Hanging on Memories of summer left students wanting it to never end • School? Today?!' Mary stood in a daze. ‘Where has my sum- mer gone? It can t be over! Mary, like many other students, found the realization of the end of summer hard to believe. Beaches, camps, and trips were now only memories. To some people summer vacation was much too short for all their activities and plans. “Summer was too short for me since one month was taken away because I took a class in drivers ed.. so actually I only had two months to relax, vaca- tion. visit, and do eve- rything else I wanted to do, senior Shannon Mooney said. Other students found summer vacation to be a time to reunite with their families who lived in distant places. I went to San Antonio with my family to visit relatives. It was nice because it is not very often that I can visit them. When I was there I went on the riverwalk. shopped downtown, and had cook-outs with my family. sophomore Felicia Mendoza said. The trips brought most students closer to their families. My grand- mother visited my fam- ily over the summer. Since she lives in Mon- terey I do not get a chance to see her that often and the ties be- tween us are not that close but her visit brought all of my family closer together again and it seemed as if there had been no time difference at all since the last time I had seen her, junior Martin Campos said. Some students de- voted their summer va- cation to their jobs or looking for a job. I spent my entire sum- mer looking for a job. When I was not looking for a job I just stayed home and watched the television or visited friends. sophomore Samuel Marsh said. Summer provided a time for students to meet with friends to go on a fun-filled trip. A friend and I went on a three day vacation to- gether. Staying in Dal- las and just visiting places near us. like Six Flags, made it even more fun because there were no worries. If something went wrong help was only a phone call away and no wor- ries provided a care- free. exciting trip. jun- ior Cassandra Jimenez said. Whether summer was too short or too long it provided time to relax, visit friends and relatives, and travel to different places as well as provide memories that were cherished for- ever. Please, please I promise to be nice to my kid brother (well most of the time) to do everything I'm asked to do and ... said Mary as she vainly tried to bargain her way into having one more fun- filled day out of the summer. — Annette L.
