Contrast Essay Part #2

                              Maine winters have it's ups and it's downs. I guess it depends if you are a "snow lover' or not. I am not. Then again, the hot climate of the Philippines  does not always work for some people's interest. But that, I can live with. Some people are truly happy when it snows, especially the school kids. While my thoughts go to "How much snow do I have to shovel in the morning?".  However, the sands of the beaches seem to find whatever crevace of your body to stick to, as well. Frozen fingers and toes, who would enjoy that? But instead covering your toes with the warm sand. I don't understand how difficult this is to choose. I was made to live in the hot tropics, but I have been in Maine most of my life, 36 out of the 40 years. Shouldn't I be used to the Maine winters by now? Some winters are better than others, as also the monsoon season that hits the Philippines.Not sure what would be better, snow or water? And isn't it the same?  I would have had to endure the flooded schools, as we still sit on our desks for classes. Maine winters, you often get breaks on "snow days". In fact they are calculated in the school calendar! But however the seasons go, there were always other issues that I had to overcome being placed in the opposite place of where I was born.
