I woke up and got up of bed at 5AM, fixed breakfast, and woke my son up at 6:15AM. He went to the comfort room but stayed there until 6:40, so I was late in fixing myself for the case presentation in school. There was no other means that I left to school with my son; I rode on a tricycle at 7:20AM. For the first time I was late, but I intentionally went to school late because I knew the case presentation will start at 7:30AM.
Because I am always the very first clinical instructor to arrive at the venue, the other CI’s always thought I should have been there at exactly 7AM. But I was still travelling to school, and the 2 CI’s got worried about me. The car was already in the parking area so they thought I was there but no!
Miss Cata miss-called me and sent me a text message asking me where was I. Miss AUA also sent me a message on chat if I knew we had the school activity. The other students were also asking each other if I was sick and indisposed. So when I entered the room, the 2 CI’s gasped in relief and said,’’Ma’am, we were so worried about you’’.
The case presentation started once I entered the room.
They were relieved to see me. They knew that I am punctual, so when I was not yet around, they had many questions in mind.

i was the earliest clinical instructor yesterday in the hospital, and my students were glad to see me in the lobby waiting for them.

@ridingbet I have the habit to arrive at least 10 minutes before the schedule, you never know if something may delete you. I do not like to arrive late.

i totally agree with you. coming to the area early and yet your companions arrive late, irks me, that is why sometimes i come in maybe 5 minutes prior to the scheduled time, or exactly the time.

They are not used to it because they knew you as a punctual person.

i agree with you. my being punctual is always present when the students evaluate me:"she is a punctual clinical instructor"-- is what i often read on their evaluation for me.
