[参考范文]
It was only a small mistake but it changed my life forever,
In the year 2001, I took part in a review class for 2002 MBA entrance exam. I studied math, administration and other courses everyday. I tried my best to study those courses in order to pass the exam.
On January 17, 2002, it was the time for me to take part in the exam. I was very excited and nervous. I checked my stationery again and again. I even forgot to have my breakfast on that day. When I went into the classroom, the examiner asked me to produce the ID card. Oh, my God, what happened? I forgot to bring my ID card with me. Therefore, I missed the math exam. As a result, I lost the chance to pursue MBA courses that year.
Then, I was arranged to a branch company in another city. Because I was new there both to the position and the environment, I was busy making myself be suitable to the situation, Therefore, I would not have time to prepare for the MBA examination anymore. Time flies fast, three year later, the branch company was closed for not running well. Since I did not have MBA degree, I lost the management position.
Consequently, my whole life changed.
