Metal Box
How would you feel if you got stuck in a four by four metal box? And it was pitch black? Eunice, my older sister and I wanted to go ice skating , so our mom took us. I was so excited and we had been begging my mom to take us. When we arrived at the ice skating rink, Eunice and I went to the second floor to rent our skates, so we took the elevator. When the elevator doors opened, we mysteriously look inside the elevator small, rusty,and dark, went inside. As the elevator travelled down, we heard a strange noise. Unexpectedly, the elevator shook like an earthquake, swinging side to side. Shortly after, the shaking stopped and we made it to the second floor. Trembling and horrified, we looked at each and agreed, we are not taking the elevator. We met our mom at the second floor and skated like nothing happen. During the time we were having fun skating , Eunice and I were concern where our mom went , so we went looking for her. Thinking perhaps she went to the first floor. We needed to go to the first floor ,but the stairs was crowded and we were too lazy to go up the stairs after skating, so we took the elevator. The elevator doors open and a cold breeze came out and hit us. We went inside doubted anything would happen to us. I slowly press the button. Just as we were going up, the elevator stopped and darkness came in. I heard my sister continuously repeating my name. Like a mouse, it became silent and Eunice stopped saying my name. It was so quiet, I could hear my sister heart beating rapidly. I didn’t know how long we were in there ,but it felt like we were waiting in line at Disneyland. During the time that I waiting on something to happen , feeling helpless ,scared ,not knowing what to do, the elevator started working. We came out trill and delighted that nothing happen to us. When we came out, we found our mom and told her the tragic story . She chuckle while we were telling her ,but it wasn’t a laughing matter and it was a scary experience. But when I tell someone about this experience, it actually makes me laugh. I don’t know why but it does. I would never forget this awful experience because I don’t think something scary ever happen to me . The most important thing I learn is to not be stuck in an elevator with my sister ,unless you want to be hug to death or her nails digging in your skin. Even thought, my sister and I use the stairs , there will be a time when we will use the stairs ,so when I do ?
THE END!!!!!

PSA excepting yourself <3 We wrote a Public Service Announcement (PSA) targeting middle school students. The topic we chose was excepting yourself. Like your appearance or personality. We looked up facts about it, and found out that 25% of students dislike their appearance.
_______________________________________________________________________________TED talk We had a ted talk event November 13, 2015. For those of you who don't know whats a TED talk is, it's a showcase for speakers presenting great, well-formed ideas in under a certain amount of minutes. I was voting from the class to speak at the ted talk. My ted talk was about how dance is important to me and the history of hip hop.
