day on a desert island
A Day In My Life On A Deserted Island.

The first thing that hit me was the was the smell. Even before I opened my eyes I knew where I was. The tantalizing scent of washed up waves rolled into me,(Smell). I felt the millions of grains of sand hot against my fingers and the cool breeze against my face(Feel), a relief from the sweltering sun. I heard the sea crawling onto the sand and further away,(Hear). As I opened my mouth to take a gulp of air, I tasted salt in my throat. It was a fresh, clean air as if taking in pure oxygen,(Taste). Only then, when my four other senses had taken in their share of the surroundings, I allow myself to open my eyes. I was amazed as I opened my eyes of how bright it was,(Sight). As I stood up I saw that I was alone in this place that I have never seen in my life, But I wasn’t worried about being stranded forever for two reasons, One, there were ships passing by, and I could make a smoke signal to be rescued. And two, I could do what I want without anyone to say otherwise and here I could only rely and depend on myself. I was glad I was the only one in this tiny island.

Favorite Object From childhood.

Toy! To some people it might sound childish. To others it might sound dumb,(Hear). But, to the rest of us, "toy" is a word with a lot of sentimental value. I'm sure we all had that one special toy that you couldn't go anywhere without. For me that toy was an old, miniature jeep. I could only play with it at home and during the day. But I still loved that jeep the most. It is weird because I felt that I had all the toys in the world and still loved the most simple toy. When I got the jeep, it was so shiny and bright. It had an amazing red exterior and an awesome blue interior,(See). I can still remember the smell of what I thought was new, clean plastic,(Smell). But tasted like rubber infused in plastic,(taste). It seemed like it was always charging but, I guess I was just always playing with it,(feel). It

    As she walking to class, something caught her attention, the shore outside. She went outside, they were allowed to go outside without permission. She walked outside and she could feel the breeze going towards her and she could feel the warmness of the sun reflecting on top of her head. She saw how the waves were moving in a steady motion and it splashing on top of the soft sand. She could hear the palm trees moving gently.…

    One morning, we decided to go out with some of the guests from the hostel for a hike along the hills by the seashore. These hills were covered in thick blades of grass but had rock faces that were pointed out towards the water. If you looked to your left you’d see these hills go for miles; mound after mound, circular shaped huts with cone shaped roofs sitting on top. African trees as well, looking as if the wind was blowing all the branches to one side of the trunk but they stood absolutely still; frozen in time. To your right you’d see the ocean go out for as far as you can see, while standing on a cliff with an almost vertical drop. From looking at the cliffs from the sides, it showed the many trails descending down the cliffs made by mountain goats and every once and a while you could see one half way down; climbing up. Although our surroundings were incredible, the heat was as well. We went through several bottles of water through-out the hike. Our leader, an African local, lead us down one of the more climbable hills to the ocean floor where it was covered in rock. With the sun beating down on us we felt trapped because we couldn’t swim in the water, the waves were too strong we’d be thrown up against the rocks.…

    The wave was murky coming towards like a rigid and supreme barrier. It began to coil over, he looked up the wave loomed over him. His father’s words came back to him giving him an urge of determination “a true mariner never deserts a sinking ship.” It heaved itself onto his boat. The boat shredded apart, jagged pieces of timber where floating and he was left sinking. His boat had plunged into the depths of the enigmatic ocean. The salted sea pricked at his delicate eyes and his spectral face white washed. He was crawling for breath kicking his feet neurotically. He managed to clench onto a residue of his boat his naked fingers scratching the plank and splinters dashing up his finger nails. For him time felt suspended. His clothes saturated with water clinging on and sticking onto his skin. He was wrinkling like a prune. He had a vacant expression, solitude was conquering him. He had to overcome this despair as the turbulence of the storm…

    Jonas stared at the restless waves, as they curled and crashed. The sound calmed him down. He walked out from under the cooling shadow of the palm tree, and into the hot sun. Immediately, he felt a rush of heat. The sand burned against his bare feet, and his mouth was dry.…

