Last night, I got so engrossed in watching cartoons on TV that I forgot to do my homework. The next morning, when my teacher checked my notebook and noticed I hadn't done the homework, she didn't scold or criticize me in front of the class. Instead, she gently asked for the reason. Remembering my promise to my parents and teachers to always tell the truth, I honestly explained to my teacher. After hearing me out, although she was a bit disappointed that I had been playing instead of studying, she still kindly reminded me to complete yesterday's homework during today's self-study period. Determined to keep my promise, I diligently finished the assigned tasks. When she graded the notebooks, she praised me for being honest and encouraged me to uphold this commendable trait. From then on, I no longer neglected my studies for play.
