Response to 1st prompt




I think that Gallien did not feel he was in the position to tell the cops what was going on. Gallien believed that Chris seemed like a normal young adult that obviously was on a mission of some sort. It is hard to go out of your way to help a complete stranger, especially if they didnt even hint at wanting help. Gallien was put into a very difficult situation, but i think he got the vibe that Chris didnt want any help and that what he was doing needed to be done for some sort of reason. Besides Gallien thought that Chris would be like any other person and just run away for a little while and come back when he was ready. If Gallien called the police it wouldnt have solved anything. Growing up i have had many instances where i just wanted to get away and not be bothered...id want to go somewhere knew about so i could just be with myself and if someone told on me while i was trying to have alone time i would hate that. Gallien did the right thing it really wasnt his place because he had no idea why Chris was going into the wild.

Hey guys! My names Samantha Collins, but most people call me Sam or something along those lines. haha Im from Sammamish, Wa, and yes people call me Sammamish all the time as well. I went to Eastlake High school and have played softball my whole life..that is until college. I was on varsity all three years of high school and was captain my senior year, the same year we won 4A state champs! :) I have lived on the lake my whole life and love ever single moment of it! My family is really close and probably the most spastic out of anyone in the world. I am a big animal lover especially dogs. I have a long haired miniature daschund and he's the cutest little guy in the whole world! When i was in fourth grade i taught him how to sneeze on comma and and its prolly the funniest thing to watch him do. It was a great ice breaker in high school ;) haha. Im a sophomore right now...cant believe it already. I have mixed feelings about being at WSU, but im putting up with it as of right now. Im going for a Business Administration major and hopefully one day owning my own company, but we shall see where life takes me! I enjoy writing especially things that interest me...I have had a journal my whole life, well since the fourth grade and love looking back and reading what i had to say throughout my life.
