Alone in the woods..
I never imagined being alone in the woods, but now I would just have to survive on my own until they find me.
I had just been separated from my hiking group about an hour ago. I was getting really thirsty and stopped by a lake to get some water to drink and take a short rest. I ended up taking a long nap. I woke up and found my self still right by the lake, shocked at first. I quickly got up; as I was looking around for my hiking group I finally realized that my group had left me alone! Many thoughts were running through my head at this time. How could they just leave me alone like this? How am I going to get back home? What am I going to eat? As I was starting to settle down I grabbed my backpack and headed toward a big tree. It was starting to get dark, and I was really tired so I decided to go to sleep.
In the morning I woke up to a bird peeking at my head. Shooing it away I noticed something in a bush a few feet away. As I got closer I noticed that the thing in the bush was a map. Excited I graded the map and read it. According to the map it said that there was a main highway around seven miles away. As fast I could possibly run I grabbed my bag, went to the lake got a big jug of water, and took of.
A few hours have passed and I’m so close to being in town. Just a few more steps and ill be in town. I learned my lesson to never take a quick stop during a long hick or I may never make it through like I did this time. I am very lucky.

Moral Courage Project..Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks has moral courage because on December 1st in 1995 she refused to give up her seat on the bus to make room for a white passenger. She was put in jail for saying no. Marten Luther king jr. and Rosa Parks changed the civil rights together by sticking up for there race. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King jr. created black history month which is in February for there acts of moral courage. Rosa parks got attacked by a man in 1996 in her home because of what she did on the bus. In 2005 Rosa Parks passed away at the age of 92.
