Daffodils! (that's a funny word...)

This week I've seen so much new life around me. I see daffodils bloom, one of the first flowers of spring, and trees begin to get that green "glow", as my former English teacher, Karen Madorin, once described from their tiny buds. It's incredible to think that only a few weeks ago, the earth was desolate where now flowers are blooming. It gives me hope for my own life and the lives of others. This year has been a difficult and trying one, I've been put through more than I expected I would. But the school year is almost over. Just like the spring that came so fast, ending the winter, so will this school year in a matter of weeks. I look back now on the winter, just as I know I will look back on this school year, and think, "That wasn't so bad" I thought a Nebraska winter would be never-ending and cold, but now, in the dawn of spring, it's hard to even remember that cold. I think we all have to remember that there will always be a spring. With it will be brought hope of a new start; a new life.
