Therefore, be selfish and take care of yourself. “Juliane took responsibility and made a plan, she had a task to complete. Tough and clear headed, this teenage girl, who had lost her shoes (not to mention her mother) on the first day, saved herself; the other survivors took the same eleven days to sit down and die.” (Gonzales). Gonzales wrote an excert “From Deep Survival.” Taking care of yourself can do you a big favor and get you somewhere, but helping others and waiting for them cannot always be something good for you and your future.
