Summer, the best season of them all. I am that kind of person there have a plan for my summer vacation. I am looking forward to summer in months, and I always have an idea of what a fantastic summer it is going to be. There are many reasons to why I think summer is the best, I mean, with winter, spring, and the fall. They are all great seasons too, but summer blows them all out of the way. The days are getting longer and the nights getting shorter. School is over, so you have the freedom and time, to do anything you want. No more nerve-wrecking testes, homework, or projects. Summer is just the time for fun and relaxing. That is the way I always look at my summer. It was the first day in my summer vacation. I had promised myself, that this summer was going to be crazy. I would do something that no one ever could exceed. My summer would be a whole history of action, activity and excitement, my summer was going to be the one that, everybody would like to hear about. What I did, was I jumped out of.... No wait, more like trying to get up in a slow motion kind of way. Anyway, I was going to have an astonishing day, the first day of ‘Lærkes crazy summer’ could now start. What I did after being...

...Year Round-Schooling is a Mistake Mostly all schools in the United States function on the 10-month calendar but as time pass through people propose to modify from the outdated system to the year-round education. In my perception schools should continue to use the traditional calendar and not a year-round schedule. There are various downsides to year-round schooling. It does not have a positive effect on education, it has a negative effect on the budget, and it interrupts the long summer vacation. To begin, year-round schooling doesn’t impact education in a helpful way. Most year-round schedules have 45 days of school followed by 15 days off. Because of this there are a great quantity of first and last days and that affect the learning...

...My Ideal Summer Vacation A warm and sunny afternoon last day, I was in a deep thought. I was thinking, if I would be given a chance to have a summer vacation without worrying about the expenses, maybe it could be my ideal one. This thought triggered me to ask myself, “What would be my ideal summer vacation looks like?” To start my visualization, I would like to spend it in a place afar from the noisy streets of the city. A place where the only sounds I can hear are the chirping of the birds, the waves crashing on the shore and the laughter of my family. In that place, the trees are dancing gracefully and flowers are waving gently with the wind. In the distance, the shore is filled with sand so white, crystal clear water and with porpoises on the sea side. On the top of the hill resides our home, a small bungalow type but filled with so much contentment and joy. Inside of it are simple things to suffice our needs. Upon entering the entrance door, you will see the clean and tidy living room, with a window on the right that offers a beautiful sight of the blue ocean. Beside our home, there stood a tall and old narra tree that gives us shade during the day. Flowers of different kinds and varieties grows around the yard abundantly. Then, I can see the endless sky above with shiny shimmering stars blinking at night and in the water, it seems the unreachable stars are within my grasp. In a distance, I can see the fire keeps burning from the bonfire we have made, and beside it,...

...It was the summer before my eighth grade year, and the last place I wanted to be was at my church’s vacation bible school. I was scheduled to make confirmation in the coming fall. One of the requirements was to volunteer, and I asked myself: “Why do I have to volunteer? How is this going to help me with confirmation? Isn’t this just a waste of time?” But, I did it because I had too. So, I spent a week of that summer acting as a crew leader for a group of kindergarten students at the summer program. Guess what? It was one of the best weeks of my summer and truly impacted my future direction. I never expected volunteer work could be so meaningful. I knew I wanted to continue on helping others. The next summer I returned and volunteered...

...The county wants to change the regular school schedule into a year round school year in my opinion, I think this is the worst idea ever.I have 3 reasons why this idea is totally horrendous and in this essay I will tell you why. The first reason I think the year round schedule is horrible is because we lose vacation time.If we had only 6 short weeks of summer everyone would go on vacation at the exact same time and it would be all packed.We would we stressing out about studying while weŕe trying to have fun at the beach.It would be challenging for teachers because instead of having a great time with their family, they are sitting in their bed grading papers. The second reason I think this schedule is ludicrous is because we would not have...

