I’m gonna share my experience of getting stuck in a traffic jam last month. This was a memorable situation because I are generally needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Anyway, I usually rely on a location app to find the fastest route, but since I was in a hurry that day, I completely forget to check the app before leaving. So let me tell you in more detail about the situation. After driving for a while, I ended up stuck in a major traffic jam due to a bad accident and dead intersections. I was feeling both frustrated and stressed because I need to get to the hospital quickly to discharge my mother. Being unable to move forward made the situation even worse. I strongly believe that such a traffic situation can really increase a person’s anxiousness, especially when there is something urgent involved. It was a tough moment for me. With regard to the future, I will definitely make sure to use the location app every time, especially when I’m in a rush. It’s a small step that can make big differences.
