The One Moment
A large crowd of anxious teenagers tried to crowd into the huge building all at once, but, of course, were unsuccessful. I got out of my mom’s silver Volvo and in the middle of the parking lot, examining the old building. What was beyond those , red double doors? I didn’t have an answer. My feelings were indescribable. I was nervous, but at the same time. Knots(结) were turning inside my stomach. My curiosity was getting the better of me. I got the to walk up to the doors, but I couldn’t open them just yet. I had to pause (stop) and . Whatever lay beyond those doors could change my forever! I didn’t know what the results would be. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to imagine them . My trembling arm and took hold of the handle. A gust of wind blew into my face I opened the door. My heart was rapidly and I stopped breathing. I stepped forward with my right foot and the door shut me. The nervousness left my stomach, but the excitement with me. I had finally entered high school. I had been waiting for this moment my whole life.
