The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Runway changed to alternative and before student could get repositioned for alternate, the main runway reopened. Student flustered at all of the repositioning with the pattern full of other aircraft positioning to land also. Student felt rushed to accomplish landing. Aircraft stalled early causing hard landing and student failed to add power, allowing aircraft to porpoise.
