To be honest we weren't looking forward to hiking up Mt. Roberts. This being because of the cold rainy weather, and also the fact that mountains are definitely not easy to climb up. It takes a lot of strength to be able to get to the top, and I have non of that whats so ever.
Although Samantha and I started our journey up the mountain being negative, we did change our minds after the first twenty minutes of the hike. We began to enjoy the walk and the views of the mountain. The rest of the hike after that was extremely fun, and worth the while to get to the top.
The view from the mountain looking down was extraordinary, we got so high up it was overwhelming. The hike was beautiful with all the different kinds of plants and trees. The trees as we got higher up had fallen and were laying all over. They towered over us as we looked up, it was amazing.
While hiking a long the trail I thought to myself how fortunate I was to be there and see the life going on around me as I moved up higher. It gave me a new perspective about the life I had below. And in relevance hiking up the mountain was the high road that I need to direct my life on. It may have took a lot of work to go up, and reach the top, but I did it, I didn't quit I kept pushing myself forward. If my goals in life could be viewed like that, then I would have the right mind to keep going and not walk back down. Things may be hard, and some roads may be steep, but to persevere and find the inner strength to reach the top is the key to success. -Kierstyn Cadiente
