Today I would like to talk about an important doctor’s appointment which I missed. Well, actually it’s a few months ago I have a doctor’s appointment in a hospital in the city center. In the actual date I was set for 10 am for my appointment but in that day I do some important work in the morning. That’s why I made late and then also in the main road I face a lot of traffic jam. For this use rush I cannot go quickly in the hospital and after I arrived the hospital I said that it was actually 30 minutes late. Almost 10.30 am. I was frustrated and disappointed because this appointment is too much important for me. And I also feel guilty for not managing my time properly and sorry for the receptionist. But he informed me that the doctor moved on the next patient because I made late. So I am too much guilty about this late and then the authority informed me that they helped me and they rescheduled another date. But after this situation, after these days, I realized that managing time is too much important for one’s life. And now I am double checking my schedule and time after any occasion or any function or any appointment because I can’t do it.

Today I would like to talk about an important doctor's appointment that I missed. Actually, it was a few months ago when I had a doctor's appointment at a hospital in the city center. On the actual date, I was set for 10 am for my appointment, but that day I had some important work in the morning. That's why I was late, and then on the main road, I faced a lot of traffic. Because of this rush, I couldn't get to the hospital quickly, and after I arrived at the hospital, I realized that I was actually 30 minutes late, almost 10:30 am. I was frustrated and disappointed because this appointment was very important to me. I also felt guilty for not managing my time properly and was sorry for the receptionist. However, he informed me that the doctor had moved on to the next patient because I was late. I felt very guilty about this delay, and then the staff informed me that they would help me and reschedule another date. After this situation, I realized that managing time is very important in life. Now, I am double-checking my schedule and time for any occasion, function, or appointment because I can't afford to miss them.
