                           memorable as  the

                           several weeks of train-
                           ing,  my anticipation and
                           anxiety grew.

                           excited  to  be  afraid.

                           there was no stopping
                           me.  I gradually felt my
                           way  to  the  top,  to  a
                           sense  of  an  unbeliev-

                           that the  view from  the
                           top  was  beautiful,  but
                           the  feeling  inside  me
                           was unforgettable.
