Like most people my age, I get excited for the holidays and winter break. Sadly, I can’t enjoy the season much due to cedar trees ( Ash Juniper trees, to be specific) spewing their horrible pollen into the air. The pollen makes my eyes swell and itch, my nose congested, and my throat sore. At school, I can barely concentrate during class because of the excruciating pain in my eyes. I take medicine to try and prevent this, but they only help a little and for a short time.
When I get old enough to move out of my parents house I plan to move out of Texas to a neighboring state. Texas is pretty much the only state with ash juniper trees in it, so I won’t be affected by my allergies every winter in other states!
