Polished transcript:

Male Female

Although I hate to say this, I think I am not a very punctual person. Mainly because I believe I can handle pressure and stressful situations. So I tend to keep the tasks I have to do until the last minute. When the last minute arrives, I usually panic and get very anxious. Also, I procrastinate a lot. So that's why I tend to be late or why I'm not very punctual in that sense.
