Autumn is a great season. It is a time of change in
nature, and beginning of the dormancy of life. Leaves begin to change
colors and fall off the trees, and the weather gets colder. It is a time
of a new school year, where every still wants to see each other. Spirits
are high in the fall for Thanksgiving and Christmas begin to seem only a few
weeks away. For me, the fall can sometimes be a stressful time,
especially during this year. Cross-country, marching band and homework seem to
take up all my spare moments. Though it is a fun time going to football
games, and supporting the team, it takes a lot of work to prepare our field
show for band. Autumn is in the prime time of the cross-country season.
Every week the team puts in around forty miles and has at least two
races. This is a great time, for the weather is perfect for running.
Practice is hard, but it is well worth it at the end of the season.
Another thing that autumn brings is cool weather. There is just something
about walking outside in the fall that is different from every other season.
It feels fresher even though nature is slowing going into dormancy.
There is less light outside in the fall, but that does not stop me from
having a good time. When I was a kid I used to love raking leaves and
jumping in a pile of them after I had worked so hard. Autumn is a time of
making great memories with friends and family and celebrating the changes of
nature. Two views can be taken from this
season, one of optimism of change or pessimism of nature dying and life going
into dormancy. I tend to take the first
view on this season, and look forward to the change back into winter where
everything looks so clean when covered by snow.
Autumn is an amazing season.
