    Im sorry, i will never come late to your class ever again if thats the case. do not fail me because i would have even more classes failing if u do fail me and i don't want that to happen, my mom would get pissed off and would take everything away from me.

    The reason I was late to class today was because of the train delay. I got to the train station on time & the sign said it was delayed at another stop. So I waited for 10-15 minutes for the train to finally arrive.

    i am late to class because after waking up late due to my alarm clock being broken as i tried to get into a pack train i was pushed out and forced to wait for the next one and when i got on the next train it was delayed after getting off the train i took the bus which broke down half way to school and i chose to walk instead of waiting for the next one.

    Well Im Not Usually Late To Class Only Once In A While. But If Im Ever Late To Class Its For A Good Reason Like Staying With My Last Period Teacher For A Extra Minute Or 2. Other Then That I Have No Reason To Be Late To Class. Or Maybe I Was Walking Slow To Class To Take My Time. Maybe It Was Hot So I Didnt Wanna Move Fast. Thats It.

    I was late to class today because Dr. President didn't let us in class because we came in late from the fire drill. It was not out fault that there is many students in school and it took a while for us to get in. I don't think it was fair for her to not let us in class.

    I was late to class because my mom was in the hospital and i stood up late last night and you know how hard it is to sleep in those situations. We stood up until 4 in the morning in the hospital so we didn't exactly sleep well. I woke up late and well, unfortunately i couldn't make it in time even though i would've loved to.
