Freedom Summer

took off the summer of my junior year in high school. Growing up, there were multiple times where I prayed to give my life up to God. I had a wonderful youth group down the street where I grew up, and my youth pastor really inspired me to explore Christianity, and what it means to walk with Christ. The summer of my junior year I was fortunate to be a councilor in training at Camp Firwood, located in Bellingham, Washington. It was hard work but it gave me the opportunity to spend me summer devoted to

During the school year, there is one thing that will always be on every child’s mind: How far away is summer vacation. We all experienced this as children, and it kept us focused on getting through the school year so we did not need to go to summer school. For many students they looked forward to all of the amazing things they can do in the summer with their friends and family. A struggle with education for a long time is having kids not forget the information that they learned during the school

It was a beautiful day at our Los Angeles pad. Myself, Burt Ward, was just getting back from work with my best friend in the world Adam West. “Ah, solving mysteries and saving the day truly does tire a person out. Am I right my partner in crime?”, said Adam. “What mystery did you solve?”, I inquired. “Why my quirky prodigy how have you forgotten? We just stopped that devious jokester from stealing precious minerals to fund destroying Gotham only this morning.”,exclaimed Adam. “I will not rest

thought about relationships or “soulmates”. I felt weird too, I mean there were guys that were cute, but I had never met one that I had really wanted to be with. The summer of my junior year was when that changed. I had recently started being apart of a production at my local museum and was keeping myself busy through the dreadful days of summer. The director’s daughter was helping out, she was two grades ahead of me and she had just graduated. I had admired her she was in the chorus,band, and drama departments

smell of her rose garden, the sun trickling in and casting shadows from between the leaves. To this day, the smell of roses takes me back to the first truly happy time in my life. It was in my grandma’s garden that I would spend the long, lazy days of summer, playing with toys, her reading to me, and just generally enjoy being in nature with the person I loved the most. My grandmother took an inordinate amount of pride in her garden; she was as attentive and caring to it as she was with all living things

Who would have thought that one day I would be able to go on an adventure alone and actually make it there and back in one piece? It was the summer of 2016, it had been so hot actually scorching every single day throughout June. All I wanted to do was jump into an ice-cold pool to cool down and feel refreshed but at the time our pool was being built so that idea was out the window, then another thought popped into my head, I just needed to get out of this house, I needed to venture somewhere that

I was a sophomore in High School, Ellen was a freshman and by the beginning of the calendar year, we were wildly popular, it seemed as if every freshman and sophomore on campus knew who we were. We often dressed alike, something we retained from when we were children and our mother clothed us in the same outfits, we teased our hair up in bouffant styles, wore heaps of mascara, and eyeliner artistically drawing little wings in the corner of our eyes. My sister and I were part of the in-crowd and

It was the summer of 15. Filled with travel, laughter, and smiles. But, at that time I didn’t pay attention or even cherish those moments. Now, I truly know how much I miss the feeling of being that happy all the time. School was out. Everyone just waiting for the clock to hit the 12, that’s when everything in my life changed. It was my first time going on my airplane. My first time being in a car for more than 8 hours. It was my very first firsts. I'm not going to lie. That scared me. You know

Story About My Life During the summer of 2017 life was perfectly fine, not worrying about stress and being carefree and single. This is why it was carefree and fun first I had a job at McDonald’s which I thought was going to be boring and dreadful but it turned out that I loved it the managers they were nice and I was very good at every job they gave me and then when paycheck day came I was cut 400 dollars which didn’t bother me much at first because the manager said he would fix it I just had

It was a hot and sunny day in the month of May in the summer of 2016, and sports started to frustrate me. I, struggling with the game of football because of my size and strength, had no clue what to do. I wanted to quit. I wanted to give up, but my father said no. he said unless I can find something else to do, he would not let me quit. My father didn’t want to see all of my talent and hard work go to waste. Which I completely understood because in my younger years, I had some success because of
