The lifeboat experience was very hard for me. I would never wish for anyone in my peer group to die. This experience made me very sad. I would never want to say goodbye to friends if I were dying. I did not like to sort out in my head whether people should die or not. I have a special compassion for people. I don't believe that anyone should have to die. When I had to say goodbye to people like my grandmothers, sister, brother, friends, and put a rose on my mother's grave and one on my father's grave, it shows how much I love people. I was also thinking about Shiela's little girl when I went around to her, I don't like thinking like that at all. I began to think that when the boat was drowning it is was my turn to go to sleep and wonder if my mother felt this way when she died. I now understand her, I think just from experiencing this exercise. This exercise is a very important lesson because it teaches me that I have to tell people how much I love them. I felt small when I was done sharing for one minute why I think I should live. Because I kept on babbling the same thing over a few times. There should have been more reasons why I should live - why I felt small.
