How To Write A Personal Narrative Essay
Ice.
About fifteen years ago I was climbing Mount Everest and lost my footing and fell a good ways down the mountain, my leg was broken I couldn’t move I tried to get up and walk but I would just fall right back down. This story is about how my Nervous System and my body itself saved my life.
I was sitting on top of Mount Everest for what had been three days now. I was cold scared and had little food, I was doing my best to stay warm but I wouldn’t do it alone my body had to help out. My body was doing its best to maintain homeostasis. The brain is using my spinal cord to shake my body, (shivering) so that I may stay moving and stay somewhat warm. At this point I’m terrified almost certain that I wasn’t going to survive. Another cold …show more content…
night has passed and at this point I am telling myself that I have to move I have to get somewhere warmer, I crawled as best as I can for about 3 hours and found myself in a cave, it was warmer in this cave then in was outside. I am proud of myself I made it somewhere warm. I’m hungry, I don’t want to eat the last of my food, and I’ll have to save it for when I really need it. I kept myself warm and alive for two days and finally gave in. I ate the rest of my food which wasn’t much at all.
I finished eating the food, and I’m still starving, at this point I realize that I’m not going to survive this situation.
I just give in, and I lay there, shivering and I don’t have anything covering me keeping me warm it made no since to me to try and save my own life I was too far up the mountain to climb down and there was no way that someone was looking for me. I decided to try and fall asleep. Maybe I would die sleeping, it as I finally started to doze off I heard footsteps, and I thought it was a bear or some type of animal the footsteps were getting louder. I thought I was going to die for sure, not from the cold weather but from something wild that wanted to eat just as much as I did. Just as I thought it was over for me I heard a voice. “Justin!” I was so relieved to hear another person’s; I used the little strength I had left and said, “Over here!” The rescue team rushed to me and put me on the stretcher and rolled me to the helicopter. If it weren’t for my body maintaining homeostasis, and my Nervous System doing a wonderful job of keeping me alive I would not be here today. Thank you those who were involved in saving my life on that tragic day, and I thank my body for keeping me alive so that I was able to live to tell the
