How Did I Spent My Summer Vacation Essay

The book that I have chosen is called Jenius The Amazing guinea Pig by Dick King-Smith and illustrated by Brain Floca. This book is a chapter book with seven chapters, but even though it is a chapter book it has pictures along with it. This book is a very funny book about a little girl and her guinea pig. This little girl named Judy had two guinea pigs and one day they had one little baby. She had told her class she could train a guinea pig and she was made fun of so she thought this was the…

beginning of my 8th-grade summer vacation. Hooray! No more waking up early, and no more late nights doing homework. As the days went by, I knew I couldn’t sleep in until noon, or stay up very late, I needed to go to as many volleyball activities the school offered so I could make it on a good team. I was determined to do anything to become a 10x better athlete than I was last year because it was high school ball, not middle school ball. I went to the Summer Marathon Leagues every Monday, I…

figures. My dad had a job that spanned from the summer of 2006 up until the winter of 2013 as a priest in Centreville, Maryland. Over the years, my family had met and became great friends with the people at church. At one point, the church hall was in our house while an addition was added to the church. I could lie and say everything was fine, but between my parents always being at work, my siblings avoiding their chores, and older dogs, the house was hard to keep up all the time. When my sister…

As long as I can remember, I have always been astonished at the thought of life. What exactly is this thing called ‘life”? What was I placed on this earth to do? What all will I accomplish in my lifetime? These are just a few of the questions I ask myself quite often. I feel very lucky to have the life that I do. Not many kids get to grow up with the life that I am living. I thank God for that every day. Growing up, family has always come first to me. I know that my family would do absolutely…

kindergarten, and I was already crying. It all started with a simple assignment. “Write a sentence about yourself.” My teacher announced to the class. The room quickly filled with chatter as my classmates talked about possible ideas for their sentences. Staring at the first page of my new composition book, my mind went completely blank, realising that I had no idea what to write. At that time, I was behind on English compared to average kids because I spoke Cantonese at home. Therefore, I was…

station, I impatiently wait for my mother to finish her morning rounds at the nursing home. It is summertime, and I am eager to be dropped off at my Vacation Bible School church camp. A resident parked in her wheelchair down the hallway begins yelling, “Help me! I’m dying! Help!” over and over again. Worried, I begin frantically looking for a nurse to come help. One suddenly appears at the patient’s side, and asks what the problem was. Their response: they had a hangnail that needed clipped.…

strikes 8:00 and my family turns to me expectantly, probably with a hint of exasperation. It’s that time of day again a time they had dubbed “the 8:00 freak out”. As if on cue I burst out laughing uncontrollably, my spaced out teeth gaily showing and my unruly golden curls bouncing up and down with my gracefully spastic movements. I look into the eyes of my familial spectators and, unable to help themselves, they began to laugh as well. Why are you laughing?, I ask innocently, and my mom says…

but our completion of the race is based on all the different decisions that we make in between. Three summers ago, my Mom, sister, and I drove from Oklahoma to Florida for our summer vacation. The drive lasted roughly eighteen hours, but it felt like much longer than that. As my Mom and sister chatted about lifee and sang worship songs, I took several naps. And every time that I woke up, I would ask, “Are we there yet?” Since it was such a long drive, we chose a town to stop in for the night…

Florida During summer vacation, in the year 2011 my family and I went on a trip to Florida to meet up with some of our relatives. This was my first time ever going to Florida and I was really excited to go. But one of us had to stay home and take care of our pets, so my dad stayed home to take care of them. It took about half a day for us to get ready to go and like 4 or 5 hours until we were out of Michigan.My brothers and I would stay up all night to see how cool the city looked at night. We…

I would not say that the community that I grew up in necessarily fostered creativity. The small farming community in Illinois about thirty minutes from both the Iowa and Wisconsin boarders tended to focus solely on agriculture and sports. I try not to give where I grew up any credit for my academic success and passion for interior design, but honestly, growing up where I did gave me the strongest push to make something important of myself and my life. Growing up an only child, I was often forced…
