Why Is Spring Break Important

Decent Essays
The importance of spring break is being able to have some time off from all the stress that you have at school. What I like about spring break, however is the time I have to really catch up on my sleep and see people I don’t really get to see at school. Sleep is something I hardly have nowadays with all my homework assignments piling up. For example, I was able to go to sleep as early as nine o’clock, and wake up feeling energized. Consequently, having so much more time on my hands, I felt completely rested for any activity, not like usual. It affected me in so many ways! It helped me with my acne, slightly reduced my eye bags, and helped me conquer the day to day activities without yawning constantly. As a result, I believe that with this

This generation is unique to those before it, because of the forces of globalization and technology academic competition is increasing at rates never before seen.…

Grandview Ave Dubuque, Iowa 52003 9/22/15 Stan Rheingans 2300 Chaney Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear Mr. Stan Rheingans: Summer break is great in all, but year-round school will allow students to still get a break every once and a while and they won’t forget as much as they would have over the summer.

    No one wants to give up their summer break for anything, especially school. Children enjoy their summer, it is the time they can do whatever with no interruption, like run outside all day, swim, or hang out with friends. Many teenagers have summer responsibilities, bailing hay, for example, is an all-day activity and is easier to start in the morning so it is not too hot and teenagers cannot bail hay for their parents or some old man who needs help if they have to be at school. With no teenagers making hay, for old men who need help, who is going to do it? Summer is also a time for families to visit other family members out of state or go on family vacations together, they cannot go on vacation with school taking up that time.…
