First Day of Spring

First Day of Spring

By Sabrina Arauz

         We've had fierce snow between this 2013- 2014 winter. Everyone from Fairfax County Public Schools can agree that we've missed many days of school with plenty of delays. Sure, it's nice to have a day off from school due to the snow, but many people have grown tired of snow every other week plowing us down. Not only is it tiring, but it's also very dangerous to those out on the streets or people who have to walk.

Today is March 20, 2014, in other words, the very first day of spring! This doesn’t exactly mean that the cold weather will disappear instantly, but the weather will definitely start to get warmer. The flowers on the trees will begin to grow to white and then a beautiful pink color. The grass will begin to look greener and the sky will be cleared of so many clouds and bluer.

Everyone is also looking forward to the wardrobe change. No more jackets and huge sweaters! People can finally wake up and not have to think about how many sweaters or jackets they need to wear. Walking through your neighborhood will be easier while trying to catching the bus or just simply going outside to take a walk. Anyone doing sports during this time will no longer have to deal with cancelled meets, practices, or competitions.

So even though we will still be experiencing some cold weather for the next month or so, spring will give us a pleasant and warm welcome. The snow has stayed with us for quite a while, but nature will eventually do its job and change to the new season of spring!
