement: Helping a Road Accident Victim for the First Time

I never imagined that an ordinary day would turn into such a profound experience. Last month, while returning home from work, I witnessed a motorcycle crash. The rider, a young man, lay unconscious on the road, bleeding from his head. My hands trembled, but I knew I had to act.

With no medical training, I relied on basic first aid knowledge. I checked his pulse and made sure he could breathe, then used my scarf to apply gentle pressure on his wound while shouting for help. A crowd gathered, but most hesitated to intervene. Keeping calm, I guided others to divert traffic and called an ambulance.

The 15-minute wait felt like hours. I stayed with the victim, reassuring him when he briefly regained consciousness. When paramedics arrived, they praised our quick response. Later, at the hospital, his family tearfully thanked me—their gratitude overwhelmed me.

This incident changed me. I realized how fragile life is and how a few minutes of courage can save someone. Now, I’ve enrolled in a first aid course because I never want to feel helpless again. Helping a stranger taught me the power of compassion and the responsibility we all share in emergencies. That day, I didn’t just save a life; I discovered my own humanity.

ذاتی بیان: پہلی بار روڈ ایکسیڈنٹ کے متاثرین کی مدد کرنا

میں نے کبھی سوچا بھی نہیں تھا کہ ایک عام سا دن میری زندگی کا اتنا گہرا تجربہ بن جائے گا۔ پچھلے مہینے جب میں دفتر سے گھر واپس جا رہا تھا، میں نے ایک موٹرسائیکل حادثہ ہوتے دیکھا۔ سوار، ایک نوجوان لڑکا، بے ہوش سڑک پر پڑا تھا اور اس کے سر سے خون بہہ رہا تھا۔ میرے ہاتھ کانپ رہے تھے، لیکن میں جانتا تھا کہ مجھے عمل کرنا ہوگا۔

کوئی طبی تربیت نہ ہونے کے باوجود، میں نے بنیادی فرسٹ ایڈ کا علم استعمال کیا۔ میں نے اس کی نبض چیک کی اور یقین کیا کہ وہ سانس لے رہا ہے، پھر خون روکنے کے لیے اپنے اسکارف کا استعمال کیا جبکہ میں مدد کے لیے چلا رہا تھا۔ لوگوں کا ہجوم جمع ہو گیا، لیکن زیادہ تر مدد کرنے سے ہچکچا رہے تھے۔ پرسکون رہتے ہوئے، میں نے دوسروں کو ٹریفک ہٹانے کی رہنمائی کی اور ایمبولینس کو بلایا۔

15 منٹ کا انتظار گھنٹوں جتنا طویل محسوس ہوا۔ میں متاثرہ شخص کے ساتھ رہا، اور جب وہ عارضی طور پر ہوش میں آیا تو اسے تسلی دیتا رہا۔ جب پیرامیڈکس پہنچے تو انہوں نے ہماری فوری کارروائی کی تعریف کی۔ بعد میں ہسپتال میں، اس کے خاندان والوں نے مجھے آنسوؤں کے ساتھ شکریہ ادا کیا - ان کا شکریہ سن کر میں بہت متاثر ہوا۔

اس واقعے نے مجھے بدل دیا۔ مجھے احساس ہوا کہ زندگی کتنی نازک ہے اور کس طرح چند لمحوں کی ہمت کسی کی جان بچا سکتی ہے۔ اب میں نے فرسٹ ایڈ کا کورس جوائن کر لیا ہے کیونکہ میں پھر کبھی بے بس محسوس نہیں کرنا چاہتا۔ ایک اجنبی کی مدد کرنے نے مجھے ہمدردی کی طاقت اور ہنگامی حالات میں ہم سب کی ذمہ داری کا احساس دلایا۔ اس دن میں نے صرف ایک زندگی نہیں بچائی تھی، بلکہ اپنی اپنی انسانیت کو دریافت کیا تھا۔

Explanation

A disaster is a sudden and often catastrophic event that causes significant damage, harm, or destruction to life, property, or the environment.

Disasters can be natural (such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, or wildfires) or human-made (such as industrial accidents, nuclear accidents, or armed conflicts). Disasters can have widespread impacts, disrupting normal life and posing serious public health and safety threats.

Types of Disasters:

• Natural Disasters: These include hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, and volcanic eruptions. They are often unpredictable and can result in the loss of life, widespread damage to infrastructure, and environmental harm.
• Human-made Disasters: These include industrial accidents, chemical spills, nuclear accidents, and oil spills. Human-made disasters are often the result of negligence or intentional actions, such as warfare or terrorism.

Write a personal statement on: How did you help a road accident victim? (LAT Paper held in June 2024)

آپ نے ایک روڈ حادثے کے شکار کی کیسے مدد کی؟

***

In the chaotic aftermath of a road accident, I found myself in a position to make a meaningful difference in someone's life. It was a typical day until the screeching of brakes and the sickening sound of metal colliding shattered the routine. Without hesitation, I rushed to the scene, where a car had collided with a stationary vehicle, leaving its occupants disoriented and injured.

My first instinct was to ensure everyone's safety by directing traffic away from the accident site and calling emergency services for immediate assistance. Amidst the chaos, I noticed a young woman, her face contorted in pain, trapped within the wreckage. Ignoring the potential dangers, I approached her cautiously, reassuring her with calm words and steady hands.

With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I assessed her injuries and provided basic first aid to stabilize her condition until help arrived. I ensured she remained conscious, offering words of comfort and support as we awaited the arrival of paramedics. In those critical moments, empathy and quick thinking guided my actions, allowing me to provide the care and reassurance she desperately needed.

As the sirens grew louder, I coordinated with emergency responders, providing vital information about the accident and the victim's condition. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, I remained a steady presence, offering assistance wherever possible and advocating for the victim's well-being.

In the aftermath of the accident, I reflected on the profound impact of my actions. While I may have only been a bystander, my willingness to intervene and assist undoubtedly made a difference in someone's life. Through compassion, resourcefulness, and a commitment to helping others in need, I was able to provide comfort and support during a moment of crisis.

This experience reinforced my belief in the power of community and the importance of lending a helping hand when it's needed most. Whether it's offering a shoulder to lean on, providing practical assistance, or simply being present in times of need, I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of others, one act of kindness at a time.

Explanation

Although he had no external injuries, doctors found that he was suffering from internal bleeding.

اگرچہ اسے کوئی بیرونی زخم نہیں تھا لیکن ڈاکٹروں نے پایا کہ وہ اندرونی خون بہہ رہا ہے۔

External injuries are those that are visible on the outside of the body.

This contrasts with internal bleeding, which happens inside the body and isn't visible.

Explanation

The subject "A lot of houses" is plural, so it takes "have" as the auxiliary verb.

Correct sentence: "A lot of houses have collapsed due to the earthquake."

Explanation

The concert was cancelled due to bad weather.

"Due to" is used to give the reason for something.

The phrase "due to bad weather" means because of bad weather.
