Keep the Summer Vacation By Fiona Layton
Some schools are adopting year-round
schedules, but I believe that long summer
vacations are beneficial and necessary. First of
all, many students need to work during the
summer. Without several months to devote to
full-time work teens will be cheated of income
and work experience. Additionally, some
students need to retake courses in summer
school. If there is no time to catch up, those
students will fall further behind. Finally,
teachers deserve an extended break from school.
They might need to take classes themselves, to
stay up to date in their subject matter. Without
summer break, teachers don’t have a chance to
do this. In conclusion, there are important
reasons to keep a long summer vacation.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

Active transport, such as walking and
cycling, has been being slowly incorporated
in the planning of the transportation system
in recent years. The recent developments
have been a reversal of years of planning the
transportation network to the advantage of
the private automobile. Many studies have
found that promoting active modes of
transport has numerous benefits in social
cohesion (Hosseini et al., 2011), public
health, property and land price appreciation
(Carmona et al., 2017), and a modal shift
from private automobile for short distance
travel (Soni et al., 2016). This is aside from

is what I think of. I could either chose to go
down the tempting path- drink, do drugs, be a
low life, not do anything, or go down the path to
success. Where I went to high school, it would
be easy to choose the path of bad decisions but
because I was guided in a certain direction, I
chose to go down the path that wasn’t as
popular.

Frost then states at the end of his poem:

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”

Like Frost, I took the path less traveled

and it led to be a great student, athlete and
professional. I look back on what people I
graduated with are doing who took the other
path, and I can’t help but laugh at them. The
difference between me and them is uncanny.
And I would rather be where I am today then
where they are.
