So I like to talk about when I was late for an exam in math class. At the university, there's a math class, and I needed to take the last exam at the end of the semester because the exam was held on the first day of fasting in the month of Ramadan. I overslept, so I missed the exam. When I arrived at the class, the exam was already over, so I was really disappointed in my behavior. I apologized to the teacher, I apologized to my friends, and I needed to take the exam elsewhere at the teacher's home so I could be graded for the class. However, because of the class rules that no one can take the test outside the required time, I had to apologize and get permission from my classmates so my grade could be given by the teachers. After that event, I never overslept for an exam again. That was a really disappointing event for me.
