Answer of your question.
Reach for the Top divides into two parts where each part tells us about Santosh Yadav and Maria Sharapova respectively. The first part begins with Santosh. This story was written when Santosh was the only woman in the whole world to have scaled the Mt. Everest twice. It begins by telling that she was born in a society that considered girls to be a curse. We learn that Haryana is her birthplace and she defies the societal norms to own herself.
She suffered gender discrimination from an early age and then decided she would carve her own way. She went to get admission in Delhi and funded her education all by herself by working part-time jobs. After that, she went to stay in a hostel in Jaipur where life changed for her. She joined mountaineers in an expedition and there was no looking back then. She worked hard for it and took a professional course where she excelled.
Then, in 1992, she climbed Mount Everest just at the age of 20. She became the youngest woman to do so and even saved a fellow climber by sharing her oxygen. She made India proud by creating history and was awarded the Padmashri award by the government of India. After that, we have part II, which focuses on the famous tennis player, Maria Sharapova. We learn about her journey to become the number one women’s tennis. She became a top tennis player through hard labor, rigorous training and a lot of sacrifices.
The inside story of her life shows us that she started at an early age to become the top tennis player. She belongs to Siberia, Russia, and left her home only at the age of 9, to begin training for her dream. She had to separate from her mother at just 9 years old and move to Florida with her father. Her father worked hard to fund her training and even suffered bullying for being a foreigner. We learn about her hobbies of dancing, singing, and fashion. Finally, we learn that she believes while money does play a big part, she always aimed to become number one.
