Steve on stage he received the Kaiser ThriveAward |
So last Friday I went to see Wampler's Ascent. Its about Steve Wampler's climb of El Captain in Yosemite CA.
|
Nice to see you again Mr. Wampler. |
Wampler is not your average mountain climber he has CP and uses a wheelchair to get around. In order to climb the mountain he was sitting in a chair and had to do pull ups. He was pulling to raise money for a
summer camp that he help restart after it got closed down. He had attend that camp as a kid and it was the turning point in his life where he realized that he can do anything. He went on to UC Berkley. It was very exciting to watch. My mom and I went to see the movie My mom usually fall asleep during movies and i thought that she would have fallen asleep during this one as well, she did not sleep well Thursday night but she did not; however, she did not That how exciting it was.

My Mom said, " Aw what a beautiful family" as she took this photo |
But that is not the best part The best part was that I got to meet Wampler's children. That's right Wampler is father to two beautiful kids and along with his wife Elizabeth they have a beautiful family.

Meeting Wampler's son , Joe He was ten when his dad climbed El Captain |
Wampler gives me hope for a future. I want to be a mother and wife to a caring husband. I want to have my own family and Wampler gives me hope it can happend. I can become a mother and have a typical American Family.

After the movie we were going home but then I spotted Johnny Rockets and I had to have a Strawberry milkshake before we went home. As we were driving home, my mom said that I have no excuse because anything that I do that is challenging is not EL Captain,

Great Milkshake to end a great night |
