desparate measures

A time when I was stuck in a situation is when I was in the car with my sister and she was driving us to the mall. It had a lot of snow on the ground but my sister did not care she said she needed something to wear. Well we were turning down the road and it was a lot of snow on the ground, we got stuck and we couldn't get out. We did not have our phones on us so it was like a scary movie. we were very frightened, we were so desparate we had to knock on a strangers door. It was an old man that answered the door he smiled at us and told us to come in. We declined and walked away. we went to another house and it was and old lady, she was nice and brung the phone out to us we called our mom and she came and picked us up.

Convincing

I convinced a woman to not jump off a ledge of a building yesterday at 3 p.m. It was kind of scary because I was walking to the store and while I was walking I saw a large crowd surrounding a building. They were all looking up so I looked up and saw a woman hanging off a ledge of a building. This feeling set in and without thinking I ran into the building the woman was hanging off of. I ran up to the window and asked her what was she doing. When she saw me she had a surprised look on her face and she said "I locked the door, how are you in this room." I did not answer her I just asked If she could come off the ledge so we could talk. She shook her head no and start scooting closer and closer off the edge. I instinctively grabbed her arm and climbed out the window towards her. The look on her face I knew she did not think I would be out on the ledge with her and to my surprise I didn't either. I asked her again what is she doing and she said she was escaping. That threw me off a bit but I asked her what is she trying to escape from and soon as I said that the police started coming into the building. She tried throwing my hand off her and scooting but I did not let her. I told her "think of your family and what you would put them through it you did this, just come down." She said okay  and came down and went home.
