Crescenta Valley High School student Sebouh Oshagan will describe his climb up Mount Ararat at age thirteen. Mount Ararat is the tallest mountain in the Middle East. Located in historical Armenia in what is now Eastern Turkey, Ararat scrapes the skies at 5,165 meters tall (16,946 feet). The presentation will include photos from the climb.
In an interview Sebouh stated, "My experience was a mixture of many different emotions, very strange to say the least. Pre- climb was very exciting. I was very eager to climb the mountain, and to get back home to earn insta-bragging rights with my friends. However, during the climb, the only thought circulating through my head was, just keep going, just keep going."
Sebouh Oshagan is a 14-year-old ninth grader at Crescenta Valley High School, where he plays junior varsity soccer for the CV Falcons. He graduated from the Chamlian Armenian School in 2013. Sebouh's hobbies include writing, reading, playing guitar and trying new restaurants.
