Reaching the Top

On May 16th, Samantha Larson achieved her goal: she reached the top of Mount Everest. Larson is 18-years-old, the youngest foreigner to reach the top. Samantha made the climb with her father. It was the last of the so-called "seven summits" — the tallest peaks on each of the seven continents — all of which they have climbed.


In this time of constant bad news, how wonderful to read of this accomplishment (by a blogger no less). Check out Samantha's blog and first-hand account here. This serves as a good reminder for all of us to never stop reaching for the top.
