Describe A Time When You Missed An

Appointment.

Introduction.

Time management is most important in the modern world. One who manages time in the best way gets the best results of their efforts. Missing an appointment can be a terrible experience when you hardly get an appointment. So whenever you have a commitment to meet someone you should take it seriously and if something doesn't work well you should reschedule the appointment so the other person can manage time.

When and where it happened;

Here I am going to talk about an incident when I missed an appointment for my vaccination. It was the time of the pandemic and the government started vaccinations all over the country. I booked my appointment from the Conwin application and I got an appointment in a vaccination center very far away from my hometown. As the vaccine was important and it was scarce so I booked my appointment.

What the appointment was for;

The appointment was for my vaccination and it was my first shot of immunization so I was ready and my friend took public transport to a nearby town where I was given the appointment between 10 to 11 the time frame was strict and mandatory for everyone to follow as there was heavy rush for vaccination.

What happened when you missed it;

I missed the appointment as my bus was stuck in the traffic jam and reached the vaccination center late by a couple of hours and my vaccine was given to somebody else. The medical officer told me to book another appointment and reach the venue before the time allotted as they were also given strict guidelines to follow.

And explain how you felt about missing the appointment.

I felt terrible like a loser. I was a bit angry at myself. I blamed my bad luck and immediately booked another appointment and decided to get it done as soon as possible. And from that day I have decided not to rely on any unreliable thing.

Describe A Time When You Missed An

Appointment.

Introduction.

Nobody likes to break a commitment made to others. But sometimes we fall into situations where we can not reach and deliver. It feels terrible when someone hopeful and committed is disappointed. One should be good in time management to reach the pinnacle of success and if a commitment is broken it should be taken seriously.

When and where it happened;

Here I am going to share my experience when I missed an important appointment with a local political leader i made some suggestions regarding my area and he showed keen interest in developing and getting the maintenance work done.

What the appointment was for;

The appointment was regarding the maintenance of a public park in my area and construction of an overbridge for traffic solution. In my area people are irritated by bottleneck traffic and rubbish in the park. Many times we have complained and tried to solve this issue. I had a casual conversation about this issue with a local political leader and he called me for further discussion and he assured me to arrange a workforce for maintenance and a budget for construction of infrastructure.

What happened when you missed it;

I had to meet him in the evening in his office but I was not well that day and due to heavy fever I slept the whole day. I got a call from his office about the meeting but my father informed them about my health and rescheduled the meeting for next week. 

And explain how you felt about missing the appointment.

I felt bad in the beginning but my father explained to me that health comes first and when I met him I apologized to him and explained the whole condition. He understood and we had a fruitful conversation about the development of my area. So when I got good results from my work in my area I felt satisfied. Missing an appointment is not good but meeting with bad health can also have a negative effect on work. This is what I felt about the whole situation.
