Change is the law of nature.
My life has also seen many changes.
I would like to talk about here about some changes that are worth mentioning.
I used to be a very fat and chubby child.
A real couch potato.
Then one day there was a drama competition in school.
I was given the role of a fat and dumb girl/boy.
Everyone laughed at me.
I decided to change that image and I started exercising daily.
I stopped eating chocolates and candies.
The changes became obvious and in six months I was a new person.
I felt more confident and active.
You know what, I even got better in studies.
Then I made new friends.
I used to be an introvert.
I started going out and meeting people.
I started finding the world a better place.
Another change that I would like to talk about here is in my nature.
I used to spend all my money on chocolates.
Once I helped a poor class fellow with some stationery material.
I found great happiness in it.
I used to live for myself only.
But I found a new meaning of life.
So you see ma‟am, changes are a part and parcel of life.

I hope you don't mind - I made some slight changes:

I would like to talk here about ... (omitting the extra "about").

"classmate" instead of "class fellow " which sounded strangely stiff and old-fashioned to me - possibly because this is Indian English.

we usually say "a new meaning in life" or But I found a new meaning to life" rather than " a new meaning of life"

We do talk about "THE meaning of life", but that's a slightly different, more philosophical thing :)
