Well, I am the kind of person who usually doesn't like being late. Today, I'd like to talk about a time when I was late, which was two years ago when I was a candidate for the HAC board exam. At that time, it was the day of my mathematics final exam. As far as I remember, I woke up around 6 a.m. After that, I read for a while and completed my breakfast. Then, around 9 a.m., I went to college. When I got to the college hall, I realized I had forgotten my registration card, which is important because every teacher checks this registration card or roll number. When I realized that, I went back home to get my registration card. A few minutes later, around 15 minutes later, I went to the exam hall. At that time, the security conducted a small investigation. After I entered the exam hall, when I sat down, I was around 25 minutes late. Finally, I think it was a big mistake for me and my life overall. I felt disappointed because I will never forget this situation. That's all.
