Essay About Summer Vacation

Improved Essays
As the school year began coming to an end, and summer vacation was drawing closer, my long awaited plans of staying home, relaxing, and spending time with my girlfriend and buddies were finally going to become a reality, everything was going perfect and according to plan. But things were looking too good to be true, and of course they were.
My girlfriend Luz came up with the idea of signing us both up for summer classes, so that we can be able and get ahead with our college studies. In the beginning I was very whatever about it, I didn’t really want to take a summer course because of the plans I had in mind but I started realizing that this is for the better, and that my girlfriend was only trying to help me because she cares about me, and wishes for me to become successful, and wants me to stay

I would accompany her to the Student Center to acquire all the necessary information and materials for the both of us to be able to take our courses, she did all the talking for me because she is familiar with how signing up works, she has taken 2 course prior to this summer session, so she basically signed me up and did everything for me, all I had to do was pay for the course.
Luz could have just not dealt with me and just wouldn’t have signed me up, but she doesn’t want me falling behind again, because of a U.S History course I took while in school. I fell behind throughout the course of the semester I would doze off and sleep through the whole lesson, and ended up failing the class, but now I’ve come to realize that I don’t want that to occur all over again because it would come out under my name that I failed a class, and especially because I don’t want to lose my money, and have to retake the course all over again eventually like how I am going to have to do with the history

    I can see where she's is coming from, but we told her we weren't going to be there. I learned from this that make sure you are clear when you tell someone something because you can be easily misunderstood. Also I learned that if you get back early from something to check in with your coach or boss and let them know you got back…

    Many have argued if Florida schools should switch to year-round school. Florida should not switch to year-round school because it will make attending after school activities difficult and would make it harder, on parents who have to work over the time that their children are off from school. Year-round school would allow students and teachers to have more stretched out breaks instead of one long summer, that may lead to summer slide. Changing to year-round school would make everything harder so Florida should stick with traditional and not switch to year-round. First of all, after school activities including sports, music and many more are a great way for students in the community to stay active and involved.…

    Year-round schooling: enhanced student learning or costly, ineffective practice? The Traditional School Calendar Can Continue to Work in the Future Robin Lockett Carter contributed numerous research reports while a graduate student at the University of Alabama.

This article argues the setbacks of changing to a year-round system and how there is no consistent data to support the benefits it claims to bring.…

    The traditional school year has been in practice for decades and in this time, has shown that it is greatly successful. To switch to year-round schooling would overall be incredibly inconvenient for each person involved. The traditional school year should remain in Niagara because in comparison to year-round schooling it is less expensive, more convenient for parents, and offers more opportunities for students. Funding for education is expensive enough as is, and possibly making the school year longer could alter these costs. To fund education all school staff must be paid, which includes teachers, secretaries, and janitors.…

    They are left on their own, without adequate guidance in an increasingly dangerous position. For wealthier families, the modified calendar still leaves time for vacation and summer camps. Camps can change their offerings to take advantage of the shortened summer, along with increasing educational as well as recreational activities or market to specific schools affiliated with their client base (Marsh). Opponents of year round education often cite no significant difference in test scores after the implementation of a longer calendar (Dessoff 40); this is very short-sighted because the small gains which are seen in younger grades can amount to exponential increases once the child reaches high school. It is a question of fixing a small problem…

    As my senior year recently came closer to an end, it became more clear that I was more unsure than ever as to what I wanted to do in life. School was not something I enjoyed and the thought of furthering my education taking random classes without knowing what I wanted to do seemed depressing. I decided I would enroll in the community college near my home in Alabama and get started on some basic classes. About a month after graduating, I was talking to my mom and she asked me what I wanted to do for a career. Still depressed and feeling anxious about the subject, I told her I really just wanted to go to cosmetology school.…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…
