I recently had to be adaptable when I was working on a project for school. I had originally planned to do the project in a certain way, but when I started working on it, I realized that my original plan wasn't going to work. So, I had to quickly come up with a new plan and adjust my approach. If I hadn't been adaptable, I would have wasted a lot of time and energy trying to make my original plan work, and I wouldn't have been able to complete the project on time.
