Corrected paragraph
When I woke up this morning, I realized I was late for school. I rushed to get ready and forgot to eat breakfast. I ran out the door with my backpack because I didn't want to miss the bus. The bus was already leaving, so I had to run after it, but the driver didn't see me. Although I was out of breath, I finally caught up to the bus, and the driver let me on. I sat in my seat, feeling relieved. My friend asked me why I was so late, and I told her about my morning. She laughed. After I got to school, everything was fine.
