Summer Vacation

It’s pretty much over and back to school. Time to get serious again and hit the books after most students enjoyed a break lapping up the sunshine, enjoying the beach, parks and well, all the great stuff of holidays. But not all students opted for a break from the books or a holiday. Some decided to study through the summer and others chose to undertake some very different vacations. These are a couple of their stories.

A Southeastern University student spent the 10 weeks of his vacation amongst the homeless, living on the streets with them. The wealthy Long Island native decided he wanted to see how the other half live. A desire that was born he said of a Christian ethos. Fortunately for him Southeastern chose to let him count the experience as an internship.

A group of ten high schools students decided to give up their summer vacation to work in Michigan State University labs in the Future Scientist Program. The program is designed to encourage kids into research careers by providing them with the experience and cutting edge facilities of a modern research organization. That is kinda cool. Although these kids had to put in 40 hours a week and attend seminars they were compensated $2000 each at the end of the program. That isn’t actually bad money for a high school student!

Meanwhile the vast majority did decide to take the opportunity to lax out and chill with their mates. Although stats show that the majority of Americans didn’t travel this year a lot of students still found the opportunity to read a good book, skull a cold beer or just hang out with friends a welcome one after a stressful year of work and study. Let’s hope it was enough to get everyone ready to step back into research and writing mode.
