SAMPLE ANSWER
One memorable experience I had with a group of people was participating in a charity event to clean up a nearby park. This event was organized by a local community group, and I joined in with my neighbors and a few close friends.
We worked together to pick up litter, trim the bushes, and plant new flowers. It took us about five hours to complete the task, but it was well worth it. I decided to join because I felt it was a great way to contribute to my community and improve the environment.
Everyone in the group shared a similar goal, which made the experience much more meaningful. Plus, it was a great way to spend quality time with my neighbors and friends, working together for a positive cause.
We chose to do it together not only because it was a community initiative, but also because it gave us a chance to bond and help each other out. Working as a team made the task easier and more enjoyable. The sense of accomplishment we all felt afterward was amazing, knowing we had made the park a cleaner and nicer place for everyone.
