Survival of the Fittest

On Friday, 16 students were chosen to act out a situation. The situation was that we were on a boat and it sunk and we all got on a boat that only held 9 people. Since the boat could only hold 9 people, 7 of us had to get off the boat. As a group we had to figure out who should stay and who should go. I was one of the people on the boat. And I was an old man who could barely walk and I had a cane, I was 60 years old. The group narrowed down decisions of who should leave the boat, and "my wife" and I were both voted off because of our age. I was kind of upset that people jump to conclusion to send us off just because of our age, but then again i guess it was okay since I lived my life already. But, I dont think its right that they just assumed that since were older we should get rejected because were going to "die" soon. Overall, it was an intresting class to see how we would react. Out of the 9 who survived, I guess they were just the fittest out of us all.
