Imagine a place where people could eat chocolate and not feel guilty about it. Imagine a place where your dreams matched what some people can achieve. Imagine a place where education is free and all can have it. Imagine a place without hate. Imagine a world full of tree houses, where adults and kids can play and climb to the sky. Imagine a place in which purple hair would be cool once in a while. Imagine a place where there wasnt any littering but rather lots of green space. Imagine a place where we could travel back in time and watch history unfold in front of our eyes. Imagine a place where we can all imagine and believe in all life’s possibilities no matter where you live on the planet.

Winter is a cold classroom. Winter is wearing snow boots and all the warm battle wear to combat the cold. Winter is shoveling late at night. Winter is a season that has its’ ups and downs.
