Jordan Romero Case Study

1. Jordan Romero decided one day he wanted to climb all of The Seven Summits. He saw a painting on his schools wall that really inspired him. The painting showed all seven of the highest summits in the world. He was so fascinated by the mountains that he, after school, went home and told his dad about his new dream. His dad was about to laugh it off because just a nine year old wanting to accomplish such a difficult task was unbelievable, until he saw that Jordan was being serious. His dad supported him throughout ever step of the way and throughout every decision Jordan had made. His mom and his step mom were also very supportive to him and always wanted him to do well.
2. Throughout every mountain he climbed, Jordan slowly became more open to new experience. He was gradually turning into a man, his mother noticed and it was an exciting time for him and his family. His dad could see that Jordan was taking the climbing and the prepping very thoughtfully to heart. He grew into realizing, by the time he had climbed his third summit, that he really could do this. He started believing in himself more and more as his journey went on.

I think that if your child wants to dream big like Jordan had, why not support them. I think Jordan’s dad did have a good point in saying to the media that “irresponsible” parents feed their kids not so healthy foods compared to allowing Jordan, in particular, to achieve something that big at such a young age.

I, myself, can stop going to eat at fast food places whenever I want and my mom supports me if I would like to eat
