Personal Narrative: Survivor

Decent Essays
I have been watching Survivor ever since I can remember. Every Wednesday night my family and I will sit down and watch survivor together. Throughout the years of watching it I have learned many valuable life lessons. Ranging from loyalty all the way to general survival tips and these are some of the most valuable ones.

All's fair in a game
Survivor has taught me that all is fair in a game. There's only one thing that can hold you back from making decisions. Morals. This goes very deep like if you swear on people's lives in the game and then break those promises it can help you get farther in the game but it can still hurt those who trusted you; it can also be disrespectful to the person you swore upon because it could show you don't think

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold.

    It is the morning of July 4th, 2008: I groan as my mother gently whispers, “teneshi yene mar (Get up honey)”. Struggling I open my eyes and notice the trembling cabin, I turn to my mother with a look of concern and she reaches out her hand and squeezes my own looking up at me, “we are going to be okay Mar”. A couple of moments later our plane has landed, we gather up our belongings and make our way towards the exit filled with people attached to their screens and MP3 players. The airport is filled with an undercurrent of anticipation, impatience, and boredom; bodies scramble back and forth from one gate to another. My mother, attempting to balance three children, clasps my hand, holds my little brother to her waist and calls back to my older…

    Since December, I have been working hard on running an outdoor education trip called Advanced Survival. Through POST, the outdoor education program at my high school, last weekend I successfully led a group of 40 students on a multi-day backpacking trip teaching about survival skills and appreciation of nature.
