Answer 1

Answer:

When I was frightened and afraid of the consequences of something

 

Each one of us faces the fright or fear of the consequences of some reckless actions we might have done in some time in our life. Man is a bundle of mistakes, carelessness, and inexperience during his early years. I had to face it quite a many times during my childhood and adolescence.

I vividly remember I was in my 9th class. I had been selected for my school cricket team. My life became a little busier. In the evening I had to go for practice session. By the time returned home, I got pretty tired, physically and mentally both. I had little inclination for studies. I made my cricket training an excuse for not studying. I must tell you Math was my only challenging subject. However, I did not do anything about it. I just postponed studying it.

The tide of time never stops. The academic session began nearing culmination. My final exams were just a few weeks away. I realized I was not prepared for them. A panic began developing in my mind about concerning my passing the final exams.

As the exams approached I began feeling sure about my ill-preparedness for the Math exam. I tried very hard to solve the complex Math questions; but I could not. The final date sheet was handed over to us. I knew I would fail in the Math exam. The day of the exam arrived. In the examination hall, I was all confused. I attempted all the easy questions I knew, as for the difficult questions, I left them unsolved.

I had lots of holidays before the result was declared. I spent all my days in panic and fright. I knew I would fail in Math. I also knew my parents would take me to task for my poor performance. I realized at that time that we have to be accountable for our poor time-management; we have to face the fears of our own recklessness ourselves; no one can share our worries.

However, I was in for a surprise. When the result was declared, I managed to scrape through Math exam.  I felt so relieved and happy. My parents were surprised to see my happy at my very moderate grades. But they did not know my fears. It was at that time I pledged never to make excuses and procrastinate taking the right and timely action.
