       The view from the top of the mountain is wide. When we reach this point, everyone is fully bathed in the sun, instantly dispelling the cold winter air. Coupled with the heat brought by the continuous walking, we feel warmer at this moment. I walked through the mountains and was fascinated by the scenery. I was lucky to have all the alumni who walked with me and never gave up.
