Well, actually the situation which I wanted to talk about happened last summer when I planned a trip with my friends. We booked a ticket online and everything was supposed to go smoothly. We were excited to relax and enjoy the nature. However, things didn’t go as we expected. Despite we hit the road at 6 am, the bus was delayed and some of our light gates got lost. What makes it truly scary is that my important things such as my passport, my ID card, my credit card was lost. If we had left earlier, we would avoid the delay, but we couldn’t do anything at the time. Of course, the result staff tried to help, but the problem causes a lot of stress and some of our friends got upset. I was worried because I felt responsible for planning the trip and I was worried to burn it with my friends. To solve this issue I decided to put myself together and I gave offer to my friends to go to the restaurant for having dinner. After evening some of our luggage found and everything was low-wing and Chinese stories as usual. my friends always thick and thin, they supported each other and of course me. In conclusion from this experience I learned importance of being flexible and patent.

If we had left earlier, we could have avoided the delay, but we couldn't do anything at the time. Of course, the staff tried to help, but the problem caused a lot of stress and some of our friends got upset. I was worried because I felt responsible for planning the trip, and I was afraid to ruin it for my friends. To solve this issue, I decided to pull myself together and suggested to my friends that we go to a restaurant for dinner. After the evening, some of our luggage was found, and everything was flowing smoothly as usual. My friends, through thick and thin, supported each other and, of course, me. In conclusion, from this experience, I learned the importance of being flexible and patient.
