"Huftt!" Huftt! I have to hurry!
Mia took large, quick and hurried steps. The speed she showed seemed to arise caused by another energy coming from her innermost soul. Today she had a planned job interview at a construction company in the downtown. The meeting was to be held at 07:30 am. However, an undesirable situation occurred. In the evening, Mia forgot to set her alarm clock for the morning, making her forget to wake up on time. Being late to get ready, she also missed the public bus that would take her to her interview.
She glanced at her watch "Oh my! It's already 08:17 am! I'll definitely be judged badly by the employees there for being totally late on the day of the job interview!" she quickened her pace and finally arrived at her company's building.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
The atmosphere inside the interview room was very awkward. Nothing but the sound of the wall clock ticking rhythmically filled the silent room. Mia's once neat and well-dressed appearance was now ruined by sweat. The interviewers' reactions to her were also very bad at first glance.
The interview session began. The interviewers asked Mia questions about her motivation to work for the company and some personal questions about the reason for her tardiness. After explaining it rationally, she was finally able to convince the interviewers that this mess was just an accident.
She left the company feeling somewhat relieved and took a quick glance at the watch in her hand, "For God's sake! Why is time going so fast! I need to find a present as soon as possible!" Mia was shocked to find that it was already 10:11 am. She remembered that the second agenda she had for the day was to attend a birthday party for one of her nieces.
The event was supposed to start at 10:00 am. However, because Mia had been delayed in getting an interview at her company, it affected her next agenda. Now she desperately searching for a gift for her niece in the downtown, she managed to find a small teddy bear and quickly wrapped it up.
Mia quickly ordered a taxi to a residential area on the suburban. When she arrived, she saw that her little niece had cut the cake and had received many gifts from her friends. She approached her.
"Happy birthday Sophia, here's a little present from me!" Mia handed her the present feeling both happy and tired.
"Mia you're late! I was planning to give you the first piece of my cake! You don't know how much I was expecting you right next to me to blow out the candles and cut the cake together!" the little girl let out a little anger.
Guiltily, Mia pleaded "I'm sorry dear! I had a little trouble on the way I’m here, I promise I won't do it again! I'll also stay here with you until the party is over!" They crossed their fingers together and Sophia looked relieved by it all.
After a while, Mia went to reflect on her mistakes in Sophia's family's bathroom. She washed her messy face and stared at the mirror for a long time. "What a messy morning! All the activities I expected didn't go the way I wanted! I messed up my interview session and I let my niece down on her special day! I'm really sloppy!"
Her inner conflict finally came to a solution. She thought that all of this happened because Mia didn't plan all of her daily agenda to the fullest, as a result everything went awry. She promised that today she would make a daily schedule and would be serious about not being careless anymore like forgetting to set the alarm in the morning.
/The End/
The day came to an end with a resolution and I'm very sure Mia would never have a messy morning again.
We can all take a thing or two from Mia with me topping that list because I'll probably start preparing for my wedding two days before if not I won't make it in time.
that's very kind of you, thanks to pick a moral value on my story, i hope you can manage your time goodly
This is a pretty nice story, I think we've all had mornings where nothing seems to go as planned and we're left at the end of it wondering where we went wrong.
I think in Mia's case, everything goes badly but also gets resolved with ease. I think maybe she could have found it more of a challenge to get forgiveness, especially with the construction site people. Being 45 minutes late to an interview would make it hard to even get into an office with the interviewer. I think she could have tried to get in to see them, neglecting the birthday party even longer, which would have made it more of a challenge to get forgiveness from the niece.
But still, it's a good story, that kind of has the moral of, "failing to prepare, is preparing to fail." Which is a saying I have always loved, and I believe it is so true.

I can only imagine how sad your niece was... I'm sure with the new promise you made to yourself, it won't happen again.
This was a beautiful read. Thanks for sharing
Forgetting to set an alarm is never pleasant, especially on an interview day. That resulted in a series of bad events and Mia sure made a bad impression on the interviewer. Although Mia was able to convince the interviewer that it was a one-off case, we are left wondering if she actually got the job. Still, that was a good enough resolution for her to aspire to do better.

Starting the day with a messy agenda, makes the rest ruin too. Although Mia was able to get around the issue with her interviewers and her niece's displeasure, the lesson will remain for her to be more careful with the alarms to wake up. Very relaxing and fresh read. Excellent.
sure she does, thanks for reading my story, have a pleasant day for you
Plans give a better beginning and so is the ending.
great quotes, it's fit so well with us, thanks
I felt Mia's anguish throughout the story and I liked her reflection on how to improve with good planning so as not to fall back into a succession of mistakes that affect her in the work field as well as with her family. A hug
i'm glad you can feel my story, and i hope you can pick lesson one or two about mia's sloppy throughout the morning. keep it up
