            I grew up in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania with my mother and elder sister. While we weren't rich,my mother managed to provide us with more than we needed and quite a bit of what we wanted. We had ups and downs,but mostly ups. One of my mother's favorite things to say was, “Well,try it and see." As a carefUl little girl,her words didn't do much to make me a real explorer of anything other than good books. However,my mother's  words encouraging me to try harder,to climb and to reach new heights finally worked one day.

           In December,2015,I had the extreme pleasure of visiting the South Pole,Antarctica to be exact. I once thought it would be the last place on the earth that I'd  ever visit. First of all,I didn't vacation in a cold place. Second,if I did,it would be more like a lodge(乡间小屋) on a mountain with a hot bathtub and a warm fire. But I went there.

          It was a ten-day cruise that .produced more highs than I could have ever imagined. It was the longest time I'd ever been away from my children. I missed them so much that I had a few mild meltdowns(崩溃) ,but I recovered quickly after seeing a family of four crabeater seals swim right up below my deck. Somehow that moment of missing my children was soothed(抚慰) by God's wonderful works.

          When I reached the highest point of Cuverville Island, after a scary and long trip up,I felt I had done something very meaningful. It was a journey for moms,for new entrepreneurs(企业家) and for the little girls who would dream bigger and do better because we showed them they could.
