I have a problem with being late despite it being my biggest pet peeve. I was impressed with your article, and I'm going to print it out and hang it in my dorm room. Thanks for writing it.

It made me see being late in a way that I had never seen it before. I had never thought of being late as disrespectful, I merely brushed it off to the fact that I had to look faboulous everywhere that I went, and that time was the price that I had to pay in order to acheive that goal. Unfortunately for me, that way of thinking has translated into, my losing of jobs that I really loved and wanted to have a real future with. If you haven't guessed already, I am a person who is chronically late....no I mean SERIOUSLY CHRONIC....throughtout the years, I have missed important tests, (in both high school and college), meetings at work (or otherwise), and various social gatherings where my attendance was expected ( one time I was supposed to be a guest at my cousin's wedding, and walked in just in time to see them walking down the aisle AFTER saying their vows and kissing!). And with all this being said....I'm only 23...I've got a long road to go, before I actually get into my career (with the help of God!)Long story short...I need help, I don't know what to do....am I cursed with the inability to make anywhere on time?
