I like Summer

Winter is a terrible part of the year and because of it summer just has to be splendid. I believe that it is, compared to the school filled winter. Sure here in Iowa the humidity is always like a million or something, but at least when I go outside it doesn’t require me to put one about five extra pounds of clothing just to walk outside to do a simple chore, like taking out the garbage.

Summer is great for a number of reasons. Probably the greatest reason of all is the absence of homework. School is awesome and a great opportunity to spend time with people that you often don’t get a chance to, but that’s not why people dislike it. It’s the homework, at least that’s how I feel about it. I know that it is necessary to help a student learn because a class period isn’t enough time to get everything accomplished that the teacher wants. I also know that it helps significantly increase your knowledge if you spend time with the subject outside of school. What bugs me is the time that is taken away from other very important things in one’s life. It takes away time, from your family, from your friends, from your sleep. These are all things that I consider extremely important and I feel that if you prioritize homework in front of those things now, that later in life you will put your work in front of those priceless facets.

During the summer you get to spend time with friends and family. This means camping trips with campfires accompanied by some kind of adventure and with this adventure sprouts hilarious stories usually of ones own embarrassment that can be shared and enjoyed many times. In this time of fellowship we grow closer to our friends and family. During that time of year you are able to do those exciting adventurous activities that you wouldn’t be able to do during summer or any colder time of year like going in caves. If you have ever been in a cave then you know that it is relatively cold in there and if you don’t have gloves your hands are sure to be very cold at the end of the trip. If you went at any another time in the year it would be even colder and when you exited the cave you wouldn’t be warmed as much if it wasn’t for our humid Iowan summer air surrounding us.

This is why summer rocks.
