Today is the first day of Autumn. Autumn, also called "Fall" in North American English, is the season of rain, falling of leaves and more rain. It's dull, grey, gloomy, sad, dreary, drab. (These words I basically searched up in the dictionary.) But you get the point. It isn't exactly a cheerfull season. And for most people autumn also marks the beginning of a new season. Be it school;work;sport; in September everyone starts with something somehow. We've got the happy and warm summer behind us, where we all played,chilled and relaxed, and now it's time to start up again. Although the weather isn't exactly encouraging to say the least.
So why is it called "Fall" in Nothern American English? The fall of leaves? Or is it because of:"Fall, the sudden arrival of birds due to drift migration" (wikipedia). That wouldn't make sense though, since the birds would fly to the south, for a warmer climate, so birds are actually departing from North America rather than arriving.So why is it called "Fall" then? I don't know. But it sure fits to the depressive weather of Autumn. To fall...
So for everyone, Fall starts today, but I don't hope we all starts to fall from now on. It's a new season, a new begin and a new start, so let's all work hard for school, work, sport, music, hobby or whatever you want to do. Don't let the weather graps you. Everything has it's beauty. When all the yellow brown and old leaves falls from the trees, it only means that the old is making a place for the new. And so it is for the things we do, the hard-work we do today, is also a stepping stone for the succes of tomorrow.
