One of the most memorable periods of our lives is when we are in school or college. We all have a variety of student experiences that, as adults, we look back on with fondness. But for a variety of reasons, certain events stick in our memories more than others. I would like to relate one such special memory from my time in college: volunteering at our campus fest.
My undergraduate institution hosted an annual festival when numerous other universities from our city took part in various competitions. There were multiple competitions held on a single day, and the event continued for an entire week. I applied to be a volunteer at the festival during my first semester of college in an effort to obtain some useful experience. I was in charge of managing and coordinating the activities on a specific floor. I can recall feeling very anxious about my obligations on my first day as a volunteer. But with the support of my team, I was able to complete my tasks successfully, and the day went without a hitch.
I can still clearly recall how relieved I was when the first day of the event was finished. We had a great time at the restaurant where my classmates and I had lunch. The events that occurred and the things I had to do each day caused them to be very different. The whole thing was tense and thrilling at the same time.
Since this was the first time I had been given so much authority, I still think back on my time as a volunteer at my college festival. Even though there were times when I thought I would be unable to complete my work, I was able to achieve the standards set by my superiors and also gathered valuable experience.

When I think back on my life, there are many memories and situations that stand out, but if I had to pick one, it would be the time when I was a secondary student and purposefully forgot to turn in an assignment. Unfortunately, I also received a penalty for this.
The schoolteacher requested me to make a presentation. I initially treated this endeavor casually. Every day that was allotted to me, I played games and went exploring. Even though I gave myself a deadline for completion, I was unable to meet it. I eventually lost all memory of my presentation.
I was astonished and shocked when the teacher questioned me about the presentation on the day of submission. I was so embarrassed at the time that I was completely at a loss for words. The teacher inquired once again, and when I remained silent, she understood. I became aware of how careless I was as I observed the ferocious expressions on her face. I would suffer as a result of my forgetting such a crucial assignment, which would affect both my performance and grades. And eventually, what I had anticipated happened. I received a zero after the teacher took away all the points for the presentation.
Everything about the situation was regrettable, and I still feel horrible about my error. I became more cautious and avoided making any additional mistakes as a result of this occurrence, which was a positive thing. Full attendance, on-time submissions, and better outcomes were the outcomes of this.
