A modest hero
In 2004, Janek Mela became the youngest person in history to ski unassisted to the North Pole. Six months later, Janek travelled to Antarctica with a new goal - to walk to the South Pole. An unbelievable challenge for any teenager. But for the people who knew Janek, his story was even more incredible.
The story really began in 2002, when Janek - who comes from Malbork in Poland - was thirteen years old. He was playing table tennis with some school friends when it suddenly started raining heavily. Most of Janek's friends ran home, but Janek and a friend decided to shelter from the storm in a small
building. The building was actually an electricity substation and Janek suffered a shock of 15,000 volts. He lost his left arm and a leg in the accident. Janek spent the next few months in hospital, His parents contacted the famous Polish explorer, Marek Kaminski, who was a family friend. They hoped that Marek could cheer Janek up and encourage him not to lose hope, But Marek came up with a much more ambitious idea wanted Janek to - he
make a trek with him to the North Pole. After he left hospital, Janek had to catch up with his schoolwork but he also began to train intensively for the expedition. Over the next year and a half, Janek had to learn to swim and ride a bike again. He also took up skiing, which he had never tried before.
In May 2004, Janek and Marek set out on the long walk to the North Pole. The weather was horrendous and often after a day's walking they were only two or three kilometres closer to the Pole than the previous day. But on 24 May Janek became the first disabled person to ski unassisted to the North Pole.
Janek's Antarctic expedition seven months later was even more challenging. Sometimes the temperature fell to minus thirty-five degrees and winds reached 100 km an hour. Janek celebrated his sixteenth birthday, 30 December 2004, in terrible conditions about thirteen kilometres from the
South Pole. His birthday present was two bars of chocolate! But Janek finally reached the South Pole the next day and at the same time he broke another world record - the youngest person, and the first disabled person, to reach both the North and South Poles in the same year. During his absence from Poland, Janek had become a hero - and not just to other disabled people.
Many young people told Janek that his story had taught them that it was important to give yourself difficult goals in life. 'Sometimes suffering can destroy a person, and sometimes it can make him or her stronger,' says Janek's mother. Despite Janek's fame and success, he is still a modest schoolboy who worries that he has fallen behind with his schoolwork. But he is certain that he will make another expedition in the future - 'Perhaps Siberia is next,' he says. And he isn't joking.
The text contain a great hisotry of young biy Janek Mela, who suffered from terrible accident, and almost fall in depression. He lost his arm and leg. But in fact, he take his destination in his own hands and use the opportiunity travel to the North Pole. A lot of people perhaps will say it's incredible, but in fact he defeat his weaknesses and make his life sense. I coudn't belive it first time, but he is excellent authority to young people and he learns also me, that we should explore the world, and find world beautiful.
