Last week, I went to a camping with my friends. During the first day of our great adventure, the unexpected happened. While in a boat, we felt that there is something wrong. Water started to pour in. Our tour guide told us to calm down since majority of us are already shouting. He also told us that maybe we can throw our things to lessen the weight of the boat. Not wanting to throw our things, we decided to sort our things and look for some that can help us survive.

We found out that mostly everything we have at that moment cannot help us survive except for a climbing rope. How can it exactly help us? We are in the water and not in a mountain? It took us minutes to think about the right thing to do. I can still remember the fear and trauma we felt that very moment. After few minutes, we decided to tie the climbing rope on the boat leaving our unnecessary things, jumped off and swam while holding to the rope going to the nearest shore. Every time I recall that moment, I always felt how grateful we are and how a climbing rope saved us.
