Everything went wrong this morning. First, my alarm clock didn't go off. Then, my sister was hogging the shower, so I couldn't use the bathroom. I burnt my toast but didn't have time to make another piece. I couldn't believe I was going to be late for my first day of my new school. I would already be the center of attention as is being the new kid, but now I would definitely drag more unwanted attention my way when I waltzed into first period 20 minutes late. Ugh! Finally, I was on my way to school when I passed a horrible wreck. It turns out, if I had left on time, I would've potentially been a part of that! Now, 20 minutes late to school doesn't seem so bad!

How would you summarize this piece?

• A girl had a bad day.

• A girl couldn't take a shower before school.

• A new kid at school.

• A girl was running late to school, but it turned out to be a good thing.
