April 27, 2026 Yesterday I was on the plane to a national convention to spread my company in Africa. The plane I was on was attacked by tribal people who took control of the plane and made us crash. Most of the people drowned but I was able to latch on to one of the strong metal strips from the plane and floated in the Atlantic Ocean. I landed on this island early this morning and there seems to be alittle civilization of people, but I haven't been in contact with anything yet. There are lost peoples' belonging that have been washed ashore that I have seen but haven't opened yet. I wasn't prepared for survival since I was on my way to Africa to spread Subway, which is my company, and had a reservation in a hotel that is basically a palace. My name is Leah Sponseller and I'm the CEO of Subway and have a nice ranch house in Montana with a few horses, and a golden retriever Dixie. I'm really hungry right now on the island and hope that I can have the humans to help me hunt for goods. I'm not use to hunting with no rifles, so this might be interesting. I have found fruits though and hopefully they are okay for me to eat. I'm kinda nervous here because I don't know how this whole survival thing goes.

April 28 Well last night wasn't very successful for me because I couldn't sleep and kept on thinking that one of the humans that I haven't seen is going to attack me or something. This morning I kinda successfully hunted for my breakfast by hunting fish and kinda had a somewhat fish sandwich. After finally eating something I decided to explore the island. I was kinda happy that I found some people but they didn't exactly communicate the greatest. They were surprised to see another human on the island but I think they were okay with it. They invited me to their little shelter area where they stay and live. Their living area is alot better than mine, that is for sure. I'm just sleeping under a big tree with alittle of coverage, when they actually have little huts. They seem to be really helpful because they fed me a pretty tast lunch or fish and berries. I would say this is fine dining for where I am. It is hard to understand the people sometimes, but I can understand that they are letting me live with them, which I'm very grateful for. I am assured that I will be safe, because I don't know what harm they could do to me. Hopefully tomorrow they can help me find a way to be rescued. I guess the people aren't crazy...thankfully last night it was only a nightmare.

April 29 Last night I slept a whole lot better. I actually ended up waking up by the people poking me, scared I was dead. Luckily the weather here is very tropical and warm. It hasn't rained which is good, because at night it gets cold for some reason. If there wasn't fruit trees here, I would be so hungry because I'm getting tired of fish. The people have treated me so well, I'm pretty sure they are smart too so they can help me build something to get off the island. I asked them if they could build something big to sail on and right away they start running around looking for material to start building. I'm not sure what their plan is about our boat thing but I'm thinking it will be done fast. I'm so glad they aren't crazy people and think I'm trying to take away their island. I think tomorrow is the day that I will be on my way to the "real world".

April 30 So last night I was trying to sleep, but all I could hear was the people hammering down supplies for a sail structure. When I woke up this morning I was shocked and ecstatic by seeing that our little yacht thing was done and looked very successful. We started rowing on the ocean by used these really wide sticks that were long and strong. There were about five of the people and I that went to help me sail away for rescue. The other villagers gave me a gift of a huge basket of fruit. I never ended up opening the belongings of the lost people, so I decided that I would give them to the village people as a thank you gift for all their hard work and help. Hopefully tomorrow I will be in the "real world" starting to work more on Subway and ways to improve it. Right now, I have to help row.

May 1 The first day of May is today and it is definately a celebration. I've been rescued and am in my office catching up on all my emails of my business summaries for all the new Subways. The village people are definately strong because they were able to get me to civilized land in just one day. When we got to a town they were curious and decided to explore for awhile. I decided to show them around for alittle bit. You could tell that they were amazed about everything. They didn't explore for long because they wanted to get back to their island before dark. My co-workers wanted to hear about my whole journey with the village people. In a short summary, my experience was a good and productive one. I learned to do alot of things on my own and those skills I think will help me improve Subway.
