Summer school

-6- On Monday, I go to my first day of summer school. When I arrive, there is my old teacher, Mr. James. I say, “Hello, Mr. James! Lucky day! Guess what? It’s me! Francisco!” Mr. James says, “Yes, I see that. Please sit down. It’s time for our very first test. You did do the pre-reading, right?” I say, “I did not do the pre-reading. Or the reading. Or the post reading. I did not do any reading at all because it is summer and that is just wrong.” He says, “Well. Here’s your test. It is…

Camp Widjiwagan (Rough Draft) Albus Dumbledore once said, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” Often, when summer comes around, many kids begin to dream about summer camp. Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the…

guidelines impacts the process of camper registration. For example, it is not technically legal for a camp to put campers with disabilities on a wait list. In some districts, they are not allowed to put a permanent cap on the capacity of campers for each summer camp because of this. Unless the ratio of camper to counselor/staffer becomes a safety problem or the over-abundance of campers causes a drain on the city’s budget, they are required to make the cap flexible to allow more campers in.…

hard work and dedication on my part, so over the summer of fourth and fifth grade I did nothing but eat and breathe books. I was determined to start fifth grade and not be afraid of when it was my turn to read out loud.…

privileged family and attending a good school makes myself take for granted what some people truly go though. I have always enjoyed my history classes throughout high school because my teachers were so passionate about their subjects. After this course I had acquired a different level of education of American History that I have grown to appreciate. Prior to this class I had not been aware of several events in our history including the project of Freedom Summer which took place in 1964.…

many themes, and symbols. These books are used in many programs that my foreign friends go to and use their English skills for good things. For example, my friend in India uses these books in his school. These books are great, and have many things to write about. Dandelion Wine is the story of a summer and has many themes, but it is also a story about people's lives and what it means to live. Doug Spaulding is the central character in the book, and the great challenge that he faces over the…

My interest in tigers continued to grow as I got older. I grew up in Medway, MA., which is about 30 minutes from Southwick’s Zoo. Southwick’s Zoo is one of the few zoos in Massachusetts that has tigers at its facilities. Every year in elementary school, my class would go on a field trip to the zoo. This was the one field trip I consistently looked forward to each year. It gave me the chance…

Most of my life I have allowed others to define me. Not only did I let others assume who I am, I even would (still do) let others make decisions for me. The summer of my junior year I let a lot of people assume things about me. It was an important summer of finding myself in terms of my sexuality. That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day…

could be that summer internship, you miss out due to the fact you got a C- instead of your peer who got an A. During the summer, I have learned various study skills in my College study skills class, such as active reading skills, test taking strategies, different types of an academic mindset, and using resources around campus. I was putting all of these in practice…
