A time I missed an important appointment that I'd like to describe to you happened just last year. I had arranged an important meeting with my lecturer to get feedback on my final report. It was really important because she would give me feedback on my draft and check my progress. Due to its importance, I managed to set up the meeting a week in advance. However, I ended up missing the meeting because I stayed up late working on perfecting the draft. I stayed up late and, of course, overslept the next morning. Once I realized, I immediately reached out to my teacher to apologize and tried to reschedule. My teacher was understanding and we set up a new meeting. I was still guilty for not being more organized and, in the end, I was grateful that my lecturer was so kind to give me a second chance to catch up. It was a valuable lesson for me.
