How I Spent My Summer Vacation Essay

Finance is something I never put much thought into. Last summer I had great income, it felt great to receive a check every Friday. I did the usual, like tithe and spend the extra on my personal expenses. I never thought about the future, and if one day I would have a similar experience as Adam. For that reason our professor gave us a scenario. Our case was that we had a $29,500 yearly income. We had $10,000 in school loans and $10,000 car loans along with a $2,000 credit card debt.

I’ve been friends with my best friend, Kyla for years. Ever since I met her the first day of sixth grade I knew I’d enjoy having her around.

Growing up I had typical childhood experiences, but unlike some of you I grew up in a broken home. Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person. It was not because of the broken home, tons of other people grew up that way, it was the completely opposite lifestyles I observed in both homes that changed me. It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man does not have to be your father to be a dad. I was…

grade soccer is my earliest memory of embarrassment. My remembrance coming from the conversation with one of my teammates asking which grade I was in. The simple response of “third grade” had resulted in a patter of laughter. My mispronunciation of the word “third” turned the grade into a matter of feces.

Indiana has suggested implementing a merit pay system based on test scores. Not only would teachers pay be based on these test scores, but so would retention. None of the…

I will never be able to forget the smell of rubble and debris. Yes, even waste fragments and broken bricks have a distinct smell that still makes my nose itch. As I looked at the damage around me, I began to wonder how such a beautiful day turned into a horrific nightmare. My day started at 9 o’clock in the morning. I woke up to the sound of cars honking and people yelling in the crowded and busy streets below my apartment in Surat, India. Reluctantly, I forced myself to get out of bed and go…

The bush was dented and broken from where she had fallen in and we rode away quickly so we wouldn’t get in trouble. We laughed about it all the way back to the cottage.
