Question – Describe a time when you were late
You should say:
– When it was
– why you were late
– how you felt about being late
- I prioritize punctuality, a trait instilled in me by my disciplined and strict father.
- He emphasized that being punctual demonstrates dependability, leading me to arrive at appointments at least 10 minutes early.
- Despite my efforts, I experienced an exception when I was late to my best friend Ajay’s wedding last year.
- Ajay, the first among my friends to get married, had a grand ceremony with multiple functions, including a sangeet ceremony the night before.
- On the wedding day, heading to the Gurudwara 15kms away, my reliance on the cell phone’s map app led me astray.
- Misdirected to a different address due to the Gurudwara’s new location, I sought directions, realizing I had taken the wrong route.
- Annoyed with myself, I asked a friend at the wedding to share his location to avoid getting lost again.
- When I arrived, the ceremony was already underway, and Ajay playfully teases me to this day about my rare tardiness at his wedding.
