I am a punctual person and it happens very rarely that I forget my appointment. I remember that two months ago I had arranged my passport appointment. I had arranged it with the officials of that organization as I have to make my passport because I want to give my English competency test. I remember that it was on Monday and I was called at 10.15 am. On Sunday due to my haptic schedule I forget the date because I was preparing for my test and my friends had told me that after one week we have to go for a trip to an amusement park and I was preparing myself for it. Moreover on Sunday guests had came to my house because of which I was unable to think that what I have to do on Monday. Fortunately on Monday I think nearly 12 o’clock I remember that it was my appointment on morning but I forget it. I felt very sad at that time because it was very important for me. Though it was again planned but it was after 10 days and it delayed my plan of giving English competency test and at that time I was completely knocked down and I was not in the state of coping that situation. When I faced this situation after that I realized that one should mention the important dates and things in a diary or mobile phone so that it can be easily remembered. After that day I used to write the dates on my mobile phone’s calendar as well as set alarm so I cannot forget the dates.

I am a punctual person, and it happens very rarely that I forget my appointments. I remember that two months ago, I had arranged my passport appointment. I had arranged it with the officials of that organization because I need to make my passport to take my English competency test. I remember that it was on a Monday, and I was called at 10:15 AM. On Sunday, due to my hectic schedule, I forgot the date because I was preparing for my test, and my friends had told me that after one week, we would go on a trip to an amusement park, and I was preparing for that. Moreover, on Sunday, guests came to my house, which made it difficult for me to think about what I had to do on Monday. Fortunately, on Monday, around 12 o'clock, I remembered that I had an appointment in the morning, but I had forgotten it. I felt very sad at that time because it was very important for me. Although it was rescheduled, it was after 10 days, and it delayed my plan to take the English competency test. At that time, I felt completely knocked down and was not in a state to cope with the situation. After facing this experience, I realized that one should note important dates and events in a diary or mobile phone so that they can be easily remembered. Since that day, I have made it a habit to write the dates in my mobile phone's calendar and set alarms so I do not forget them.
