For three months, she had trained every weekend, hiking up steep, rocky trails to prepare for the trail maintenance expedition. When her guide gave the signal, Clara took a deep breath, adjusted her hiking poles, and led the team up the ridge without hesitation." What is the central theme suggested by Clara's preparation and actions in this passage?
