 Mt. Everest journal entry:

Why Everest?????
“For twenty years I taught elementary and
special education in Steamboat Springs, CO.
My goal as a teacher was to help children
believe in themselves and not be afraid to
try. Now it is my turn to learn that
lesson. In attempting a goal as lofty as
Everest, I give myself permission to try. I
have to believe in myself, in order to live
my dreams. Sure, I may not always succeed
at what I attempt, but there is no failure
in that. The success is in the journey…it
is always in the journey.” |
