At

the

age

of

9,

Jordan

Romero

dreamed

of

climbing

the

Seven

Summits.

And

he

started

at

once,

51

this dream before his 16th birthday.

In the past 100 years, there have been

52

than 200 climbers who have

53

stood on all seven

peaks. It is an extremely

54

and dangerous challenge. With his

55

for adventure and the support of

his parents, Jordan and his family began training hard. The skills needed to climb a mountain

56

a lot of

hard

work

and

endless

training.

For

most

9-year-olds,just

finishing

an

hour

of

homework

is

near

57

.

But

Jordan had a dream.

Before his tenth birthday, Jordan and his family summited Mt Kilimanjaro -his

58

peak. At eleven he

knocked down four

59

summits, two of them being some of the most technical and dangerous in the world.

And at the age of 13, Jordan summited the world?s highest mountain, Qomolangma! He summited Vinson Massif,

the

peak

of

Antarctica,

in

December

2011,

being

the

youngest

60

in

the

world

to

complete

the

Seven

Summits.

Jordan says he climbs to show kids his age that

61

is possible, and to encourage youth to get active. In

his own words, “I am hoping to change things by doing what

I do. I hope to do motivational speaking and encourage

kids to set

62

in life.”

The thresholds

（界限）

we create of what we as humans can do, are little more than lines in sand, which can

easily

be

63

through

determination

of

will.

The

only

64

preventing

us

from

climbing

our

own

personal mountains or crossing our limitless seas are entirely self- created and self-restricting.

If a little boy can dream of Qomolangma, and then stand on the top of the world screaming “I DID IT”, why

can?t you make

your dream big and

65

it?
