I have always been an independent person, but I have come to know that being independent does not mean refusing help. I may still be 16 with asking for help, but I try to accept. Furthermore, I will even 17 help and when my offers are refused, I am 18 willing to walk away. And all these changes came from a disaster on an island.
Sometimes a person’s independence is a 19 of pride, daring, stubbornness and luck. I used to be too 20 since I was little. I was once a traveler who never asked for 21 , choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way.
Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan, in Thailand, everything 22 . I was swimming in the ocean with Sean, my fiancé, when he was 23 by a box jellyfish(箱型水母). He 24 within three minutes, 25 years old. Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted 25 , stubborn pride and force of habit 26 me accepting. But two young Israeli women stayed. 27 my protest(反对), they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the 28 of Sean’s death. It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the 29 industry. The Israeli women 30 have walked away. 31 , without even telling me, they 32 their schedule rather than leave me behind.
33 I didn’t realize it at that time, I would not have 34 the disaster without these great women. Actually, the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it. I have learned 35 is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble, but also helps you know the real meaning of life.
