	I think it is fair to say that we are ready for spring sunshine here at Au Sable. The few sunny days we have experienced have only created a longing within in me for more vitamin D. I am ready to put on the shorts and chacos.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	This is my 4th year in a row visiting, studying, or interning at Au Sable. I think this place is important to me because it is where I have most noticed that I am actually growing up and getting older. As each year passes this place has given me time to look back on where I have come from and where I am now. It is also where I am constantly reminded to take on a &ldquo;sense of wonder&rdquo; and thoroughly enjoy the world that surrounds me.</p>
