I'm going to tell you about my embarrassing story. Last week, my club had a meeting to discuss our future plans, and I am the host. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to set the alarm the night before, and as a result, I was late for that meeting by about 30 minutes. Because I was the host, every member didn't know what to do for 30 minutes, and they had to wait for me. When I arrived at the meeting, everybody looked at me with angry faces, and some members had even gone home before I got there. I had to apologize to them profusely and start the conference quickly. After the conference ended, I invited them to apologize again and promised not to be late anymore.
