“Telling”:It was 7:00am and it was really cold outside. I felt nervous about the day ahead.

“Showing”:The sun had just crested the horizon and the sky was painted with splashes of pink, gold, and orange. My breath froze in the bitter winter air as my stomach turned inside out with anticipation of the day ahead.
