A problem I encountered and how I managed it

     This morning, I was nearly late for school, this is probably the first time i got so close to being late.

     Last night, i reached home quite late and there was a pile of homework which i have not done. I struggled to rush through my homework, but eventually i did all of them but it did took me a long time and i ended up sleeping much late then usual. Afraid I was not able to wake up on time, I told my parents to wake me if I cannot stay up.

     The alarm was ringing and it cut my beautiful dream of getting full marks in an exam. After the rude awakening of my alarm clock, i went to shower. But, I was so tired, that right after i showered i went back to sleep.

     Soon after, my parents woke up, they tried shaking me a little to wake me up, but it did not work. There was very little time left before school starts, so instead of trying to wake me up gently, they just took buckets of cold water and dumped everything on me. I was soaking wet, but I was wide awake, and thanks to that I made it to school on time.

      Luckily I thought ahead and told my parents to wake me up if I could not stay up, otherwise I would have been late for school. I am also lucky to have such good parents who sacrificed some of their sleeping time to make sure I reach school on time.
