Grand Canyon-c’est magnifique-is located at Nevada,USA. I have been there twice, at the age of 4 and 11. My family toured this glorious Canyon both on land and by air via forever vibrant Vegas. But if I were given another chance to go there again, I would want to stay overnight,go hiking in order to experience the other side of its grandeur.

What made me recall of this magnificent Grand Canyon-one of the seven wonders- was because I spent my Friday night watching ‘I shouldn’t be alive in frosty Canyon’. It was about two brothers-Jeremy and Justin-went hiking in Canyon during winter. You can imagine how cold it was in this deserted Nevada during year end. Unfortunately Jeremy slipped and fell into the valley of Canyon and his right shin was broken and Justin went through hardship to find ways to save his brother. On the other hand, the injured brother Jeremy not only had to endure the unbearable pain on his leg but also had to fight against the frosty winter to prevent himself from falling into deep sleep and also had to worry about Justin if he would be able to find his way out from the vast mountainous Canyon. At last, Jeremy was saved by the voluntary paramedics although he had his right leg amputated due to fatal toxic emitted from his wounds. They both SURVIVED through thick and thin. And I believe this is what we meant by brotherhood!


Strong fighting spirit and faith are the keys to success in everything we do. I may not be able to experience what ‘Brotherhood’ is as I am the only child at home. But I am sure that I will equip myself with strong fighting spirit and faith in everything I attempt-Never say die,will be my next motto!
