A Problem I Encountered And How I Managed It

  Today was quite a fustrating day. I woke up in the morning and realised I was alittle late. To be exact, 30 minutes late. I woke up fifteen minutes late! That meant that I had to skip my breakfast and go straight to school, which I did. Thankfully, I made it in time for school at my record late time, 7.22am. I dashed to the paradde square at the speed of light and got myself ready for morning assembly. After that, we got back to the classroom where the boring lessons started. We first had Science then Mother Tongue and then reccess. After reccess, we had a period of PE Theory and after that was when my trouble started.

  It was the Home Economics and I had to search my entire bag to find my lunch box for putting the food we made. It was nowhere to be seen. I had no choice but to be deducted of marks during the cooking process. We were told that we were going to make some buttered bread thing. I felt excited but also already sad because of the lunch box I forgot to bring. After the teacher had given the instuctions and taught us how to make the dish, we started. I took the sugar and lemon and mixed it together while my partner, Egmont beated the eggs and cut the bread. I spread the butter all over the bread and preheated the oven. we soaked the bread in the mixture for about 10 minutes. After that, we put in the dish.

  Then, after the 20 minutes or so of the baking process, things took turned out bad. the bread was cooking too fast and it was all nearly burnt. I took out the dish and asked the teacher what to do to the disastrous bread. She told us  to redo it. I did as I was told and did it. Coincedentally enough, Egmont had a bad tummyache and had to go to the toilet. I had to do the dish alone. I followed the procedures carefully and made the dish turn out even better than before. I checked the temperature of the oven and found that it was at an astounding 225 degrees! I lowered the temperature to 15 degrees and waited for the temperature to lower. I then popped it into the oven. This time, it turnded out much better. Egmont got back when the bread was baking and when our dish was done, we were given full marks but I was deducted of half a mark for the lunch box! If only if I had brought it!

  Although I did not get full marks, I was very pleased with the results and Egmont even thanked me for helping him get the marks he wanted. I learnt that I should have more perserverance and determination.
