I am always controlled and on time but sometimes I get stuck with other works which make me late but today I would like to talk about when I missed an appointment with doctor. I had booked a dine-taste appointment for a regular checkup. The appointment was at 3pm on Monday evening. That day I was tired for my daily routine and a partner because I had classes in the morning and do extra work at home. After lunch I decided to rest for one hour but I accidentally fell asleep. I did not hear my phone alarm and when I woke up it was already 6pm. I had missed the meeting completely. I quickly called the dental cleaning explaining the situation. The reception was kind and helped me book another appointment for the week. I apologized for missing it and I promised to be more careful next time. I felt very bad and it embarrassed when my father taught me to be punctual and to finish my work on time.
