I'm On A Boat

Last Friday, 16 students were chosen to act out a situation. The situation was that we were on a boat and the captain crashed us and we were going to sink. We all got on a boat that only held 9 people. Since the boat could only hold 9 people, 7 of us had to get off the boat. As a group we had to figure out who should stay and who should go. I was one of the people who got the boot (off the boat). I was an old woman, 60 years old, a native from New Jersey. I am a mother of 8 and have 29 grandchildren. The group narrowed down decisions of who should leave the boat and who should stay. "My husband" and I were both voted off because of our age. This upset me because people just to the conclusion to get rid of the "old people", which is a bit judgemental. But I see where they are coming from because we were going to "die eventually"....:/ Overall, it was an interesting class to see how we would react. Out of the 9 who survived, I guess they were just the fittest out of us all.
