Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to1. This is one of the exciting 2 about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of 3. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very 4 situation when climbing in Utah.
5 that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by 6 in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five 7 and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready 8 that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he banged himself 9 he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find 10.
After losing his arm, he wrote a 11 called Between a Rock and a Head Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the 12 of making good decisions and of being in control of one's life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on 13 mountains even after this experience.
Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let's think about it 14we find ourselves "between a rock and a hard place" and before we have to make a 15 that could mean life or death.
