There have been many times when I was late, but it was quite simple and not really detrimental to my life, like forgetting to go to a friend group or even having a meeting. I was late for some reason, but this time it had an effect on me. It was when I was late for my final term math exam. It was in the morning, and when I woke up, I realized that it was 8 AM and the test started at 7 AM, so obviously, I was late. I also realized that I had set my alarm clock incorrectly; it was supposed to be 6 AM, but I accidentally set it to 6 PM. That was a bad mistake. After that, I felt really guilty because there were about 10 teachers who had to remake their math test for me. I learned not to be careless when setting an alarm clock and to make sure everything works. I mean, just do everything carefully and not carelessly so it doesn't go wrong like this time.
