People of the climbing and hiking community insisted that I join the mountaineers in the basic climbing course. My friend Mark got me assosiated with this group called the Live Laugh Love group which helps young people into getting out doors, which I won the scholarship which was 500$! Half goes towards classes, and the other half can go towards gear. I signed up with the mountaineers and even became friends with the bsic climbing course register person. It was all looking fine and dandy, it looked like I was set for climbing. Unfortunatly as it is a lot of times with me, nothing is as it seems. One night during 2010 of January I come home to find out the news of what happend with me and the mountaineers. One member told one of the admins of some of the adventures I did back in 2009 and convinced them into booting me out of the course! This was another product of the Cold War between climbers and such, I knew at this point it would not go down so well. It was almost like I had it all but I suppose sometimes it's true what the Sith legend goes "All who had power, lost it", I guess I can't win always, but sometimesĀ I get the feeling like I am never supposed to win, like loosing was something I was born with. But then again thats just a feeling, I don't really believe that. To me for days I just kept thinking about it over and over, and it hinged on one of the trips I did that could have prevented many of the struggles I faced last year, and to this day it drives me crazy how if I just pretended to feel well on one of my adventures I could have had all of this. I once again was wondering if my climbing was over, fortunatly another turning point came about... it's great to have good friends and partners. My friends and some other people stepped in and were willing to help me obtain some of my climbing goals. So far it's working out.
