Dear Ms. Liverpool,
I am deeply remorseful for being late to your class after lunch yesterday afternoon. I am
well aware of the fact that students should be prompt and ready to learn when returning from lunch. If we are not on time, you can’t get the class settled and continue teaching. In this weird predicament that is second lunch, we students hold the responsibility and duty to return to class on time. It is essential in order to get the full lesson and not waste your time or our time. I understand that I have no plausible excuse as to why I was late because I know that coming back late from lunch is unacceptable as we have thirty minutes to tend to ourselves. Moreover, being in your class for the about three months now, I should know your strict rules on tardiness. I will make it one of my topmost priorities to never be late to your class ever again. Now that I understand the significance of being late, it really has become second nature to understand the principles to being on time to class. My personal needs should have been taken care of before the bell had rung. Although I believe I was late for a good reason, that thought is placed in a secondary position when it is juxtaposed to the importance of promptness. In order for me to achieve and become the best I can be in your class, I need to be on time in order to begin with the rest of the class. I have seen it demonstrated in class where students come in late and do not know what is going on. It has dawned on me that you are trying to prevent this from happening by ensuring that students are on time. I know that you have to apply this rule of punishment towards anyone who is late because of the principle of the matter. See you after lunch today: on time!
From,
Terrence
