Regarding this topic, the first occasion that comes to my mind was when I had an important interview Well, if my memory serves me right, this happened 3 years ago when their COVID 19 pandemic was rapidly spreading. At this time, due to the complicated situation, I was forced to stay at home and continued my studies through virtual classrooms. During their school absences, I was trying to apply for a local health organization because I wanted to join my hands in assisting the public to prevent coronavirus. Plunking in my application letter was a 7th. And I was invited to join an online interview. You know, I prevailed. I prepared a lot, and I was pulsing of the walls. Unfortunately, when I started the interview, there was a sudden power outage that made me feel over teens. I didn’t know what to do because I was scared of missing this an important interview. And my mother tried to keep me down and help me to send a message to inform my situation for the local health organization Thank god after 30 minutes, the power came back on. I was allowed to join their interview and easily pass it. After this occasion, I have learned that I need to stay king first in any difficult situation. So that I can find their way to solve it. It was such a special occasion that I couldn’t forget.
