One of the most daunting realizations I've ever come to have is that I can do anything I set my mind to. I can travel the world even when I have no money in my savings account. I can now run 5K everyday when I could barely run for 5 minutes. I can live in another country and make close friends even when I don't speak the language. Anyone can do anything they set their mind to except, make someone love them---- that being said, I've decided I'm going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this September.
Why Kilimanjaro and not Everest? Simple, I once read a short story written by my fellow Ernest Hemingway titled, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and he's also the one that said, "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."

So, in an attempt at being superior to my former self I've determined to conquer this mountain.
