Before the ※ESAT-J, I realized I had left my exam ticket at school. My parents were shocked. My father said, “Go get it now,” but it was already night. My mother scolded me, “What if the school is closed tomorrow?” The next morning, I began my “mission.” The exam was in the afternoon, so I went to school early. I felt like a spy sneaking around, especially near the teachers’ room. My heart was pounding, but I found the ticket and quickly ran home. I made it to the exam on time. Even though I started to panic during the test, I got an “A.” Mission accomplished! As long as the result is good, everything else is fine! (119 words）
