Introducing a time you got up early

I am a health conscious person. So I always wake up at around 7 o’clock everyday. But today, I would like to talk about an event when I had to get up in the wee hours of the morning.

When was it?

Last Month, I had my final high school exams…more specifically, it was the day of Biology exam.

Frankly speaking, Biology is not my forte! so I was tensed days before the exam, and the examination stress drove me to wake up at the crack of dawn.
