She has better plans for her afternoon. Experience It It’s the last day of school and as the day goes on the excite- ment builds: it seems like a never ending drama. Students are like butterflies trying to break out of their cocoon. Finally they escape into the bright blue sky for the last time that school year. That’s when the summer vaca- tion starts and the students are let free, let loose from their everyday cycle. They are let out into the fresh air and long summer days. Freedom is summer vacation. It gives each and every student a chance to experiment and relax. Many students felt that their past summers were a bore. But other students felt differently remembering many different activities that made summer pass quickly. One senior student Paula Thayer stated “I had a very exciting and enjoyable two weeks spent in Bradenton, Florida.” Other students spent the long summer days working to keep occupied and earn some money. Sophomore Tracy Mauk stat- ed, “I had a summer full of all work and no play.” Many student jobs were very inter- esting, and varied from baby- sitting to working at summer camp. Senior Andre Pringle said, “I had a full summer of working hard at football camp.” There are many different ex- citing activities to keep stu- dents occupied during the summer if people would just look for them. So, before students can say, “I had a boring summer with nothing to do,” they have to get out there, get with friends, and put their minds to work. They will be amazed at all the things that summer holds. Cheryl Lawson Summer Vacation 11
