subject: Summer Break is Over [print this page]

For almost two months, we were in a summer relief resting for the ten months of going back and

forth to school.Maybe some of us had summer classes or went to other places to spent a long

vacation with their families. We, the students, were surely relieved of the stress of homeworks,

school projects and researches.To the diligent ones it was a rest for the nightly burning of

the midnight lamp. To the average ones, summer break was a rest from seeing the faces of "very

strict teachers". To the naughty school children, how they wish summer break is forever.

Before, parents undergo a break from their children's daily school expenses during summer

break, but now it was the other side of the story. The parents who could have saved a lot this

summer still spending a lot of money for their kids wants and needs like malling and playing

computer games.

Similarly, our loving and proud teachers certainly enjoyed their summer break . They have surely

filled the time they lost with their families. It is said that being a teacher is a great line of work,

but in the Philippines, teachers are complaining especially the public school teachers. They

always say that what they received is not enough to their dedication and unselfish determination

to mold the youth in the preparation of the future.

I remember when I was a little bit younger, I enjoyed playing summer kites with other young

boys in our place. How will I also forget the lazy summer afternoons swimming in rivers,

climbing a mango tree, going to the forest and playing outdoor horror games until late at night,

especially if it is a full moon.I also appreciated the events concerning April and May

Fiestas,Santa Cruzan and Pabasa during the Holy Week.

Some kids also spent their long vacation elsewhere like in Davao or Manila. How I enjoyed my

first experience of Davao summer of 2010. I was then only 13 years old and I found Davao a

complete different from our place. The fast cars, the people, the noisy atmosphere and the honky-

tonky taxis before. How I also remembered when I had a 5-day Christian Camp there where I

had many friends throughout the country.

Just like all of the things here in earth, summer breaks are really temporary and not for ever.Let's

all realize that life is a cycle. Let's welcome another school year and say good bye to summer as

we remember all the memories we've got.
