Yesterday was a day to forget at school. It all started when I arrived late and realized I had

forgotten my homework at home. During the first class, the teacher gave us a surprise exam and
I felt completely unprepared. Plus, I tripped in the hallway and everyone laughed at me. It was so

embarrassing.

During lunch, I sat at the wrong table and spilled my food on my new shirt. Not only did I ruin
my lunch, but I also felt incredibly embarrassed in front of my classmates. After lunch, I realized I
had left my math book in the science classroom, which meant I wouldn't be able to do my
homework that night.

In P.E. class, I sprained my ankle while playing soccer. I had to be taken to the nurse's office and
couldn't participate in the rest of the activities. I felt frustrated and sad for not being able to join
my friends in the game.

Finally, when it was time to go home, I realized I had missed my bus. I had to wait for almost an
hour for my mom to come and pick me up. It was a day filled with setbacks and embarrassing
situations that I would rather forget.
