I wouldn’t like to say it but I really think I am a very careless person as I have lost a lot of things throughout my life. So I would like to describe an incident that when I lost something in public, so it was like my 12th grade board exams and like the teachers in our school, the teachers would likely just take us to the exam center. So when I reached the exam center, the teacher who had came with us gave us the admit cards and I just attached it with my paper board and using the clip. I just started talking with my friends and as my center was in Dharapay, Mistan, while talking with my friends I was like really just busy in talking with them and I really didn’t like, I would say, care about the other things. Like when I reached my classroom, I suddenly realized I had lost my admit card and it was really a terrifying moment I would say as I thought without the admit card I would not be allowed to appear for the exam and it would be really a great loss for me as I think it would ruin my career for my entire life as I had to. So if I missed the exam, it would just, I had to, there was only one option I had to appear for either for the compartment or either the next year, repeat the 12th standard. So I just started looking for my admit card all around the path where I have been. So after looking for like about 10 to 15 minutes along with my friends, we couldn’t find anything but I was really disappointed. I thought it’s like the end of the world and but when I reached the classroom, my teacher handed the admit card to me, the supervisor, because one of the students had actually found my admit card and had returned it to the supervisor and she handed it to me and at that time I was really relieved, I would say. And I thought, and then I just got busy and bring my friends and just forgot about everything happened.

I wouldn't like to say it, but I really think I am a very careless person as I have lost a lot of things throughout my life. So I would like to describe an incident when I lost something in public. It was during my 12th grade board exams, and the teachers in our school would take us to the exam center. When I reached the exam center, the teacher who had come with us gave us the admit cards, and I just attached it to my paper board using a clip. I started talking with my friends, and since my center was in Dharapay, Mistan, I was really busy talking with them and didn't care about other things. When I reached my classroom, I suddenly realized I had lost my admit card. It was a terrifying moment, as I thought without the admit card I would not be allowed to appear for the exam, and it would be a great loss for me. I thought it would ruin my career for my entire life. If I missed the exam, I would have to either appear for the compartment or repeat the 12th standard the next year. I started looking for my admit card all around the path where I had been. After looking for about 10 to 15 minutes with my friends, we couldn't find anything, and I was really disappointed. I thought it was the end of the world. However, when I reached the classroom, my teacher, the supervisor, handed the admit card to me because one of the students had actually found my admit card and returned it to the supervisor. She handed it to me, and at that moment, I felt really relieved. I then got busy with my friends and just forgot about everything that had happened.
