September

 by Marianne Lubenskyi

 

What does September make us think about? What does this special month make us feel? I feel strongly that September is The Begining. The withering leaves fill most hearts with sorrow, for the wonderful season experienced is now only a memory to tuck away in photo albums. . Yes, the lush green leaves are gone but in their place stands gorgeous scarlet and crimson leaves - something to be happy about. The month of September holds a certain element of grace and beauty which I can only try to explain. Maybe it is the fresh, crisp air and the golden leaves that change my mind after the long, hot summer. I'm in what I like to call my "autumn mood". People who act as if the world is coming to an end at the first sights and sounds of Fall should realize that they have a life-time of Septembers ahead and they should try to enjoy it while they can. You never realize how much you miss something until it is gone...

 

The Majority of people I know declare that January the first is the begining of a New Year and a new situation. They even make "New Year Resolutions". Are they forgetting "September Resolutions"? Do you know anyone who makes September Resolutions? For me, September is like the begining of a New Year. It is something like starting the year off with a clean slate. It is the time to reflect on the previous school year and think about things that went wrong and how we can make them right.

 

In September, our lives change and improve. Maybe it's because each year we become a bit wiser. We learn from our mistakes. No matter how good life may seem, things can always be made better. The month of September is just the time to make such good things happen.
