Welcoming the First Day of Spring

The day many of us have been waiting for has finally arrived-- the first day of spring! The first day of spring brings the thoughts of Easter, Spring Break, warm weather, and the anticipation of summer vacation. 
          
As spring break inches closer, students are overwhelmed with homework and tests as the teachers do their best to try and not to give us homework over the long break.  Talk of vacations to Hawaii or Florida can be heard all throughout the school.  Everyone wants to escape from this cooler and rainy weather to warm, sunny weather. 
           
However, as the days go by the weather gets nicer.  Looking around you begin to see people in shorts and flip-flops, a sight that clearly displays the weather warming up.  After a long and snowy winter people of all ages are ready for the sun to shine bright and warm the earth.
           
With spring comes Easter.  Children of many ages become filled with excitement as Easter approaches, wondering what the Easter Bunny will bring them this year. Christians become filled with joy as they are reminded of the wonderful act of God-- sending his one and only son to die on the cross only to be risen again for all people. 
           
The anticipation of summer comes along with spring as well.  We are one season closer to being out of school and the seniors are closer to graduating.  People are excited for vacations, hanging with friends and for students, no homework.
          
The first day of spring brings many thoughts to our minds and keeps us all anticipating what is to come for next few months ahead.  Whether it is vacations, having long breaks off of school or celebrating Easter, people are all welcoming the season of spring.
