My Summer Experience

When most people think about summer, they might think of swimming, time off from work and school, making memories, and other various outdoor activities. However, I think of summer as a time to relax, hangout with friends and family, and learn new things. This past summer, I learned about teamwork, that spending time with family is important, and that God will always be there for me.
