Summer of Love

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved the Adirondacks. My family has a house up there, right next to our grandparents, where we spend a number of weeks every summer. For the last five years we have stayed in our house, before that up the hill in the larger one. The houses are right outside of Keene Valley, a town of less than a thousand people, nestled in the heart of the High Peaks, the region so named because it is home to all of the tallest mountains in the park. The mountains are incredibly…

to 3 years in prison. At fifteen years old, I knew going inside someone’s house was wrong, but I had no idea it was a felony. As a teenager, imagine the perfect opportunity to have a house party. During the summer of 2003, my life was all about going out, boys, drinking and fun. That same summer, before I started my sophomore year in High School at Desert Vista, my friend Jenn and I came upon this perfect opportunity to have our very own house party. We learned that one of our new friends Steph…

Austin Valle is a senior who is widely known for his kind and good-spirited attitude. For those of you who don't know Austin, you have probably seen him in some AP class. This year Austin is challenging himself by taking some difficult classes, which include AP Physics and AP Statistics. Austin says that his favorite class is AP Stats because Mr. McIntosh is a very good teacher and there are always very interesting discussions going on in class. He is taking AP Physics as well, because he thinks…

For this position, I have to train the museum ambassadors who are public high students to lead art activities to the community and museum art activities at the de Young. The topic for this summer exhibition is Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll. First, this position requires me to have experience working with the teenagers, children and high school students. I worked with children at Chinatown YMCA. At YMCA, I implemented discipline techniques and classroom management to…

I do not feel at any other school. I was able to attend this school the first two years after it was built. A great number of memories have been made here by the kids heading to school. The children are kind and greet you every day. During the summer, a lot of additions were being made to this somewhat new school by Miron Construction. They were adding a new gym and many new classrooms because the school was expanding quickly. It previously stood in a field surrounded by dirt, however, it is…

More and More schools are using year round schooling, in fact, more than 3,000 schools have switched to all year round schooling around the country. It also prevents burnout of both students and teachers, the so-called summer learning loss. Many kids get bored during the summer and there is not enough to keep kids occupied the way they did in the beginning of the year. These breaks help prevent this from happening because they can rest their brains for enough days, but not forget what they…

For the past four summers I have been the lead Summer Missionary at the Calhoun Baptist Association. The Summer Missionaries are high school and college students that spend most of thier summer helping local churches with Bible School. We plan and lead the entire Bible school for small churches that have never had one before and we just come along side and help those who just need a few more workers. Most weeks we would lead two schools one in the morning and one at night. Thorugh this role, I…

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…

One thing I will miss about summer is having the freedom to do want I want and when I want to do it. I think that summer just lowers my stress and makes me feel better and more active. I love sleeping in and not having to wake up to an alarm clock. Being tired and not in a good mood. I also like when I could stay up late in summer and watching movies and stuff. For example, I stayed up til 5 in the morning with my friends at a sleepover. I think that summer just gives you freedom and you can go…
