Ashley O'Connell Final Exam

Chuck was a fedex supervisor. He wanted to have the fastest mail delivery business throughout the world. Chuck did whatever it ook to try to develop that dream, or that goal that he wanted to accomplish.
Chuck's calling was his job. He felt mthat he was in fact called out to have the best delivery service in the world. He did everything he could to make that happen. For instance he he took a boy's bike and used it to deliver everyday mail. He had set times that he wanted letteres and packages, he wanted to have in the trucks for delivery.
One day his job recquired him to leave his fiance at an airport to deliver a package. This was the threshold that he went through. So he went, he got on the plane to deliver this package after telling his fiance that he would see her soon.
That all changed after Chuck's plane crashed, ahich of course was the descent of his journey. After the plane crashed he took the the blow up raft and floated on open waters for at least a day. His abyss was the island that he was stranded on for a total of four years.
While being stranded on the island he had a volleyball and a picture of his fiance which then became his mentors. Things that he felt that gave him hope to stay striving to live.
In the four years that he was stranded on the island a wall of a portable restroom floated ashore. He sat and looked at it for a while, he saw a potential raft that he could construct. This became the transformation of leaving the island or the near ending of his journey. So he built the raft and left the island, which he then was found by freighters of a freight ship.
In the creation or return of his journey he delivers the last package and becomes a changed man in the sense that he just lives life one day at a time. He doesn't rush things anymore. He just lets things be the way they come. An example of this would be when his fiance had gotten married and had a child during his journey. He did not try to fight or win her back even though he was very hurt deep down inside.
Chuck is a true hero!
