Team Everest. . . . .

Tonight myself and a neighbor from down the hall decided to go and watch the newest film being shown by the school office of student activities.  The movie was Team Everest: A Himilayan Expedition. This film was about a team of disabled Americans traveling to the base camp of Everest.  Which is a challenge in and of itself for a person of normal capabilities.
This event really showed to me what it is that challenges people, and what it takes for them to do things.  I also came to understand their personal determination towards achieving a goal under their own personal strength.
During the program I was able to sit and discuss with other students what it was like to undergo such a challenging task, as even a fully capable person.  We also were able to just see and understand together what it is to have determination and an understanding of needing to fulfill your personal goals.
I realized how inaccesable the surrounding high peaks region is to those who are handicapped, limiting on the sights they can see.  They will never be able to see what it is that brings the true beauty to this region.
