During Thanksgiving break I went to a paintball course. Then I shot gun and went hunting. I had thanksgiving at my great grandma’s house, I had turkey, ham, and chicken, and mash potatoes. I saw 3 deer when I was hunting. “We had to outside and play a game of football,” said dad. Then we went hunting again and did not see anything. We talked about guns, deer, and food. The people that made the foods as my mom, grandma, aunts, friends. I went to my friend’s house in Welch and stay the night. We rode bikes around town. We did tricks on the bikes it was cold that night. The town of Welch was all inside the house getting warm. They all looked at me and him we rode to the apartments by the church I go to. Then I went to the high school boys basketball
Thanksgiving Day is a day of family, food, and giving thanks for the blessings in life and yet some people believe Thanksgiving to be a prep day for Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. The focus of Thanksgiving shifted from family bonding to incessant shopping. This trend of taking away from the hours of Thanksgiving in order to shop is enraging. It steals away from family time for the shoppers and the employees. Employers threaten workers that if they do not work on that certain holiday, they will be fired. Black Friday should be kept to Friday instead of moving in on my family time. The whole culture of Black Friday has become repugnant and unnecessary.
I wish it could snow in the summertime, but let’s get real, we all know that’s never going to happen. Did you know that the world record for the most snow fallen in one day, is ultimately 8 ft! This was a record for one continuous snowfall! This record was recorded in Silver Lake, Colorado. 40 miles west of Denver.
Thanksgiving break a bust,I thought.The fall air swept through as my sister and I kept playing volleyball.My mom came bursting out,she was trying to catch her breath as I questioned,
Before, I could even take note, it was already October. It was time for me to pack everything in my room, and say my final goodbyes to my family members. I was going to leave everything that meant a lot to me behind. Previously, before October, we picked up my dad from the airport so that he could help us load all of our belongings to the U-Haul truck. Lily, ‘my cousin’, (we aren’t related, she is just a very close friend who I consider family) was staying with use because she want to see her father, who was also living in Denver. My mom and dad, sister, uncle, cousin, and I all stayed at the house one last night. I remember that my sister said that all her friends gathered around my mom’s car to wave goodbye to her. Her closest friends got very emotional and they started to cry. Not only did the move affect me, it also affected my sister greatly. It was like someone had given her a punch in the stomach. By the next day, we had everything in the U-Haul truck, and it was time for me to leave my precious Vegas behind. We had now started the drive to
Ok. One night my sister and I were at my father’s house. He lives in Kingsville on 10 maybe 9 acres of land in this [small pause, looks at ceiling] I wouldn’t really call it a farmhouse, just a kind of small house out there. The previous person who lived in the house was supposedly shipped to an asylum, for, you know, normal stuff [pause] schizophrenic or something. My sister and I were at the house one night and we were cleaning up the house while my dad was on some sort of job out of the state and my step mom was at work in the hospital. We were doing our stuff, and then the power flickered, and came back on. We didn’t think anything of it. Then, outside of the door, we heard a noise, kinda like a dog barking, but like, just enough not so that we knew it wasn’t. So, we hear this noise, and start to get fre...
I really didn’t do anything on Christmas break and It was boring because we didn’t go nowhere and I was just sitting at my house doing nothing and all I did was just play my games in my room with some friends on xbox and ps4. When Christmas morning was finally upon us my little brother woke everybody up to go open present’s and everyone got every gift they got and I got a little long box and I said “ i'm going to open that one last ” and when I opened my other presents I went to get that little long box and when I unwrapped it was a apple watch and I was so happy because I been wanting one for a long time.
Last year, Right before winter break there were 3 snow days. On those 3 snow days It was below freezing. A pond behind my house started to freeze on the first day. After 3 days I saw many people walking on that 2 inch thick layer of ice. Everyone was running around on it slipping on it, It looked fun. The day after I decided to try it. I went outside and walked on the ice. The Ice was very slippery, I noticed that everyone that seemed happy.
