I usually pick that type of base which have less traffic or get me easily to reach my place but on the day of one day unfortunately I picked one wrong way to reach my exam center. But always I keep a mobile with me to watch a base to reach at my exam center within a particular time but at that day I forgot my phone at the home and I go along with the route. But I tried something new route I don’t know why I tried that route but I tried because I think that route will be easier for me to reach my exam center but that was my life worst decision ever because on that day there was a huge accident between a car and truck and the half of the way was covered by that accident and due to that accident there was a huge traffic jam ahead in my city and on that day there is a I always early in my exam but on that day I also wait for my exam center and I also took a wrong way to get that exam center I probably put in bed watch to myself because I thought who said Hennel you to choose that way who said Hennel you to choose that way I continuously said myself I feel very traced very tried and I also removed my calmness and I also forgot answers of my exams and if that was exam was very important to me because it is career oriented exam for me that’s why on that traffic jam I was very very stuck in the exam and I missed my exam due to this I learned a few things choose way which you know and always go exam center before a time never reach exact time or never reach before 5 minutes at the time but because you don’t because someone don’t know what’s going to be thing.

I usually pick routes that have less traffic or allow me to reach my destination easily, but one day I unfortunately chose the wrong way to get to my exam center. I always keep a mobile device with me to check the best route to my exam center within a particular time, but that day I forgot my phone at home and went along with the route I had in mind. I tried a new route; I don't know why I chose that route, but I thought it would be easier for me to reach my exam center. That turned out to be the worst decision of my life because there was a huge accident between a car and a truck, and half of the road was blocked by that accident. Due to that, there was a massive traffic jam in my city. I always arrive early for my exams, but that day I was stuck waiting to get to my exam center. I kept questioning myself, 'Who told you to choose that way?' I felt very stressed and tired, and I lost my calmness. I even forgot the answers to my exam questions, and that exam was very important to me because it was career-oriented. Because of that traffic jam, I was extremely late for the exam and ultimately missed it. From this experience, I learned a few things: always choose a route you know, and always arrive at the exam center ahead of time. Never aim to arrive exactly on time or just five minutes before, because you never know what might happen.
