2 The weather seemed to turn cold in a snap. Even
though we thought we were ready, everyone was
surprised when snow fell from the sky as if someone
were pouring down sugar.

3 “Lots of snow today!” Dad said in the morning.
“You lucky kids! The radio said that there’s no school.
It’s so cold outside that it’s breaking records. I wish I
could have a snow day. I’m going to turn into a

snowman going to work today.” No school! It was
like a surprise vacation. I was all ready to go outside
and play until I opened the door. BRRR! The cold
wind bit my face, and the inside of my nose stung as
if icicles suddenly formed there. I closed the door.

4 “It’s so cold out there!” I said, shivering. “It froze
my nose!” Dad laughed and said, “I warned you.
That’s what you get when you open a cold door!”

5 All of a sudden, Dad saying that reminded me
about the other cold door—the cold door of

becoming an author and illustrator. Even though
I didn’t have any doubts about my talent anymore, I
still didn’t like that door. But for almost two years,
I had thought that being an author and illustrator
was what I wanted to be and who I was going to
become. Now, I just didn’t know. Was being an

author and illustrator just a wishful dream, or was
it something I could make happen? Was it even
something I should try to make happen?

doubts If you have doubts, you aren’t sure about something.
