Prevail to Suvive
Everyone is faced with a frightening decision that their survival depends upon, like this summer when I went bridge jumping for the first time with some friends. We had just arrived at the bridge by Rush Lake when my friend, Chris, pulled up on his motorcycle. I decided I'd sneak up on him, jump on, and give him a big wet hug. When I jumped on I had swung my foot around and told him to take off, but what I thought I was putting my foot on was actually the muffler. I screamed and jumped off and realized that I couldn't feel an ounce of pain where my foot had touched. Five minutes later, though, the pain had started and my foot began throbbing. I was feeling the most pain
There is no doubt that the young adults currently serving in the military live with fear, no matter where they are stationed. I had ever been in before and I knew I needed to get to a hospital. My mom rushed me to the hospital with my head out the window screaming and hyperventilating. Moreover, though we may be faced with a decision that has a negative outcome we may fear, the right decision will prevail to be better in the long run. Though they may not be invited to some social events, some students may choose not to drink underage because they know getting caught can affect their reputation for years to come. The burn cream didn't help much, but the ice was like putting a pacifier in a baby's mouth. Taking the ice off only made things worse. That fear is part of their survival mode as they defend their own freedoms and those of the rest of the world. At the hospital, the nurse gave me the option to receive a shot, which I fear, of medication. Their serving is much more short term when put next to the many years of freedom and happiness to come for those of the countries they are serving. The injection was painful, but I knew it was worthwhile because the medication stopped the pain and put me in a happy, relaxed state of mind. Instead, we went to a gas station and picked up some burn cream and a bag of ice. In short, with survival will come tough decisions that we all must make and sometimes, perhaps, the fear must be lived before the best outcome can take place. Later, at home that night, my mom told me that I needed to ease myself off the ice so I wouldn't wake up at night in pain.
