Greetings dear friend. Hope you are enjoying the best days of your life.
Patience is very much important in one's life. You said you are a kind of short tempered person, but you tried your best to control yourself. This is very positive of you. Many people of us are Short tempered, it's natural, but controlling it is the best thing.
You try to leave the place which create an irritating situation for you. I do the same and really help to reduce my anger.
Huge respect and love.
Best wishes for the contest.
