Solution

Yes, I do agree that impossible itself says ‘I M possible’. A lot of times in life, we find ourselves in situations that seem impossible to get out of. But there is always a way out. We only need to find it. For example, small bits of grass find a way to grow through concrete pavement. It sounds impossible, but the bits of grass made it possible. It seems impossible for tiny little ants to carry a fly that is ten times their size. But they manage to do so because, through teamwork, they find a way. When I was eleven years old, I took my bicycle and went for a ride. After a while, I realised that I was lost and I didn't know my way back home. I thought it was impossible for me to find my way back, since I didn't even know the area I was in. My family didn't know where I was, and I had no way of contacting them. But then, I made up my mind and decided to ride back on the same route that I could remember taking on my way there. A lot of kind strangers helped me with the directions along the way. At a certain point, I realised I had taken a wrong turn, which left me lost. I managed to reach home safe and sound. That day, I realised that if we are determined and think that something is possible, we can achieve it.
