Building Bridges

Now, I know I live in Alaska and all, and I'm supposed to be used to the cold weather, horrible roads, icy walk ways, blah, blah, blah...but I'm not. I refuse to do anything more than count down the days until I see the first blades of precious green grass again. I’ll be dreaming of hopping out of bed and putting on my flip-flops and shorts, and greeting those beautifully warm rays of sunshine with a smile rather than a scowl.  

Having to wake up earlier than normal so I can go out to my Jeep and warm it up – so I don’t catch hypothermia when I take my 20 minute drive to school each morning, is a real pain. Now there are some undoubtedly beautiful days when I wake up and look out my window, down onto my lake and see something that looks more like a painting rather than reality. But alas, they are few and FAR in between.

So to all my fellow students out there, my name is Traci Steele, and I hate the snow!  If you have those same feelings, I say, YES! Let’s pull out our hair dryers and get this stuff melted as soon as possible! If not, I will always settle for a nice cozy blanket beside my fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate to soothe my cold bones.  

So, until next time folks!  Take care and don't take chill out there!
Your Student Ambassador,

Traci Steele
