The Blizzard by Betty Ren Wright is about a snowstorm and the unexpected surprises it can bring. Billy, a young boy is disappointed when he finds out his 5 cousins will not be able to make it to visit for his birthday because of a blizzard. His mom tells him they are very sorry they can’t make it and rushes Billy off to school. The snow is so heavy that the school is cancelled and the teacher brings all the students to the closest house to the school, Billy’s house. The blizzard ends up turning Billy’s birthday into a wonderful experience because all the students and his teacher spend the night at his house! Many times in life things do not go as planned but just because they don't go as planned doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Sometimes the unplanned things turn out even better than the things we had planned in the first place. Billy was upset when he heard that his cousins were not going to make it to his birthday but his birthday ended up being more fun then he had ever imagined! I am the type of person that likes to have a plan and stick to it. Many times when things go unexpetedly I get upset, like Billy did. I need to learn to lighten up and if things don't go as planned to just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
