I’m out of breath, my body is weak, my legs are trembling, my heart cannot stop beating, and my body is slowly shutting down on me. I have lost all my faith and I can’t fight this pain any longer. I’m tired of trying, I just want to give up but I won’t because I refuse to be the girl who isn’t strong enough to do things on her own. I’m sick of always depending on others I want to prove to everyone that I’m not fragile and I’m actually a strong young woman. I have been walking around this desert for about 2 days stranded with only three objects a flashlight, compass, and my phone which has no service. I know that I could’ve brought better things to help me survive in this deserted island but I just wanted to know how it feels to encounter such a huge issue. I wanted to include food but I knew that I would probably locate sources of food and nutrition in the form of berries, leaves, and small animals in the deserted island. However my flashlight was a better tool because it has benefited me in a great way mainly by assisting my survival efforts; it enables me to be productive in the evening and early mornings. Without a light walking in the dark would be very dangerous and risky. One thing I didn’t want was an injury or fall prey to animals. As for my compass I knew that it would be necessary for this journey because it helps to navigate the island and helps me find my way back around. On the other hand my cellular device was actually the number one thing that I needed for this trip considering the fact that it held all my text messages of people doubting me and not having faith in any of the actions I chose to take. My phone helped remind me of the reason why I am in this situation and motivated me to not give up. On my way to this island I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish such as building my self-esteem, gaining power, and being dependent. These three things meant a lot to me and I was going to make sure that these goals got cultivated. My

    I think that these events foreshadowed Okonkwo’s and the Ibo tribe’s demise because every single one of the events affected Okonkwo negatively and led to some of change in his life. It starts with Okonkwo’s father being a bum in the tribe and neglecting his responsibility to his family. His death was also degrading because his body was thrown in the forbidden forest and Okonkwo always worked towards not becoming someone like him. However, at the end Okonkwo’s “burial” is the same and he becomes the failure he tried to avoid. He considered himself a failure because he was unable to rid the tribe of the colonists because he could see that the culture was diminishing but he failed to bring the tribe to fight after his exile. He was exiled because he killed a boy at the wedding which he was invited to after he killed Ikemefuna so that he could clear his mind with a distraction. Overall, every event led to something which foreshadowed Okonkwo’s demise as well as the tribe’s.…

    Courage Definition

    • 1841 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Mainly my religion. I am a catholic so my faith in God and his promises gives me strength and courage. My other sources for my strength are my sisters. I have five sisters and it is my responsibility to be courageous for them in order to keep them safe and teach them how to be strong and courages themselves. There is a bible verse I think of when I am in need of courage: “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will never fail you nor abandon you” ( Deuteronomy 31:6). Reading this scripture reminds me that I will never be alone and God will not give me an obstacle I cannot overcome. “You have to be strong for your sisters” is something I was always told growing up. Being the second oldest out of six daughters I had a lot of responsibility. One of those responsibilities was being strong for my sisters. As we faced difficulties and tragedies I had to be the one my sisters could lean on. I believe that is why most of my courage comes from God. Given that I do not have the closest bond with my parents, I only had trust in God as problems arise. As an older sister it is my duty to be able to compose myself and reassure my sisters that everything will be okay and nothing bad will happen to them. And at times I just wanted to vent all my feelings and emotions out but I had to be the one to deal with all the difficulties when no one else would. I have to be the refuge for my sisters. “But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). This verse inspires me to leap into acts of courage. Even if I have doubts about the action God will be by my side providing me with strength and will not leave me alone. I can only succeed when acting in courage. If I do nothing, nothing will change. If I take action, only positive…

    As soon as I was born, my life was in jeopardy. Ever since then I’ve been fighting to keep up, and now I am thankfully completely healthy. I have pictures of myself lying next to a small pillow, and somehow the green and white checkered cushion was twice my size. That’s what happens when you’re born months early and averaging four pounds. Since then, I’ve had four major surgeries and have used my resilience to push myself forward as I continue to be involved in activities in and out of school. I learned that instead of not doing anything and feeling sorry for myself, I had to be proactive. So I gained self-confidence, unwavering drive, and maintained a kind heart no matter what life threw at me. Because one day, after overcoming obstacles trying to bring you down, there will be a happy ending and the light-up shoes that’ll make everything worth…

    After around a quarter of an hour I reached my destination, which was a hole in a chimney located in the high walls near Manoel Island` s fort. I fetched the torched from within my back pack and then crawled into the dark hole. After around 2 hours exploring the shelter I came to a spot which was outside of the shelter with steep, high walls on each side. I thought to take advantage of the situation and have lunch. I found a flat platform within the confined area, put on my walkman` s headphones on my ears, and while I listened to its music I prepared and ate lunch. It was to go on with the exploring, therefore I began to put everything back in the back pack. While I was doing so I mistakenly hit my torchlight and it fell in a tight, deep gap between the platform and the wall. I tried to reach it, but it was so tight that I could not reach it. At that moment I panicked because without the torchlight my chances to find my way back in the darkness of the shelter are near zero. Additionally, I could not wait for any help as no one knew of my whereabouts.…
