Spring is in the air

Finally Spring is here! Today we reached 70 F! (About 20 C). It always amazes me how fast the grass changes from pale brown to green. In two days my lawn has become a little green. Also, today I went to my backyard with Daniel, Sarah, Hannah and Christian to play outdoors for the first time in more than 4 months.

However, the weather here in Illinois is not stable and next week we will plunge again below freezing and probably for a few nights we will experience deep freezes. Winter is still here.

Yesterday I went to speak at a career day in a local high school. It was a fun event and I got to interact with the students that are thinking about going to college or joining the work force. I tried to give them a different perspective based on my experiences around the world. I hope it helps someone.
