As our trip came to a closure, we spent our final days enjoying Beijing’s attractions. On August 1, 2014, I, Xayla Wilson climbed the Great Wall. Granted, I didn’t make it to the top but I went pretty far. There were two paths that we could take the right/easy path or the left path which had steep mountainous steps, otherwise known as the hard path. I regretfully took the hard path. After just a few minutes I was tried and I began to feel sick from the height. Nonetheless, I kept moving up and pushing myself. During a quick break I noticed the time and the fact that others from my group were heading down, my time on the Great Wall had come on an end. 
Despite, feeling sick I managed to take a few photos and videos and enjoy the air and view. Before I knew it, I was back at the bottom of stairs. While I waited for others, I took my time shopping for countless t-shirts saying “I climbed the Great Wall”.
