Being Late For School

Lynn Chang

     In my college life, being late is the most serious problem for me. And I figured out three situations that cause me to be late for classes. First, my home is too far away from the school. It takes me two hours to get to school. If I had a class at eight o’clock, I have to get up at five o’clock. It’s very painful for me to get up early, especially in winter.

     Second, I have to change the transportation three times. I need to know the schedules of the train and the school bus. If one of them came late, I might miss the school bus and late to the class. For example, I usually go out to take the bus at eight o’clock if my class starts at ten o’clock. But sometimes the bus comes very late then I would miss the train or the school bus and late to the class.

     Third, I usually wake up too late. I think this is the main reason that causes me to be late. I love to use computer to chat with my friends or to watch TV, and I tend to forget the time. As a result, my sleeping time is too short and it makes me hang in the bed when I am supposed to get up. I stay up late, miss the bus and get to school late.

     Being late is a bad habit and it brings me many problems, for example, giving a bad impression to the teacher, influencing other students, etc. If I don’t want to be late, I should fix my living habit. I should sleep and get up earlier. I hope I can do it and no more lateness to the school.
