How I Spent My Summer Vacation Essay

Before this summer, I didn’t know such things as memoirs ever existed. As a bias fiction-lover, I do admit that I was alreading judging this kind of genre by the description. However, what I realized was that how interesting a book is, all depends on the reader and the writer. If a reader is forced to read then the book won’t be as good because the reader has the mental state of unwilling to read the book. This could also happen when the reader wants to read the book but eventually loses…

My life has allowed me to be exposed to people from all over the world. I have family scattered across America and Europe. I travel to Texas yearly, and Germany every three years, and have taken many other trips as well. In addition, my parents are both college professors, so I have grown up in college towns and been exposed to all the diversity that comes with them. This exposure to many different kinds of people and lifestyles has contributed to and had a large impact on the person that I am…

long and interesting summer for me. One of the best decisions in my life was taking a gap year off after high school. I had all the time in the world to find out who I wanted to be and how I wanted to pursue my future. The lucky ways I was able to expand my knowledge was traveling and working full time. I also had time to do absolutely nothing. I am a huge believer that traveling is good for the heart and soul. Everyone should have a chance to experience different cultures and how others live.…

undoubtedly the Summer. No school, no worries, and living in Wisconsin, no snow. It’s just you, your friends, and 100 days to make that Summer the greatest time of your life. For me, I’ve got about 3 real Summers left. After that, instead of my summers being filled with adventures and fun, they’ll be full of internships, and worry. So you can see where I’m coming from when I say I try to live my life to the greatest extent possible. However, a few years ago, before I had to worry about my…

Along with material culture, there was an abundance of speech acts throughout my Thanksgiving ritual. I noticed much talk about college and older family members giving college student family members advice about their career decisions. Thus, we participate in the “career advice ritual.” These statements include, “Make sure you attend class and get to know your professors” or “I hope you are participating in extra activities outside of class” or “Make sure that you can get a job out of college…

The summer prior to my junior year in high school, I read your book Eat Pray Love. I honestly went into it thinking about the easiest and most interesting book I could find to read for my AP Language and Composition class summer homework. After doing some research online I found your book and I fell in love with the idea of traveling and finding yourself My wanderlust forced me to order your book and wait the three days it took Barnes and Noble to ship it in. In case not everyone knows, being a…

My Trip to California It was an early June morning and I was packing for a trip that we were leaving for in five hours. I was very excited because I was going to California for the first time. The reason I was going to California was because I really wanted to go there, and my sister wanted me to visit her. My mom’s birthday was also during this week, and she wanted to see my sister so we decided to go visit her. This paper is going to be over my trip to Los Angeles, California over the…

of car horns in the background, are forever engrained in my head, for they mark the start of an always memorable experience. For as long as I can remember, I have had the privelege of spending my summers in New Silver Beach (North Falmouth, MA). New Silver Beach is a sentimental place to me, whose legacy began with my grandparents purchasing a small cottage when my father was just a boy. My father reveres the community so highly that he and my mother work very hard to allow me the opportunity to…

Since age fourteen, I spent the majority of my summer vacations working as an ophthalmic technician in my father’s practice. To this day he claims he asked me to work with him because the office was short-staffed, but I suspect he knew I would fall in love with ophthalmology just as he did. On my first day seeing post-operative patients, a woman was so moved by her improved vision that she began to cry. She grasped my father’s hand while she thanked us all. I felt honored to witness such a…

What is summer? The majority of kids, if asked, will tell you that summer signifies the end of school, the start of fun and freedom. You will find some kids at the pool, the mall, or sleeping in. Many stay home and play video games, while others go to the beach. Instead of spending my time at the pool or with friends, I hung-out with furry, four-legged beast and some rambunctious two-legged, little people. As you will learn, this summer, for me, has been a time of learning responsibility. Ever…
