Elevator Observation

Improved Essays
This year at the beach I panicked about all the things that happened. First, I rang the elevator alarm. Then the elevator quit for a whole hour because something interfered with the motor! When we traveled to the beach I went with my mom and grandma.At first we were going to be traveling to the Smokey Mountains. We all thought it would be fun. When we got there a storm was traveling our way but we went down to the beach anyway. When the storm arrived everyone panicked. Luckily we got to the elevators before everyone else. Then instead of pressing the elevator door close button I accidentally pressed the alarm button then the elevator quit working and we got stuck. It happened at night which caused us to start panicking.

    As a little girl, I spent a majority of my summers on the beach with my best friend, her mom, and my mom. It is my happy place, out on a towel with my toes in the sand and a book in my hands.

She and Ms. Selina would take me and Jean Kendall to the school to pick out a book to read before we left for the beach and we were ready to go.…
