Presenting another essay, this time during the earlier part of my Primary four school year, entitled "The missing book from the school bag" ...
“Oh no, I am late for school!” Sarah thought when she
looked at her alarm clock. She then immediately made a beeline for the
bathroom. Her round face and her brown doe-like eyes were filled with anxiety.
Finishing her bath, Sarah rushed into the dining room where her mother had
placed Sarah’s breakfast.
Like a voracious wolf she gobbled down her breakfast
before rushing to pack her school bag. Sarah had not packed her bag the
previous day. She raced against time to pack her school bag. When she thought that
everything was in her school bag, she shot out of her house like an arrow. In
her hurry, she had accidentally left behind her English textbook.
Reaching her classroom, Sarah looked at her watch and
realized that she had reached school in the nick of time. When all the students
and the English teacher, Mrs Ong reached the class, Mrs Ong began her English
lesson. She asked all the students to take out their English textbooks.
As everyone took out the English textbooks, Sarah
rummaged her school bag frantically in search of her English textbook. Two
minutes later and it hit her like a ton of bricks. It then dawned upon her that
her English textbook was left at home. Beads of perspiration began to form on
her forehead and upper lip. Sarah felt a flutter in her chest. At that
juncture, her friend, Matthew who was seated beside her, tapped Sarah’s
shoulder lightly. Looking at Sarah, Matthew enquired politely, “Would you like
me to share the textbook with you?” Sarah replied, “Yes. And thank you,
Matthew.”
Since that day, Sarah was happy that she had made a good
friend in Matthew. She also made it a point to sleep earlier on school days so
as not to have the incident repeat itself. Sarah also never did things at the
eleventh hour ever again.
