3. Personal Exercise
Frequent and consistent exercise has been a challenge for me since college, so I have reintroduced this
routine through yoga classes and running during the past year.
4. Personal Apartment
At this stage in my life, owning property is not something I feel prepared to do, so I have been enjoying the
flexibility of apartment-living. With that is the fun of switching up my living space every year or couple of
years to explore a new area.

Mental Loyalty
From the get-go, my mental loyalty to hiking Mount Kilimanjaro has been very high
given my dads request for our family to do this for his 60th birthday. Furthermore,
once you purchase a plane ticket, there isnt a whole lot that you can do to back out
of the commitment (that unquestionably increased my mental commitment to this
excursion). I think the portion of this project that will require the most focus for me
to maintain loyalty is physical training and preparation. I would be lying if I said I
wasnt nervous about how strenuous it will be to climb to the summit of this
dormant volcano. In order to limit the energy and focus I waste on worrying about
my preparedness, I have created a complete schedule for my exercising plans. For
each week, I have broken out the days I have time to work out, noted the type of
exercise I will be doing, and planned official start and stop times. On the weekends, I
have blocked the days needed to do longer endurance training. If I can fold this into
my weekly routine and maintain it for the next 6 months, I think I will feel confident
leading up to our departure date.
Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.
