Spotlight of a Red Devil Cheering from 19K Feet
Saanvi Sita Mylavarapu is a freshman on our campus. She recently hiked Khumbu region, ascended over 11,500ft to reach Everest Base Camp (EBC) - 18,485ft , Kala Patthar (18,550ft) and few other mountains for the best and close views of Mt. Everest and several other peaks ( ~28k ft and above ).
She hiked over 100+ kilometers, over a span of 12 days, averaging 7 hours of strenuous hike per day, acclimatizing and hiking in treacherous terrain, unfavorable weather conditions, struggling with Altitude sickness and overcoming several challenges.
Saanvi had 1001 reasons to give up and get airlifted, but her brute determination and sheer focus helped her reach her coveted goal. Her next dream is to trekking to the summit of Mt. Everest before she graduates high school.
Saanvi has a message to the fellow RED DEVILS, click the picture to link to her video message. Hopefully her message will inspire several RED DEVILS to dream and achieve bigger goals.
