My 2017 Summer
Before school ended in my sophomore year, I was figuring out what I wanted to do for the summer vacation. My family didn’t have any big plans on what to do and usually we don’t go anywhere until August. My father, who is a janitor, is required to work over the summers in keeping the school clean. Normally in the summer I hang out with my friend who I don’t see often and we usually rode bikes around his neighborhood. When summer comes, I get so excited because school is over, but then I sometimes feel that I waste some days because I don’t do anything. Summer is when I spend a lot of time in my bedroom which I shouldn’t be doing. I would just sit in my room and watch videos on my tablet. I knew that I had to decide what I was

He called his book, “The Joy of Science.” The first section I started with was about the fundamentals of physics. Next, after I ate lunch, I read chemistry for an hour. The chemistry pdf was the hardest one to understand mostly because it was all new material that I haven’t learned yet. Also there were many subtopics that were very new with formulas and vocabulary. I did learn a lot from that pdf and the first chemistry one I read was the shorter one out of the two. It only had about four hundred pages in it. I only got to read the first chemistry pdf over the summer, but I was able to read that one three times. I still managed to read the history book for an hour. The type of history pdf I read was on American History. I started reading this one because my next year history class would be on American History. Reading for four hours took a lot of my time during the day, but I was fine with that. I began reading the english pdf the next day. The english pdf covered the important topics on how to write professional essays. It was broken down into many sections like, organization, clarity, word choice, and mechanics. The benefit from reading that pdf I wanted to take from this was to improve my writing skills. Overall, before summer break ended, I read most all the pdfs at least twice. I felt that I was ready for school to

    As the school year quickly approaching an end, I want to make summer count by staying involved in academic enrichment programs. I have always looked forward to the summer break to be out of school with no studying and no homework, but this year, as I enter into high school, I feel there is so much I can learn during my two month break. At the OSU summer academy, I can sharpen my mind, learn new information and prepare for next year classes. This academy is an opportunity for me to boost my knowledge in technology, math, science and most interestingly, I hope sharpen my ability to read and predict human emotion to prepare myself for a debate class that I will take next year. I want to learn and explore logic and gain the ability to reason.…

It was mostly because I was already involved with theatre.…