    We were all sucked dry from the sun that day with zero energy left, we scavenged what we could and we still ate better than we could have at any local dinner. The day was still long and was only going to get hotter and longer even as the day came to a close. There was more things to do around the land than there was at any theme park. So as we all sat around and waited for something to do you could tell that everyone was thinking the same thing as sweat poured down all of our faces. The cold spring fed creek was the only thing that was going through my mind and I knew that was the only thing going through anyone else’s. We walked down to the creek as there was no other way that you could reach it, and as we got closer and closer you could hear the light eco of the fifteen foot waterfall coming off of the trees. The only thing I was looking for was the spit of the water flowing up through the large oak and misquote tree branches. You knew when everyone saw the water, you could see the sight of the crystal clear water shining off of everyones eyes and you could tell that there was a sudden sign of relief that came upon everyone after the long walk through the large misquote trees avoiding as many thorns and cactuses as they possibly could, being careful as could be you weren't going to miss all of them. And there was no better feeling than soaking your wounds in that…

    Small beach goers speckle the shallow ocean waters, Lifeguards alert stop there rise, searching for troubled swimmers or my next victim. I wait patiently, invisible lurking the waters silently. I am alone, empty, and hungry. I am feared, in your worst nightmare perhaps. Whisking you away into the vast deepness, where it is calm, dark and painful. My coldness slows your body and your lungs being to drain. You struggle to fight for air but it is too late, you take a last breath before, your head sinks. Confused, you begin to struggle swimming down deeper hoping to reach the surface. You open your eyes the salt water burns and you see nothing. Your head pulsing, heart burning, pain pumped…

    Our designated skipper started up the engine welcoming us aboard. Everything was calm as we glided across the water. The atmosphere was peaceful, the sun was shining, our skipper/tour-guide was being comical, and I felt hope well up inside me. As we moved further along, the waters became murky and grim. The waves were no longer steady, but crashed against our boat, spraying me in the face with salt water. My heart began to race and my cheeks flared. I still don’t know if the salt I tasted was from the water or the tears that I shed. Our commentator then led us to a boat house. The doors closed behind us as we were engulfed in total darkness, nothing but the sound of my heartbeat and the waves lapping against the boat. I shut my eyes and prayed that nothing was lurking in its mysterious…

    The desert survival scenario taught me how to think rationally and demonstrate effective interpersonal skills. There is a certain time when we need to act as a group to achieve a goal, maybe to survive. The SDI and the desert survival scenario were intertwined especially during discussions. In a group.

Red characteristic behaviors tend to be competitive, forceful risk taker and self confident, Blues trust, helpful, modest, devoted, caring and supportive. Green characteristics are cautious, principled, fair and reserved. Hubs posses the three characteristics combined. All these four colors have an overdone side of each.…

    The howling of the wind brought my eyes to open. Where was I? Focusing in the dark of night, confusion washed over me as I came to realize I was in the desert. Distant landscapes of dry and worn rock surrounded me, and beneath my bare feet I felt the gritty sand caught between my toes. I was surrounded by those rocky hills and yet as I scanned the desolate desert it seemed never ending. The irony of the nighttime desert suddenly set into my body; that ghastly wind moving right through me and chilling my bones to that of splintering ice. The need to move started me forward though, and I felt a sharp ache all over, my body trying to fight against change. Was I lost? My heart began pounding fast in my chest, the blood pumping through my veins felt like an icy river. So slow, but I trudged onwards, hope holding onto a possible lie. It was when my pace held steady that a sudden wariness alerted me to foreign noises. Soft hissing sailed through the air waves, accompanied by a more mechanic static… What was that? It slid right into my mind and took me in a hold. I halted, my feet sinking into the sand. An uneasy paranoia gripped my chest as the noises mirrored me, pausing just as I did. Sickness rose like bile in my throat, I could feel eyes upon me… somewhere. I began to move again, desperate to leave this place now. Stubbornly, I stared towards the endlessness of the chilly desert, refusing to look back. I dared not to look back. A strong gale came, making my hair flail out behind me and the tiniest of noises began to spiral around my head with unseen stealth. The static came back, but mingled within it was a wicked giggling. I looked around uneasily, head turning to look and search all around me. Where was it coming from? All I saw was those silent, unmoving rocky hills…The giggling continued to move all around me, fading in and out of hearing range, corrupting me to an edginess that brought on an unwanted burst of adrenalin. Burning tears began to well up in my eyes,…
