It was the last bell of the day, and I rushed out of school, excited to meet my friends at the park. As I jogged down the sidewalk, I suddenly realized something—I had left my backpack in the cafeteria. My stomach sank. That backpack held my homework, my sketchbook, and my favorite book.
I sprinted back, but when I got to the cafeteria doors, they were locked. Panic rose in my chest. I imagined my backpack getting thrown away or someone else taking it. I didn’t know what to do.
Just as I was about to give up, I spotted the janitor, Mr. Lee, sweeping near the gym. I explained my problem, out of breath. He smiled, unlocked the cafeteria, and helped me find my bag tucked behind a chair. Relief washed over me as I slung it over my shoulder.
Walking home, I realized how careless I had been. That backpack wasn’t just a bag—it carried the things I needed and valued. From then on, I promised myself to slow down and double-check before leaving.
