The warm sun touches your skin, the fresh air dances through your hair, and memories of summer run through your mind. There are many ways to make this summer memorable and unforgettable. I’ve gathered some of the most memorable summer experiences students have had throughout their lives to help you decide how to make this upcoming summer unforgettable.
When you think about your past summer memories, you likely recall the people you spent time with, such as your family. This summer I encourage everyone to reconnect with those whose company they enjoy. Summer is the perfect time to reconnect with people they love, go to fun places, and enjoy free time.
Sebastian Landin, a sophomore from Godinez Fundamental High School, explains why summer provides the opportunity to reconnect with loved ones.
“Summer provides the time to reconnect with people I love by allowing more free time for myself without having to be at school for half of my day,” Landin said.
Sophomore Samantha Joaquin states why the summer allows her more time to reconnect with people she loves as well.
“School takes up a lot of my time and doesn’t allow me to reconnect with the people I love as much as I’d like to,” Joaquin said.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the usual school day for a high school student in California is 6.24 hours, with five school days a week that turns into 31.2 hours, and in addition, Middle College High School students are dual enrolled. This is why summer can provide the time for students to be stress free and have more time to reconnect not only with others but with themselves as well.
Joaquin brainstorms ideas for spending time with her loved ones this upcoming summer.
“Some fun ideas are the beach, the fair, the pool, the park, and Knotts Berry Farm,” Joaquin said.
Landin also shares what he’ll be doing over the summer to make it unforgettable.
“Over the summer I plan on going to multiple places with my girlfriend. I also plan on going to Hawaii for a soccer tournament,” Landin said.
Joaquin suggests a few other ideas for summer activities.
“A memory I have of a summer with my family is going hiking or taking a walk,” Joaquin said.
Landin shares what he loves to do during the summer.
“Over the summer I usually like to play soccer, go to the gym, and spend time with my girlfriend,” Landin said.
Landin shares ideas on how you can make your summer break remarkable.
“By trying new things,” Landin said.
To never forget this upcoming summer Joaquin stated how she will try to make this an unforgettable summer.