Over spring break, I mostly played games with my family. Me and my family went to an amusement park in Arizona for my sisters birthday. Next we went home and me and my sister played games and watched Tv for a week. Every morning that my dad went to work, I had to get up early and go to the gym with him, so I almost never got to sleep in. One Saturday he was off, me, my sister, and my cousin went with him to a renaissance fair. When we were there we got to look at all the medieval shops and trinkets. There were also shows and games we could play. The day before, we went to an amazing horse and acrobatic show. They even flooded the stage where the actors were and made them dance in water. It was very fancy and we had a lot of fun. The next week
Summer Break: Longer or the same?By:Gabriel EstesMost kids and some teachers think of summer vacation as a getaway, R&R time. Don't get me wrong it is, in fact according to debate.org, “School taxes would be a lot less and lessdropouts. More kids would be having family/friend bonding time, Students will make moremoneyduring the summervacations from jobs and with that moneythey can use it for college.” In my own opinion, I think that for the sake of my family, and brother's stress, they are perfectly fine with summer break staying with the 2 month period. I personally agree, I think that it should stay the same.According to an article on The Mercury News, ““I do believe that if children have not mastered a subject that, within a week, personally, I see a slide in my own child,” said Tina Bruno, executive director of the Coalition for a Traditional School Calendar.
"Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun." This quote by Brian Wilson shows that extending the school year would not only feel more like a punishment but it would also be hurting the school. Some of the main reasons for summer break is so that: students and facalty can take a mental break, summer activtes, and so that teachers can get things ready for the new students comin in. This hiatus helps keep down the chaos.
Winter break of my eighth grade year my parents decided to go on a cruise. We would go on the cruise and visit Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. I was less than excited because I did not want to lose wifi. I know I was a vain just fourteen years old. The port was in New Orleans so we ventured the eight hour drive to the port. We arrived and the luggage checks took forever. The lines were so long and I had just been in a car. I was already mad and then we took a family picture and I looked a mess. I became angry that we had to take our I.D. picture too. I wanted to look my best. I know I was a vain just fourteen years old. We get to our cabin and turn on the T.V. and there was breaking news. We were on the ship the day Sandy Hook took place. I was in utter shock. I still
My ultimate spring break is too imaginable to be possible. Over the seven-day break, me, my mom, and a couple of my friends such as Reagan, Camryn, and Sydney, will be going to the Aloha State, also known as Hawaii. When we get to the airport, it will feel like days going by as wait for our flight. On the plane, we board first class with a couple other people. We will land in Hawaii, and look at the breathtaking view. To get to our hotel, we rent a lamborghini from the airport in Hawaii. Once we get to our room, it looks amazing. There’s a TV, a window with a gorgeous view, and enough space for all of us. My mom will sleep on the bed on the bed in the other room while Me, Reagan, Camryn, and Sydney will sleep on the other bed and the pullout
From elementary to high school, kids from all grade levels get excited over spring break. This well deserved week of vacation is important because it gives us students time to relax before the end of course exams.
I had an extremely amazing time on my Winter break. First of all, I spent a lot of time with my friends over the break. For example, my favorite part on winter break was playing soccer with my friends. My soccer team would play against each other and hang out at a pizza place. Most of the time on my winter break was playing Minecraft with Kalena. My other favorite part of winter break was having playdates with them. Lastly, my last favorite part was, watching Youtube videos together and laugh at the funny things that they did. We usually watch Minecraft videos. Second of all, I did a lot of Christmas bonding with my family over break. For instance, one of the things I did was Christmas shopping. A lot of people were at the mall and
Do you like to go to school for seven hours a day straight with no breaks? Mr. Hale please consider having a short break. Having a break would benefit the students. It would acquiesce them to use the bathroom or socialize with friends. Also, you could finish any homework or study. It would also help students pay better attention in class.
