My heroes are the Singapore Women’s Everest Team. In 2009, they became the first all-women team to climb Mount Everest. The team of six young women trained for seven years before they climbed the mountain. It was difficult for them to train because Singapore doesn’t have any snow or any mountains. But they didn’t stop, and in the end they made it. I really admire them.
