Pasang said, “I learned so many things from my mother. She was single. She raised two kids by herself. She never went to school. From her, I saw how a woman can be strong.

Everybody should have their dreams. Now, I’m a mother, but I’m still having my dreams. Everybody has a right to realize their dreams. Most importantly, I want to inspire my son to follow his dreams.” 1、Why did Pasang decide to start another climb in 2019? A. To be an encouragement to her son. B. To make a living by climbing. C. To share experien
