I do not get inspired very often
but in America this summer as I was in Yosemite national park by the massive rock
face, el Capitan a huge wave of inspiration rushed through my body. This was a
feeling I never felt before. However the question is what has a rock face done
to inspire me? A year ago I watched a program on television about a girl
climbing El Capitan and ever since I heard that we were going to Yosemite I
felt compelled to look up at it.
When we arrived and I caught the
first glimpse of this huge rock face knew at that point that I wanted to climb
it. All I had been saying the whole way to Yosemite was “I want to go to the
base of El Capitan". On the first day we hiked along a trail going up to
the base of el capital. When we arrived at the base I looked up “WOW" I
had been looking forward to this moment for ages. Now I was even more inspired
to climb up this rock face because of its height, beauty and the challenge it
would be. I could just feel the feeling standing at the top; I imagined it
would feel like I was on top of the world. You would think that you can't get
more inspired then this but I did. At the base there was a rocky bit of El Capitan
before the face starts getting flat so as I was so inspired I climbed the first
five feet and this made me want to climb the whole way even more.
Being inspired at the time was
the most amazing feeling but maintaining that is so hard. Although it was the
most insperational moment I knew that if it was going to come true and I was
going to climb El Capitan I would have to keep hold of that passion.
Now as I am back at school and
summer is over I still can find that little bit of inspiration in me and
although I have not done anything about it yet I still want to pursue my dream
all thanks to that moment.
