I Climbed A Mountain!!!How's it going folks? I hope life is good for all of you. So this Friday I had an opportunity to hike a mountain with one of my school classes. And let me tell you, it was amazing! The fresh air, the views, the company, all of it was delightful! So, I'm going to give you the rundown so you can see just what a teenage author does during some of his free time. So lets hop right in. The First PartThe first part of our hike was relatively easy. Except I didn't feel so at the time. The thing you have to understand about me is, I am not a light guy, and I don't hike nearly as much as I want to. So this was a challenge for me. By this point my legs were already burning, as well as my lungs. I suppose it's a lot like life. The first part it retrospect is easy, but it certainly doesn't feel like it at the time. We grow up as children, without a care in the world, but it for some reason feels hard. And then the hard part strikes. Speaking of, here's where the hard part comes in. The Hard StretchIt was all nice and easy until we hit the hard part. We went practically straight up the mountain. I for one had to stop frequently to rest, and of course take pictures. All I can say though, it the effort is worth all those amazing views! Most of life is an uphill climb. Climbing up in age, climbing up the "corporate ladder," etc... But why climb if you don't take in the view of how far you've come, right? And then you reach the peak. The Peak!After hours of climbing, we finally reached the peak. This was it, the great success. And then I saw the lovely tower sitting on top. I wanted so badly to climb it, take the ultimate peak picture. But unfortunately no one was allowed to climb it, so I missed out on the perfect photo opportunity. Such is life. But we certainly need to take in the view and admire how far we've come. It's not every day you climb a mountain. And then you have to get down. The DownhillDownhill has its own challenges. It can be hard on the knees, but it can be darn spectacular. There was one spot where the mountain divided between nature and civilization. Take whatever lesson you like from that. We also checked out a cool detour called "The Living Room" which had neat stone furniture and a beautiful view. Anyway, that's just a little bit of my life. Conquering mountains, seeing the world. Living.
