Thoughts

I am very close to finishing "No Summit Out of Sight". Our main character Jordan Romero has just summited Everest. Which is his sixth out of the seven summits he is to climb. He has worked very hard and got almost no praise until Everest, when he returned from Everest he was a super star, doing dozens of TV interview and becoming famous across the climbing and pop world. This is a super motivational book, and one of the bigger lines that I really liked from it is that everybody needs to find their "Everest". Not everyone will climb Mount Everest, but you should have a goal. You should go through life trying to accomplish and do something, get up and smell the roses some might say. I really hope that I can live my life this way, and everybody else should too.

What I'm Learning

This book has so many great morals. It is all about experience and pushing your goals. It has taught me a lot about who I could aspire to be. This kid Jordan decided when he was only ten years old that he was going to climb all of the seven summits of the world. Everybody told him he couldn't do it, and that he was too young, and not strong enough, but he did it, and taught me in doing so that anything is possible. This book shows me that I need to pursue my goals, no matter how big they are. I can always accomplish something even if it seems impossible, that is the biggest thing that this book has taught me.

No Summit Out of Sight

I am still reading "No Summit Out of Sight" the story of the youngest person to climb all of the worlds seven summits, these being the tallest mountains on each continent. This book is very interesting, and I am getting more and more into it each time I get to sit down and read it. Right now Jordan who is our climber has just summited Denali or Mount McKinley as some people call it which is his fourth out of seven mountains that he is to climb. This book is getting more and  more exiting and I can't wait to finish it so I can start an other.
