Summer is perhaps the most long awaited season, who doesn’t love long summer days, short warm nights? It is a time filled with adventure, friends, and family. Summer is also filled with many activities such as: hikes, camping, barbeques, beach days, the enjoyment never seems to end. Summer just seems to contain so much beauty; radiant skies, the sunsets always leaving you in awe, lighting bugs that illuminate the summer nights, the tranquility that is felt all season long, nothing can ever…

Should we have year-round school? Year-round school should be implemented in our school district. Three main reasons why I think there should be year round school is that, for one, it would help prevent long breaks that could potentially weaken students academically, and after the break, it would take a while to review. Secondly, the 9 month calendar we currently use was originally made based around when kids would go home and work on farms, but now, this isn’t a common practice. Lastly,…

Summer is one of, if not the best season out there. To some, that is only because of the vacation that accompanies it. But that vacation flies by way too fast and is over before you know it. Too many children don’t get to do anything during Summer because they don’t have enough time. In my opinion, summer should be longer than it already is. I think a lot of children would agree with me. Here are a few reasons why I believe it should be longer. First off, Summer flies by way too fast. 99% of…

First off school starts way to early and ends pretty late in the afternoon. Some kids even wake up before the sun rises just to get up and go to school. Getting up this early makes kids unmotivated and tired. Also some kids have to walk to school summer and winter in freezing cold and hot also, most morning in winter are really dark when we turn back the clocks. Next some kids are on the bus for a hour and when they get home all they will get to do is go home eat, do your homework, shower and…

Summer break is a time were many students look forward to, with its free time to experience many sort of activities with no time limit. Individuals feel relaxed because they are rewarded for their hard work for studying through the years. In a certain extend summer vacation is beneficial to students. Although too much of anything is not good. Long summer vacations will give individuals a loss in academic skills and knowledge over the course of the holiday. With summer vacations ranging to six to…

Wyatt King Mrs. Misselhorn 6th Hour Language Arts 29 March 2017 Should Kids Have a Summer Break? For centuries kids have had most of the summer off. That time in between school some call heaven. For people that don’t know what heaven is its twelve weeks of break from school. During that time, kids can have fun, make memories with their families, and relax from loads of homework. Without that break between kids won’t be themselves. They won’t have time to make memories with their families,…

This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…

every game she would always have a good hearty meal. The best meal she would cook was Chicken and dumplings. Sadly, even with my grandma having her own cook book I still do not know the recipe. Nonetheless, I went on to play baseball for four summers and one summer end up winning the league championship. Reminiscing about when I played baseball, my favorite snack at the time was a walking taco. A walking taco is Doritos topped with season ground beef, Nacho cheese and you can add sour cream,…

emotional tone of the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy from embarrassment to comfort in chapter 5. As a very crucial point in the novel, the setting of Gatsby and Daisy’s first meeting after five years of separation starts with a rainy day in early summer. Nick depicts the weather of that day as “the day agreed upon was pouring rain” (Fitzgerald 83). The rain and the coldness reflect Gatsby’s nervousness and anxiety about meeting…

hated a summer camp and also told him that at camp we just studied and studied which means it wasn’t fun. He held my hand and said, “I know it’s not fun, but if you keep learning, you can be smart enough to pass the test, and also meet new friends”. His thought like Carol S. Dweck mentions, “Growth mindset believe that intelligence is a potential that can be realized through learning” (1). However, I had no choice, and I had to study more, or I would stay on the same grade. During summer camp, I…
