Write about an occasion when you found yourself having to deal with an emergency

I became panic-stricken in a lift containing four people including me. One of them was breathing heavily which was suffering from asthma, forgotten to bring his inhaler, he lay on the floor in pain. Another one of them who was an old lady was coughing badly, needing her medicine running out of it. The last person there was a young muscular and fit teenager standing there not knowing what to do.

All of this started when I woke up late at around seven in the morning, throwing my blanket a side, and running towards my wardrobe taking out my necessary item and changing in my uniform in a flash. I was running towards the door with a slice of bread on my mouth and half-way wearing my socks. Rushing towards the lift with my shoes untie, waiting there impatiently

It was seven ten in the morning; the lift went slow, because I was leaving at the tenth floor it will take about one minute to arrive at the first floor but today there was something weird happening. The lift should be going faster because there were only four people in it. I felt scared because this was unusual. Then suddenly the lift jolted and came to a stop. The boy began shouting feeling scared. he then was breathing heavily saying that he has asthma attack, searching his pockets for an inhaler.

Just as one incident was happening, another occurred. Now the old lady was coughing badly, saying that she needed her medicine but she ran out of it.

"Does anyone have a hand phone because we can contact the police with it?"said the teenager, I lend my hand phone to him but when he try calling there was no signal.

"I have an idea. This is how it goes; you are strong and fit which should be able to open the door lift and I am small which I'm be able to fit through it, from there I can call for help.

The teenager started opening the door, with much strength the door opened. I started going through the small opening which was on the top left. Finally I managed to go through it.I ran towards the nearest public hoe and make a call to the police for help. They manage to come in two minutes and rescue the boy and the old lady.It was 7.35a.m then, I took a taxi to school because I was late 5 minutes. On the way to my school, I was thinking of detention in school and what will happen when I arrive there. To my surprise the school gate was opened, from there I was astonish, usually the school gate would be close after 7.30a.m but now it was open. I ran towards the hall where the assembly would be taking place. I entered the hall with a round of applause when everyone in the hall was looking at me. The principle called me to the stage, beside was a policeman holding a medal. Then I have relised that I was not late for nothing I have done a good deed which the medal I receive was the proof.
