Writing - My most embarrassing moment

Last week for writing, we wrote about our most embarrassing moments. Here are some examples by a couple of students.

My most embarrassing moment

I was in the mall. I asked mum if I could go to the toilet. While in the toilet, I realized I was in the girls toilet.
I scurried out of the toilet. I was so embarrassed. Everybody looked at me. My face went so red.
