Narrative Essay ( LIEW XIU JING 5S1 / 9 )

Hello,I am a teenager and I’m not an old, perhaps I am starting to be forgetful someday
when I am growing old. However, as a student, I am forgetful at such a young age. Even my
mother who is 50 years old now has a better memory than me,she remembers everything as
clear as water.

My mother often asked me to meditate and be aware of my body and mind,but I always
forgot what she taught me about meditation.Starting from high school,I am not being
mindful at all about my daily life. I blame nobody for that.

As a student,forgeting to bring textbooks to school is actually a terrible gratitude.I was

so ashamed by myself when I kept forgeting to bring textbooks or other materials as I have
to stand up in front of the whole class throughout the lesson.What a shame ! However,this
lesson did not teach me to remember to things.

Other than textbooks, I was amazed about myself that I can also forgot to bring
pencil case or the stuff inside my pencil case.It was also hard to me because I’m shy to seek
help from others since I was a child. I want to do it all on my own unless I had given up or
else if I am capable,I would definitely find another way to achive success instead of asking
for help.

Thus , I did not learn a lesson until one incident happened. It happened during my
end year exam which is very much important to me. That day, I am having Mathematics. So
when the exam was about to start, I checked everything ready on my table including
calculator,rulers and prepare to take my books and bag out of the class. Suddenly,my
friend,Janice grabbed my notes and read them anxiously. I wondered and ignored as I know
she will return it back to me. Well, I expected that Janice would hand it to me outside of the
class. Nobody knows that she actually put in under my desk.

Everything was going fine until I wanted to construct a circle. I had a great shock
that my compasses was missing. Hence,I raised up my hand to get permission from the
teacher to take my compasses in my bag outside the class. The teacher stood by me and
stared at me with her sharp,almond eye. Seriously,I had butterflies in my stomach and I
know there was something not right.

The teacher took out a stack of notes under my desk and said that I’m disqualified
for this exam. My soul is crying and heart was breaking into fine pieces when I knew that it
was Janice who put it before exam starts. After that,Janice apologized to me for her stupid
mand careless mistake. However,I am the one who did not checked my desk when it was
teacher’s instruction.Therefore, I received an ‘egg’ from my Mathematics teacher that year.

Finally, I learnt my lesson from that moment . What I am trying to share is try not to
be forgetful as you might face your greatest regret in your entire life especially you are
forgetful about the most precious ones. Lastly, I swore to myself that I would not be
forgetful again.