...No School In August It seems like summer fun is a thing of the past. School ends in May and begins in early August. Instead of getting that last vacation, we are scurrying around buying school supplies. What happened to going back to school after Labor Day? There are many disadvantages in going back to school in August. I am going to point out a few of them. The most obvious is the missed vacation in August. Everyone knows that it has always been the month for the last summer vacation. I would think that tourism suffers, when the summer break is abruptly ended. Local pools sit unused for an entire month. Theme parks only see visitors on the weekend. The bottom line is that money is lost due to going back so early. August is just too hot, for school. I am sure the kids would agree that going back to school in August, the hottest month, is miserable. Who wants to go back to school in temperatures over 90 degrees? Everyday tasks of walking to and from the bus stop become a journey thru the desert. Yet, there is no oasis to be found. Besides that, who can pay attention in class? The summer is at its peak. There are too many places yet to go. The sound of the ocean waves call your name. The screams of the rollercoaster racing along the tracks echo in your head. There is too much fun to be had. I am sure there is a lot of daydreaming going on. Another issue is safety. There are many extra-curricular outdoor activities. Many student athletes suffer from heat...

...My grandmother lived to travel and see new places. She has traveled to states such as Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Ohio, California, and many more; she has also been to another country, India. Well, last summer she decided to take both of my parents, all four brothers, one sister, and myself with her on vacation to the beautiful Smoky Mountains. We not only visited the Smoky Mountains, but also Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge, a look out peek, and some really stunning waterfalls. My most interesting memory is of my vacation to the glorious Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. The drive to Tennessee was long, but there were so many breathtaking sites on the way, especially at night when all the big cities were filled with bright beautiful lights. When we finally arrived at the condo we stayed in, and it was amazing; it had a balcony, three rooms, a kitchen, a living room, and two bathrooms. The resort that the condo was in had two very large magnificent swimming pools, a sauna, a gym, two hot tubs, and a golf course. The condo was amazing, but we didn’t stay there much, as we did activities all day. I could just not wait till the next morning to really start our vacation. The first day we woke up and went and ate a big tasty breakfast at a little restaurant that was...

My Summer Vacation The last thing most kids want to think about during summer vacation is school. But add some music, creativity and raucous fun, and many children actually wind up begging their parents to take them to summer school. We will be taking part in vacation Bible, an increasingly common summertime activity. Dozens of local churches hold these weeklong events for school-age kids and teens. Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag...

...It was the last day of school and yearbooks were being handed out and signed. After the chaotic half an hour of frantically signing each other’s yearbook, everyone was ready to go home and start their summer vacation. I returned to the West Lobby, where I had left my backpack in a massive pile of other backpacks. To my confusion and dismay, I couldn't find my backpack anywhere and my Varsity Jacket was also missing. My first instinct was that someone had taken my backpack by accident, thinking that it was theirs, as my backpack was a common color, black. Someone else could have taken my Varsity Jacket thinking it was theirs too. I went home empty-handed, assuming that if a person really had taken my backpack or jacket, they would see my name...

...Best Vacation I Always Have Last year I had the best summer of my life, because I got to go on the vacation of my dreams again. We rented a bright blue Jeep, and headed to the beach in Destin, Florida for a week of extremely relaxing rolling waves, and very fine white sandy beaches. The first night there I was sitting by the blazing fire having a fruity adult beverage, and the sweet smell of the air reminded me of my childhood vacations to the Port Aransas beach in Texas with my parents over summer break from elementary school. I will never forget the outstanding memories I created with my parents on my childhood vacations. I could see the constant waves in the ocean from across the crowded beach, and I would always be so excited to step on the soft, white, sandy beach. As a young child, the first thing I would do is change into my one piece lacy swimsuit and run out to the beach. My cousins and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would sit under our yellow umbrella on the soft damp sand and eat a bite of our favorite foods. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. Our favorite thing to do was build the biggest sand castles on the beach. My cousins and I would have contests to see who could draw the best artwork in the sand. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like glitter on our newest handmade T-shirts. I will never forget how the gigantic boat would...

