Question

The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and

long, hot days. All of winter, with its dreary gray days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the

beach, laying on the sand and soaking in the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.

As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t fair. We suffered

through months of school and miserable weather for those scant ten weeks of freedom and balmy weather.

Any day that I could not spend at the beach or playing ball with my friends seemed like a punishment for

something I didn’t even do. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing to do and could only sit inside,

staring out at the rain. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with.

As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is

not as eagerly anticipated. Mostly, the days run together, bleeding into each other so that they no longer

seem like separate entities and instead feel like continuations of the same long day. It is then that we realise

the importance of rainy season. Rain today, after a blazing summer means positively beautiful—and

considerably cooler—weather tomorrow. All seasons have different experiences and each has some good

and bad to offer us.
