Summer of Love

Growing up in Southern California we spent most of our summers at Lake Havasu and Parker. For as long as I can remember, getting to spend my summers on the lake with my close friends and family was what got me through the school year, knowing that for a full month I would have no cares in the world except for what adventures lay ahead of us. As the school year came to an end, all we could think about was getting to the lake to start our last summer together before we all ventured off in…

For many Canadians, the Victoria Day long weekend is the unofficial start of the cottage season (Statutory Holidays, 2017, para.1). For pool owners, “A general rule of thumb is to wait until the May long weekend to open the family pool”. (Northumberland News, 2015, para. 2.) The reason this weekend is commonly used for both cottage and pool openings is, the warm weather allows for friends and family to enjoy outdoor activities. What is more relaxing than enjoying the sun and warmth on your skin…

Summer vacation is important for students who want a break from school. School causes stress for many students who try their hardest to succeed in academics. Taking away the one thing students look forward to, summer time, is a punishment to all in the school system. Switching to year-round school would cause students’ interests to decrease dramatically within the first year. Year-round school should not be endorsed because students would have more freedom, their sleeping schedules would be more…

and walking trails. About one year ago, I was invited to go on a trip with one of my best friends. SHe invited me to a small town in northern Arkansas. I do not remember the name of this town, but i do remember how much it made me realize I love being outdoors. Blakely, my friend, called me one day asking if I would go on this trip for three days to this small, country town. I agreed. So for the next couple of hours, we were talking about all the things we would do. We would hang out…

I was in my last few days of 3rd grade and I couldn’t wait for summer. Just thinking about all the good times I would have like camping, swimming, and playing baseball with my team, the Aces, had me giddy. As the last few days of school came to an end my anxiousness grew until it finally came. Summer, free at last. The summer was going great, the days where hot and had a humidness that stuck to you. Every day I ran around with my friends and tried as hard as I could to make it back before…

secure growing up was that I knew that I was worthy of love and I knew that my parents loved me. At this stage of life, I considered myself a Christian, but did not know what it truly meant to follow God. It is for that reason that I cannot clearly explain my attachment style to God at that time of my life, but as I understood the meaning of following Christ, I developed a secure attachment style to God. I believed with everything I had that He loves me,…

The 1980 Heat Wave in the United States Disasters, as the word suggests, is a phenomenon that actually tends to spell a doom on the regular routine of an entire society and depending upon its size and effects it can even cause a change in the working process of an entire country. Basically, when something big happens that we cannot stop or cannot change is known as a disaster. Every year, millions of people are affected by the natural disasters and man-made disasters (Georgian Med News, 2011).…

Do you think there should be year-round schooling? Educators believe that by students having such a long summer they forget most of what they learn when they come back to school. There is discussion on whether students should have a shorter summer and long breaks during the school year so students are more likely to remember what they learned. Educators believe that a shorter summer breaks will improve students abilities to remember what they learned during the school year. This is why I believe…

year round schooling? If so, there are many good reasons to favor going school year round. First, it would lessen our summer learning loss effect to a great extent. Secondly, summer education programs that are used to get kids back into the swing of things would no longer be needed. Lastly, short breaks allow students to recharge themselves for the weeks to come. Over the summer, students lose their focus on schooling for many months at a time. They are not enforced to do any work to keep…

Speech for Year-Round School Do students feel bored by the end of their 3 month long summer? As a student I feel like a kid that has no school skills when I come back from summer break. This is why teachers take longer on the first few units because kids have forgotten the skills they needed for the next level education. I think Year-Round school would be more beneficial because it would solve kid’s problems of forgetting skills they need for the next level of education. If Year-Round school…
