It’s been tough, but at Easter I can see the end of the road

AS SPRING emerges, my mood lifts. This happens every year; we get back to school after the February midterm break and all of a sudden I notice how much brighter my room is at quarter to seven in the morning, writes Ellie Menton.

It’s not much warmer, but the sun says hello a little more often than it has done in the last few months.

It feels like a glance of the summer to come, which makes getting through the school day that little bit easier.
