Special occasion for which I arrived late I would to talk about a time when I was late for an entrance examination in 5 years ago. The exam started at 8.00 am. I woke up early that day and had prepared student uniform and exam ticket in advance. Everything seemed to be alright but it was not smooth as I had expected. My mom and I left home at 7.30 am. Normally, it takes only 10 minutes to get to the University but that day traffic congestion was serious due to an accident on the main road. I was becoming very nervous and worried that I cannot reached the University in time. When I finally arrived at the University at 8.10 .I was shocked that I could not find the exam room so I spent approximately 10 minutes to find it. There was no one outside the room at that time. I was running as fast as I can while I looked for the room number. Finally I found my exam room, I really exhausted and sweated too much. I had to take a few minutes to calm down before I took a look at the exam questions. It was the best lesson that taught me to be prepare for the unexpected events. Life is not perfect, everything can not be as we planned. After that, I am always on time or arrive before the designated time to make sure everything will be okay. I think it is important to be punctual for any kinds of appointments. " Time waits for no man", if we miss the chance, it may be hard to find another chance again. Punctuality is good habit that everyone should have. I was wondering why we have to go to school at 7.45 am and sing the national anthem at 8.00 am. All students are required to attend flag line-up in the morning. School helps the children to be punctual and responsible. I rarely arrived late to school, but my best friends were always late. Not only arriving to school, but almost every appointment. They are always late and have the same excuses. I have been thinking about this question: why some people never seem to be on time. Everyone is late now and then. It is acceptable. However, some people habitually show up after an event has started or after the hour. I am curious why these people never manage to leave the house until the time they are supposed to have arrived at their destination.
