It was a bright morning, and we all residents had a plan of going to Mount Longonot with the school bus, well our bus was working on Kenyan time. We started our trip at 7:00 am in the morning and stopped at the beautiful views of rift valley, which were really amazing. We again started our trip towards Mt. Longonot, but after reaching there we had to wait for hours to get cleared to hike. At first when we looked at the mountain which was waiting there looked so huge and the way was really looking hard, but we had to conquer it, so I started my walk with the mind of being the first one in our crew to reach the top, but there was another warrior who joined me and continued walking with me till the end – but still I was the first. We made it till the top in no time, but when we reached there we were so shocked that there was a long way waiting for us, we had to take the whole round walk of 7.2 Km’s, so we started our walk again but this walk was much more easy then the other 3.2 Km’s because it was kind of plane. We continued and crossed many people in the way we found and there was no one in the whole way that could stand next to us. We completed the round and saw some people waiting for us to welcome us because they never bothered taking a round. After a long wait when people completed we had to start again going down, but this one was much easier and fast, I took like 10 minutes to reach down and almost broke the world record – but still there was a 20 minutes difference. All this was possible because “When going gets tough – tough gets going”!!
