My Life Changing Summer

My favorite hobby is longboarding, I never get tired of the adrenaline and free spirit I feel while cruising down the road. I started longboarding about 3 years ago and since i started i've never wanted to stop. I choose to longboard more than I chose to ride in the car due to the fact that I just find it very relaxing and entertaining. I have influenced a few of my friends to start longboarding and lately its just getting better and better cause I get to ride with my friends as well.

My summer of 2017 consisted of visiting places all over the United States such as New York City, Washington D.C., and Florida. Not only did traveling this summer teach me new things, but it also made me go outside my comfort zone and experience new things. This was single-handedly the best summer of my life and wish I could relive it over again.

Following the success of “The Summer I Turned Pretty”, Jenny Han published another captivating Young Adult book many known as “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”. And to no surprise, it had become a New York Bestseller among readers. This book is quite intricate. You may end up either loving it or saying “meh” to it. This could be due to characters' way of dealing with circumstances, how the plot line is by all accounts going at a moderate pace, and so forth.

The short sci-fi story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about being treated as an outcast and reveals the alienating effects that it may have. Sometimes this treatment is brought on by others. In this case, Margot is treated in this harsh manner because she isn’t the same as her classmates and they desire to have the life experiences that she has. Being outcast may not be the only main theme for this story in each reader’s mind. All Summer in A Day provides a multitude of possible themes. This may be the case, however, the children’s physical and emotional abuse of Margot is extreme and justifies this theme. As the time draws nearer for the sun to rise, Margot’s classmates become more brash and crue and at that moment, Margot is exponentially different from the other children in hr class. This concept of being outcast and

The 1960’s was a time like no other in American history. Racial tension between African Americans and white, middle class citizens had plagued the country. Animosity towards African Americans was aggressive throughout the south and did not show signs of letting up. Alongside rising racial tensions, fear of communism put many on edge, which gave Americans more of a reason to use blacks as a scapegoat to blame for occurring issues. At the time, white Americans in the south perceived African Americans as inferior, regardless of if they were technically “free”. The strong contempt towards the black community lead to widespread oppression of African Americans

All of my past summers have always followed the same path, but this year summer took a different path. This summer was more about surviving than having fun. They have always been about spending time with friends, sleeping, and just relaxing. When you are a kid that is what summer is all about, but as you get older it changes. This summer I had to juggle more than just friends and fun. I had to juggle work, practice, training, and just trying to hang with my friends.

If I were to pick my favorite hobby, it would have to be shopping. I know, sounds a little girly, but I love to shop online for clothes, accessories, sneakers, etc. My obsession started out with getting magazines delivered to my house, like Eastbay. Looking for the coolest pair of Jordan shorts or the newest pair of Nikes. I tend to think that my older brother is the one who got me interested in this hobby, seeing him and all of his friends in Jordan clothes made me want that to. Little did I know that this hobby would drag on and keep progressing into a more time ,and money consuming practice.

The summer of transitioning from middle school to high school was full of anticipation. I was fourteen and nervous about starting high school, anxiously counting down the days and hours until the first day. I would start swimming that fall for my high school’s swim team; which filled me with both excitement and anxiety over grueling practices and meets. However, all of this anticipation for school and swimming quickly fled once the news of Hurricane Irene broke. The storm was destined to hit the Connecticut shoreline the same week school started. It quickly became the only thing people talked about. If I turned on the news it was all the weathermen would talk about for days and how to prepare for it. My anticipation for school was replaced by anticipating the storm.

My sophomore summer was ok I really didn’t do many things besides play baseball and mow hay. To begin with I was really excited for baseball to start because it’s my favorite sport, but by the end of summer I was ready for it to be over. Mostly because I started playing baseball in the middle of March and didn’t get over until the end of July.

We’re only several days away from 2017 and I’m sure we can all agree that 2016 was a really, almost unbearably, long and turbulent year for many of us. We’ve been graced with everything ranging from people becoming dogs on Snapchat to Vine being shutdown and lets not forget McDonalds introduced a 24-hours breakfast menu. Although 2016 was the worst we’re going to recap on all the good and bad things this year has given us incase you forgot.

With summer almost over, I can't help but look back on the past few months. Mid-May I was completely blindfolded, I dived into the summer months without any goals or any idea of what it would bring.

The poem “The summer I was sixteen” by Geraldine Connolly is about joy and this reveals enjoying childhood and remembering good times as you grow up. The poem is about an experience to which many people can relate to. The poem tries to retrieve memories from the past and make them present once again, and this can help readers to relate to their experience. The speaker of the poem can be described as joyful because in line 3 “ we plunged,screaming,into a mirage of bubbles” it shows how the speaker is having fun. The focus and point of the poem is

The 2011 Coretta Scott King Author Award was awarded to One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. Narrated by eleven-year-old Delphine, this story is set in 1968 in Oakland, California. The topics in this book include the Black Panther Party, child abandonment, and cultural differences; however, these are all told from a child’s point-of-view.

My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months. During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together.
