Expedition - It's almost here!
Hey Everybody!Whew - it's been a while since I've written on the blog! I've experienced a few technical difficulties but it's all sorted out, now!
I have had an amazing ride so far. One of the highlights occured just last week. I visited Algonquin Road Public School, and Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School - these are the schools I attended in Sudbury!
I cannot tell you how exciting it was to talk with the students. The students at Lo-Ellen were very keen - they had so many questions. High school is that important time where you really begin to develop the person you will become. I hope that at least one student was able to see that their dreams are not impossible, but with hardwork and dedication - they can make their goal a reality. One thing I hope these students remember: we are all our own person - and we shape who we become - by being positive, and doing your very best - you will have made great strides toward making your own dreams come true.
And then there were the students at Algonquin. What can I say! This was an unbelievable experience. The support that they showed me for this expedition was utterly astounding. I am so grateful to all of them for their support and dedication, in helping me with this expedition. Some of the students even prepared awesome signs that I use for encouragement! I even got to swap stories with some of the students! These guys and gals were really amazing! I really hope that I am able to be successful, so that I can go back to Algonquin and show them that anything they can think of can become a reality - no matter how crazy it might seem!
This visit was truly inspirational. I was so touched by the support of Algonquin and Lo-Ellen, and I aim to do the very, very best I can so that they can see that anything is possible. Thank you!
For me, just attempting Mount Everest is a huge accomplishment. Being there will, no doubt, blow my mind - everything after that, well...ohhhh-yeah!!
Take care, Everyone!
