Everest

(Source: Everest)

At 5am (Nepal's time) three dominicans stepped on the highest place on earth, Mount Everest, making every single dominican proud of their work. Being where others have never thought of being. Accidentally I ran into a quote that shows what they did. It says: Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiam.- Ralph Waldo Emerson. I agree with him, because the enthusiam leads us to work hard, to be passionate, to be happy of what we do. 

What these dominicans did shows that it doesnt matter where you from, or your background, in the end you are being recognized for what you did, whether is good or bad. We choose how to be remembered. They are the firsts dominicans ever to do that and sharing with them the same nationality makes me proud. There's no barrier that separate us from our dreams, except ourselves. So who knows maybe someday I'm the first dominican ever to do something amazing as well.


A las 5am (hora de Nepal), tres dominicanos pisaron el lugar mas alto del mundo, El Monte Everest, haciendo orgullosos a todos los dominicanos por su trabajo. Estando donde otros nunca se han imaginado. Por accidente me encontré con una frase que de alguna manera resume lo que hicieron. Dice: Nada grandioso se ha logrado sin entusiasmo.- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Estoy de acuerdo con el, porque el entusiasmo nos guía a trabajar duro, a ser apasionados, ser felices con lo que hacemos.

Lo que estos dominicanos hicieron, demuestra que no importa de donde seas, o cual ha sido tu pasado, al final seras reconocido por lo que hiciste, así sea bueno o malo. Nosotros elegimos como queremos ser recordados. Son los primeros dominicanos en hacer eso y compartir con ellos la misma nacionalidad me enorgullece. No existe ninguna barrera que nos separe de nuestros suenos, excepto nosotros mismos. Así que quien sabe tal vez soy la primera dominicana en hacer algo sorprendente también.
