 As
you all know, Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It
is 8,850 meters above sea level! Until now, numerous people have tried
to conquer the mountain. Some
have succeeded and many have failed.
On May 22, a 13-year-old boy from California made history by climbing to the top of the world’s highest
mountain! The amazing boy’s name is Jordan Romero. He became the world’s
youngest person to conquer Mt. Everest!
The previous record holder was a 15-year-old
girl from Nepal. Now Jordan is ready to conquer the other highest
peaks in other continents.
 So,
why did the young boy climb the world’s high mountain? “I wanted
to do something big for myself. I also wanted to climb Everest to
inspire more young people
to get outdoors. Child obesity is a serious problem in America,”
he said.
“I am hoping to make a difference by doing
what I do - climbing and motivational speaking.” We
hope to see you bring about changes, Jordan!
But be careful when climbing the mountains! |
