First Snow for Pedro and Leonardo

                                                    by Jin Yup Jung ‘14

There are two new students at Red Cloud from Puerto Rico who have never seen snow before last Friday. While some people who have lived around here hate snow, Pedro Martinez and Leonardo Martinez were extremely excited when they saw snow for the first time. 

They wanted to make a snowman and throw snowballs together during the weekend. “How do you make a snowman?” Leonardo asked during 7th period in Susan Daniels' class. He made students in the class laugh, but Leonardo seemed like he was really super serious. I had an interview with the two brothers and asked them about their experiences with the snow.

Q. What was your feeling when you saw and touched snow first time?

Pedro: Very excited and wonderful like your dream came true!

Q. Did you have a plan to make a snowman or play some other games by throwing snow?

Pedro: Yes I did. It was really fun.

Q. Do you want to bring some snow back to Puerto Rico and show your friends?

Leonardo: Sure, if it doesn’t melt.  

Q. Do you like snow? Or do you hate it?

Leonardo: I love snow because it brought me a no school day!
