Greetings, everyone!
I think this topic is the best because I'm going to reveal my character of forgetfulness today 😂😂. Forgetfulness is part of human beings because we are not perfect. Even in the Bible, the five virgins forgot to carry their oil, and that made them foolish and missed opportunities. Do you know skipping important information can ruin your day and it can affect other parts of your life or destiny? You can also miss opportunities.

My NYSC Addendum skipped my mind
This is what happened to me. Before I left for my orientation camp, I printed out some of the letters and forms and put them in one file inside my traveling box. I reached the orientation camp with the hope that my printed materials would be intact and easily accessible when needed. I went straight to the registration point for my documentation with my friends, and the man asked for an addendum letter. My friends were with it, but I didn't print it out, and I wasn't with it either. I had to rush to the Mami market to print it out before I returned to the registration point, my friends had already gone far with their registration. I started from scratch and it was really disappointing. I followed the process till the end.
Forgetting important things is always annoying and painful. So we should be careful and put ourselves and our documents in place to avoid unnecessary problems that would cause our day.
Furthermore, one happened in year 3 during my examination period. I left my school ID card at home, and reaching the gate, the gatekeepers didn't allow me in because I pleaded, but there was no way, and it was time for my exams. I had to rush home, funnily enough, there was no bike or tricycle at the point I needed. I was shading tears and at the same time, I was helpless, I felt like fainting. At last, I went back home, carried my ID, and returned to school; lo and behold, they didn't start the exam, and I almost fainted. God is merciful and faithful in all His ways.
Nevertheless, I skipped one of my friend's birthday, and it was a big problem. I tried as a human to retrieve the day and date, but there was no I could do that. To my friend, it was as if it was intentional, but not knowing it skipped my mind. I was looking stupid at the point and tried explaining to him, but it seemed he got annoyed the more I explained. Just to make peace in the heart of the young man. I had to visit him and take him out, and he was happy, and at peace with me, from there, I was able to apologize, and he accepted the apology.
Skipping or forgetting information can ruin our chances of success and can also spoil our relationships with people; we just need to be careful and detailed with some things so that we will not miss out.
