So, it gets delayed and we run into the class after 5 minutes of scheduled time. My external and my guide scolded me and I share my reason for the delay. For about 15 minutes we had a conversation about why I came late. And then after having long conversation he finally agrees to allow me to present.

It's quite familiar to have an event or instance that costs you because of a delay. Suddenly, I remembered one instance in college when I was late for my final presentation. It happened accidentally because of other events happening at the same time. On that day, we got ready for our presentation by taking a printout of the specific PDF and the final model of my project. When we crossed the bridge, there was a sudden gust of wind that blew away our presentation materials. We ran to retrieve the materials, but there was traffic, which caused further delays. We arrived in class five minutes after the scheduled time. My external examiner and my guide scolded me, and I explained the reason for my delay. For about 15 minutes, we had a conversation about why I was late. After a long discussion, he finally agreed to allow me to present. That was an instance I won't forget because of the delay.
