Show me don't tell me

When writing descriptive sentences we need to use adjectives and be very descriptive. I will write a "telling sentence" you will need to change it to a showing sentence.

Telling sentence: Every morning before school I do the same thing.
example of a showing sentence: Each morning I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock as I crawl out of my bed and slowly walk to school using an identical routine everyday.

1. I walked over to talk to the boy. (make this a showing sentence)
