I believe that losing things can always make a person vulnerable. So today I would like to talk about a time when I lost something in public. I vividly remember it was the time when I recently got a job at Trigo Global Quality Sholison as a quality inspector and they have provided identity cards so that we can tap it on the door and can enter it. So just a week later when I went for a shopping with my sister, when I went for grocery shopping with my sister at that time we were shopping all the things and when we came back I saw that something was missing in my pocket. When I checked my pockets then my card was not there. I do recall that it was in the same pocket where my mobile phone was. I do remember that while taking out my mobile phone some sound came up falling but I didn’t check at that time. So I got scared and I thought that it would be surrounded and I was very much nervous as it was just my beginning of a new job. Then suddenly my sister told me that let’s go to the shopping mall again, the shopping center again and search around it. So she saw the card lying at the same parking lot where I parked it. She found it and I thought that I am so lucky to have her to find that card. It made me feel overjoyed and I was above the moon.

I believe that losing things can make a person vulnerable. So today I would like to talk about a time when I lost something in public. I vividly remember it was when I recently got a job at Trigo Global Quality Solutions as a quality inspector, and they provided identity cards so that we could tap them on the door to enter. A week later, when I went grocery shopping with my sister, we were shopping for various items, and when we came back, I noticed that something was missing from my pocket. When I checked my pockets, my card was not there. I recall that it was in the same pocket where my mobile phone was. I remember that while taking out my mobile phone, I heard a sound as something fell, but I didn't check at that time. I got scared and thought it would be lost, and I was very nervous since it was just the beginning of my new job. Then suddenly, my sister suggested that we go back to the shopping center and search for it. She saw the card lying in the same parking lot where I had parked. She found it, and I thought I was so lucky to have her help in finding that card. It made me feel overjoyed, and I was on cloud nine.
