When you think about the climate, landscaping and activities they are so different. The only thing they have in common, both places are beautiful in their own way and people love to vacation there throughout the year.

Planning Your Perfect Vacation Choosing a destination for your vacation may be the easiest part of planning the whole trip but planning the details of it is the hard part. Some people have it down to a science and some do it all last minute. When you wait until the last minute to plan your trip it can end up being very expensive. I prefer to keep it simple and take my time planning my trip, keeping it as stress free as possible. The first step in planning your vacation is choosing the destination

One day, on the way home from school, my mom told me she was going to make up some new rules for me and my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. Well, Mom took care of that. On Sunday, she started giving us the “house rules.” Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If Mom is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet (that means turn down the music

christmas vaction we don't have barley any breaks until spring break, and that is 3 months. First off one of the main reasons we should have year round school would be so we can remember all the information we learned in the previous year. When we have summer break, we don't always remember everything when we come back to school in August. I believe setting up the school calendar with a 45-15-day schedule will keep students on track from one grade to the next. The 45-15-day schedule is when you go

It truly was a culture shock in the beginning of my travels to Europe, but quickly learned to appreciate the differences and grasp a whole new meaning to the world we live in. Swedes do a lot of things different; how they greet each other, speak to strangers passing by, and even how and when they eat. These experiences in my life have helped me enjoy reading about Firoozeh’s

Imagine having school year round? What will be the attendance rates, grade point average, and test scores? What about family time? I think having school year round would decrease all of these things. My first main point is some statistics on having school year round. The dropout rates for year round school is 2% and for non-year round schools it is 5%. The percent increase in year round school implementations from 1987-2016 is 563%. The number of year-round schools in the U.S. is 3,253. The percent

Which is why I never expected my parents to ever help me out when it came to buying a car.

Whether it meant carpooling, working from home, or simply walking to where you needed to go, we always figured

times that my parents felt financially comfortable were only probably half of my teenage years. I am not saying that we were ever even below the poverty line.

My family in no way is opulent or living a luxurious life. But I believe that the lack of cash really molded me into who I am now. My family has
