I'm going to tell you about my embarrassing story. It was last week. My class had a meeting to discuss its future plans, and I had a coach at 8 AM. I was his host. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to set my alarm the night before, and as a result, I was late for that conference by about 30 minutes. When I arrived at the meeting, everyone was looking at me with angry faces. Some people had even gone home before I got there. Therefore, I had to apologize to them and start the meeting right away. After the conference, I bought them food as an apology. I was so shy when I got there, and I promised them that I would not be late again. I really do not want to be late.
