Everest Video Clip with Araceli Segarra
You can access a 10 minute clip of the film, "Everest,"
by clicking the above link. This clip goes well with the Keys to Success in this chapter. This film has wonderful video of Mt. Everest and mountain
climbers talk about their motivation to climb the mountain. The film features Araceli Segarra, the first Spanish woman to climb Mt. Everest.
She states that she was able to climb the mountain one step at a time.
When she got tired, she would pause and just take 10 more steps.
It is an interesting discussion to compare mountain climbing to college
success. They are both done just one step at a time. It is
also interesting to discuss why the word “almost” is included in this key to
success. Sometimes people need to reevaluate their persistence. Some of these
mountain climbers died trying to climb the mountain. Also persistence does not
work when your goals include other people.