...Florida Summers Each summer my entire family on my mothers’ side piles into a packed conversion van, a mini van, and an SUV and travel the 495.8 miles from Maiden, North Carolina to the Royal Floridian hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida. (Mapquest Maps) The following week is filled with excitement, relaxation, and like most other families, a little tension too, but most importantly, bonding. My family has done this the week of the 4th of July every year for the past 20+ years. Everyone in my family knows it is not acceptable to skip the annual family vacation. I am eighteen years old, and I have been to Florida eighteen times thus far in my life. It is a tradition. Especially after working full time jobs and striving through schoolwork for nine months, everyone is ready for that little break where everyone has that place where they go to escape the pressures and worries of life. There is always that one spot that can soothe all of your problems and trouble times of stress. Each time we go, more and more aspects of the trip take on ritualistic, almost sacred, significance. Indeed, going to Florida is a tradition, and one that I have come to cherish very much. While the week holds many events that change us as a family, the car ride down there is the most memorable. This specific car ride challenges us as a family and pushes us to put aside our differences and learn to accommodate others particular personalities. The main thing I will always remember from this long...

...19 October 2013 Vacations as Time Goes on Now that I am an adult I see how much work goes into making a vacation an enjoyable experience. When I was a child growing up I did not think about all the work that my parents went through to give me the experiences that I now have to look back upon. I only cared about if I was having an enjoyable experience at the time. When I didn’t get my way I would complain about small insignificant things that should not have mattered. It is funny how the things I thought so little about then, make huge differences now. One of the first things that comes to mind when I think of vacations are hotels. When growing up my family would often stay overnight at hotels for mini vacations. I didn’t have a care in the world. I got to sit back and enjoy everything that was going on around me. My parents would choose a hotel for the family to stay at for the night and that was it, that’s where we would be going. I would complain about having to share a bed with my siblings because I wanted my own bed. I also remember complaining about the long car rides to the hotel. As an adult when I look at going to a hotel I have a few things I have to consider before making my decisions. I have to think about where I am going to stay, how much this hotel will cost, and I also have to worry about leaving on time to make it in time for the check in. Another thing I have to consider is what amenities the hotel has to offer for my family to enjoy. Also I must make...

...Warm, sunny Destin is like Heaven on earth. This last summer I acquired a chance to visit Destin for summer vacation. Yes, the 16 hour drive was not super amusing, but it was TOTALLY worth it in the end. I had a ton of fun. We spent a great deal of days relaxing on the beach, but we also went to this enormous amusement park called the track. What I loved the uttermost about that trip was all the time we spent together. We also went with our wonderful friends the Hirners. On the day we were suppose to leave, my mom nudged me to wake me up from my slumber at five a.m. She was screaming “ hoary hoary our bear vacation starts today!” From the book The Bears Vacation. I knew what day it was so I rapidly bounced out of bed to hustle and get in...

...It was the summer of two-thousand and six, the best week of that year. Summer school would be out soon, I was looking forward to it since the beginning of the school year. My girlfriends and I had so many adventures planned for the summer; missing one would be like a mission on grand theft auto left uncompleted. One day, I arrive home from summer school angry at the world since my mom forgot about me at the bus stop. When I get home, I over hear her talking on the phone saying, “oh yes go ahead and reserve Dennis a plane ticket too.” Like if I was not angry enough, she decides for me that I am going on vacations to Mexico with my aunt and my cousins, for a whole month! I still remember how mad I was. I kept telling her “well mother your spending money on a plane ticket for nothing, because I’m not going.” Finally, they convinced me to go to Mexico with the promise that if I absolutely hated it, they would buy my plane ticket to return home. The first week there I couldn’t take it, it was the middle of summer and it was raining. We had nothing to do, all we did was sit in the room where we would sleep and look at each other. I decide that the next day I was going to call my parents. I bought a pre-paid card and I did just that. “Mom, I hate it here. You told me to try it out and I did.” Since they had promised me a plane ticket back home, I was convinced that soon I would be back in lovely California. Finally, it stopped raining and later that night one of my cousins decided...

...Year round school Last August, I was having the time of of my life with all my friends playing some backyard football. When suddenly a school ad came on the radio and we began to talk about school coming up.This gave me chills especially because I did not know anything about the upcoming school year.Weeks later, sure enough it was the first week of my junior year and the most dreaded words a high schooler wants to hear is “pop quiz” or “test” and like I thought it was on what we knew from last year. As I was taking the quiz I could remember nothing but summer fun. As we got our quizzes back I realized I had failed. And as I thought we were going to review last year for the first couple weeks I was wrong we jumped right into this year's curriculum...
