of them — people who promise to show them the wonders of nature, fun, new skills, and friendships. As a parent of two children, even I struggle with the idea, and I have been around summer camps my entire life. The world needs the next generation to be more tolerant of each other’s views, ideology, and beliefs. Summer camp is an opportunity for children to be exposed to the best of human character. Carefully selected role models are dedicated to showing your child how to have fun, learn from others

and my sister, Casey, we best friends with the girl who lived across the street from us, Bridgette Samuels. Bridgette spent more time at our house than her own. My mother used to always joke that Bridgette was her third daughter. She very could have been. She would go out to dinner with us every Friday night, join us on our family vacations, was pictured on every Christmas card, and had her own place at our kitchen table. When my mom went grocery shopping, she not only bought Casey’s and my favorite

DARK SUMMER (a true story that happened 2 months ago) It was past midnight, I was in the ICU, watching over my father who was in coma since yesterday morning when we came here.

I can't decipher what he was saying. Then he spoke, and it was clear, the words I will never ever forget. Summer times

volunteering programs struck me the most. Being a ‘volunteer’ at the Dublin Library, being a peer collaborator at Coffman High School, and volunteering at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital had significant impacts on me. In the last two summers, I spent most of summer vacation volunteering at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus Ohio. I worked both at the children’s clubhouse and the gift shop. I decided to come volunteer at the hospital to learn skills and to experience a medical environment

I was born and raised in America. However, my experiences here would be extremely limited if I denied my Spanish heritage. I live in America, but my heart and mind are often with my heritage. Though I grew up like most children, I spent my summers visiting Europe and learning my language and culture, which has since become sacrosanct to my identity. Through these activities, I felt separate from my classmates, until I moved to a new town. Here, I learned that every culture is different -- from the

My favorite summer vacation was when my Father took me to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. What made it even more memorable was the fact that it was my very first time on an airplane. I cannot recall another time in my life when I experienced so much joy. That trip to Universal Studios was the first time my Father and I actually did something together, just the two of us and was something brought me close to my Father. In this essay I

the most of it and carry on with your life. These three quotes help reveal the topic and underlying message of the song, “Remember asking both my mom and dad, Why we never traveled to exotic lands We only ever really visit friends, Nothing to tell when the summer ends”. Lukas Graham is saying that all the other kids go on vacations and travel over the summer, but they didn’t and they had nothing to say when school started, but

My One Summer Highlight I had so many amazing memories this summer. However my favorite memory is when I caught sea bass on Catalina Island. So one day, my family and I decided to go fishing. We walked onto the extended, wooden bridge to get our vessel. It was a dingy that was made out of wood and it was painted tan. Once we were ready, we went out to the ocean that surrounded the island. We steered our boat for about seven minutes to a vast area of sea. We dropped our lines and waited, and waited
