[] I am a veterinarian from Texas. I was on my way to China from San Fransisco for a convention for animal safety. I don't remember much but all I know is that I lost everything and I need some asprin. It's been a couple days and I'm feeling disgusting. I have made a little hut out of the leaves and broken branches and I have also found fruit so I can eat. I have managed to catch some fish (that was very interesting). I have found some paths and kind of followed them to see where they lead. I haven't found much but it rains a lot. *Two months later* I have made my own spot on the island. I have a better hut and a place to cook without having the fire go out. There are more animals that I have found. I created tools to use to break open the coconuts and make my food and help with little things that I need. *Two years later* I have found a different civilization and they taught me more about how to make efficient tools and a better way to make my food. They showed me how to make clothing out of the leaves and animal skins. They were hard to approach at first but soon after meeting they became friendly easy to understand. We have our own way of communication and it's pretty awesome. I've been on this island for three years now and i still haven't been found. I'm still hoping that one day they do locate me. *four days later* A couple days ago a ship found me (I don't know how) and I'm on my way home. I was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and they had been searching for me for quite a while. I finally got to take a long hot shower and clean clothes. I'm finally home and a different person. I realized that I don't need a lot of the materials that people take for granted and I'm thankful for being alive.
