Furthermore, I will even 2 help and when my offers are refused, I am 3 willing to walk away. And all these changes came from a disaster on an island.

I was once a traveler who never asked for 6 , 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 7 . I was swimming in the ocean with Sean, my fiance(未婚夫), when he was 8 by a box jellyfish(箱型水母). He 9 within three minutes, 25 years old. Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted 10 , stubborn pride and force of habit 11 me accepting. But two young Israeli women stayed. 12 my protest(反对), they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the 13 of Sean’s death. It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the 14 industry. The Israeli women 15 have walked away. 16 , without even telling me, they 17 their schedule rather than leave me behind.

18 I didn’t realize it at the time, I now believe I would not have 19 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 20 is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble, but also helps you know the real meaning of life.
