    The average American’s summer break includes exciting or leisurely vacations with the family, cookouts with the neighbors, tanning (or burning) at the pool, and watching fireworks on the 4th of July. Although the typical kid eagerly anticipates this season, not everyone gets to enjoy a long summer break. About 4% of America’s education systems have implemented year-round schooling in which the summer break is swapped out for shorter breaks throughout the year (Kelsey). Though some believe year-round

    wonderful, now. It wasn't always my favorite season. Fall marks the beginning of the school year, and what kid likes going back to school after spending long summer days out playing with their friends and causing trouble around the neighborhood. That's not a hundred percent accurate, I was a good kid, and I rarely caused trouble, but summer did mean I had a certain level of freedom. I could stay up all night, and sleep all day, because I didn't have anywhere to be the next day. Fall is a season

    In my eighteen years of my life, this summer has surely been the most memorable. It was filled with countless wonderful memories during these past three months. This summer was filled with loads of amusement, excitement, nerves, and sadness. Summer started one week early, however, other than that it was to an extent, the same as the other summers. I spent a vast deal of my time working, with my friends and family, and in the gym. This year marked my fourth year working as a lifeguard at the Winner

    I had been eagerly been anticipating this day ever since . The sun was beaming. A nice breeze was flowing. It was a good summer day. There was something different though. The second I came home from the bus, I flopped onto my bed and my eyelids instantly slid. It felt as if I had just rolled up a ball of all my stress and kicked it aside. I had just finished a laborious grade 8 and an exceedingly stressful last week of final exams. I couldn’t help but succumb to after countless days of sleeping late

    I don’t know when I started calling that time in my life, “The Beautiful Years,” but so it is now firmly planted in my heart. Those years are bookended by such sadness and despair they almost appear to be a part of someone else’s life. But they are mine; they are a part of me, and I hope to someday reclaim even a small part of the joy that existed therein. I was three when my mother packed her five little girls into a taxi with only clothes enough to keep us warm, in the wee morning hours of

    My Summer Road Trip The late June Texas sun was hot as it came through the window of my Caliber. I had begun my road trip to the lake house in Mineola early that morning. I had dressed for comfort, wearing my blue shorts and my favorite worn out tee, I knew it was going to be a long hot drive. As I drove down the road, I soon realized that I had never been anywhere alone before. This was a new feeling to me, one of strength and fear rolled into one. While fighting the traffic to get out of town

    day I decided I wanted to learn the piano. Every day at the same time I would go in her sitting room and practice, and every day she would listen and tell me how good a job I was doing. Some days she would even come play with me. Every day of that summer looked exactly the same: sleep in the morning on the couch, have lunch with my mom, and play piano in the afternoon. It did change on some days when my grandmother would take me to the Baskin Robins down the street, and we’d get ice cream, but I’d

    When I was around nine years old I lived in California. It was nothing fancy; we lived in a standard house and I attended the elementary school I was zoned to. I was in the choir, too. The choir was, if my memory does not fail me, a combination of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. That year the teacher had decided to use the song “Happiness” from the Broadway musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. While it was not a very good rendition of the piece, it stayed with me throughout the years. For
