Emily had been so focused on preparing for her math exam that she completely forgot about her history assignment due the same day. When her teacher asked for it, Emily admitted the mistake. Expecting a penalty, she was surprised when the teacher said, “If you can send it by tonight, I’ll accept it with a small deduction.” Emily worked on it all afternoon, managing to finish before dinner. The experience taught her to always double-check deadlines, no matter how busy she is.
