• Who were you with?

• Explain how you felt about getting up early.

When did it happen?

I’m a night owl who usually gets out of bed quite late, ranging from 9 am to 10 am every morning. However, there were some occasions when I was forced to get up early, and I still remember the last time that I had to get up soon. In September of last year, I was offered the first job in my life and at that time I was made to get up early, I will elaborate on this now.

Why did you get up early?

At that time, I was a fresh graduate. Thus, I had to move to X city to join training sessions at the Head Office of the company. My supervisor booked the flight ticket. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to book an early flight for me at 6 a.m. As I received the ticket information, I was quite anxious about whether I would miss the flight or not. I set off the alarm on my phone and asked my mother to wake me up in time.

Who were you with?

My flight was with my supervisor and he arrived at the airport way sooner before me. We both waited for the other three team members to arrive and we all were able to board the flight together on time.

Explain how you felt about getting up early.

Finally, I made it, though I felt so sleepy. I fell asleep as soon as I was on the plane. It was such a frightening experience as it was the first time I went on a plane, dealing with all kinds of stuff at the airport in the early morning on my own.

Luckily, some kind people were willing to help me with my suitcase, which made that experience less difficult for me. As a youngster, I was in the habit of staying late at night and getting up late, too. However, I feel I should change this custom to improve my health.
