Everything was perfect. I boarded my flight at 12: 35 a.m. at the Atlanta Airport as planned, and my dad was going to wait for me at the gate in Omaha at 3: 00 a.m. As I got to my seat in the back of the plane, I thought I would finally make it home that night. Just as I got comfortable, the flight attendant announced that this flight to Omaha, Nebraska, had been cancelled.

I had never had a flight cancelled before. I just had one delayed. At that time, I was with my father. Our flight was scheduled to leave at around 7: 30 p.m., but it was moved to 11: 20 p.m. My dad told me to sit on a chair while he figured it out. At the time I thought nothing was different because my dad had always taken the lead in these situations.

As I walked off the just cancelled flight, I took out my phone to call my dad. He was speechless and could do nothing because he was not with his 14-year-old daughter. He could only tell me to try my best to get on the first flight home.

I decided to walk to the desk to reschedule my flight, only to find that many other flights had also been cancelled that night. The line was so long. When I was settled in my place in line, I decided to check my phone: 1: 31 a.m. After around two hours of meeting new people and sharing our life stories, the line barely moved. We spent the night complaining. All of a sudden, it was 6: 15 in the morning and we had made it to the front of the line!

Right about now was when I wished I would have listened to what my dad had told me. I thought back hard and remembered him being very respectful to people and asking as many questions as he could. He finally got the tickets we needed.
