I Broke a Rule

I broke the rule

        When I was in grade seven, I felt that I was so lucky because of the opportunity to start a new academic pursuit  as a high school student. When our  teacher in Navotas National High School told us the rules and regulations, I thought that I should follow the all of them since these will make me more disciplined  and eventually help me get good grades in school. One of those rules is to avoid being late and absent in school. Since I was in the morning class, I have to sleep early in order to avoid being late in school.

          One day I woke up late. Monday is when we have our flag ceremony. I ate my breakfast, I took a bath and I wear my uniform. However, I came to school late. Trembling in fear, I and my other schoolmates were asked by the teacher in charge to write the reasons why we were late in a ¼ sheet of paper. The teacher warned us not to be late again. I felt so disappointed   to myself because I belonged in a higher section and being there means that I have to be a model of discipline and punctuality.

            In that situation I realized that following rules is important to us and I also realize that the rules are built for our own sake. We should follow rules to give respect   to everyone because if we follow rules all people have a discipline to themselves.
