Most people love sunny, instead of rainy, days largely because sunshine can often make us feel cheerful and a gloomy sky usually depresses us. As a matter of fact, all forms of life need both sun and rain, but any excess of the two can bring trouble or even disasters to the world. Thus if there is anyone who complains of the excessive rainfall in this winter, his complaint is understandable. Anyway, how many people can bear to see the world darkened and dampened because of the rain almost every day? The continual rain is really boring, but I find that in addition to sunshine there are lots of things which can make me cheerful too. So, if the Goddess of Rain doesn't feel like stopping crying, the best thing we can do is let an invisible sun shine in our hearts. Furthermore, many signs show that this rainiest winter will soon be gone and spring will shortly be in sight.

Forgotten childrens classics make for good summer reads
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN’S CLASSICS MAKE FOR GOOD SUMMER READS Summer reading is my favorite kind of reading, a time when books exist solely for enjoyment, for transporting ourselves from the breezy heat of the old porch swing, or from the rainy day window seat framed by flowery drapes, into another land or time period. Even better when it can be shared with children who, but for a good book, are quick to pronounce their boredom with the slower pace of life this time of year. I have rediscovered two books, decades-old classics, that I’m sure may be new to many children and adults alike. And even if there’s not a child in your immediate vicinity, I find these two stories to be so impactful and memorable as to be enjoyed by any age. The first one is “Across Five Aprils” by Irene Hunt, published in 1964. It is a coming-of-age story set during the Civil War. It follows the wartime experiences of Midwestern farm boy Jethro Creighton.

An article about the various summer programs available to students in Virginia Public Schools was written recently. The school system is to be commended for recognizing the needs of its students and implementing programs that will best serve their needs. But how does a summer program truly meet the needs of the students? Well, the most obvious is that a good summer program keeps the kids of Virginia Schools off the streets and involved in something beneficial. Virginia Sch...

Why Summer School is a Great Idea
After working through a long, hard spring semester, you’re probably looking forward to having a few months off for relaxation. Taking a break for the summer is smart if you need it, but for some students, summer school is a wiser choice. Summer school can help you fit essential classes into your schedule while offering accelerated learning.

You can catch up on needed credits. Depending on your school’s summer offerings, you can rack up a few classes over the summer. This can help you to graduate on time and squeeze in courses that you might not be able to take during the fall and spring semesters. Summer school is an excellent option for lightening your load during the regular school year-you can take fewer courses at a time to better focus on what you’re working on. Spacing your workload out can make a world of difference and help you avoid burnout.

Let’s Read, Seminole! is a summer reading program that Orlando Public Schools got behind this summer. The Orlando Schools took a bus, painted it red, ripped the seats out and installed book shelves. The bus was then crammed with books for kids ages 5 to 18. Orlando Schools students can keep the books they take off the bus, or they can bring them back and get more. What an awesome program! When I look back at summer vacations, I find that I was mostly bored. My best friend’...

Scheduling a College Admissions Interview? Check the Weather First
Just when you thought you had taken everything into account in the college admissions process, it turns out there is one thing you may not have considered: the weather. According to TheBookofOdds.com , students’ admissions interviews can be either adversely or positively affected depending by the weather outside. A study by researchers at the University of Toronto found that medical school applicants who interviewed on sunny days did better than their rainy day counterparts. Specifically, those who interviewed on rainy days received a 1 percent lower score than those who interviewed on sunny days. While the difference was modest, the authors of the study point out that “such small differences can be important in some cases because each year there about 100 candidates who receive a score within 1 percent of the admission threshold.”

To read “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and to watch the film based on this book is definitely not the same. It happens sometimes that you read a book and you like it, but when you watch a film based on this book, you consider it to be a complete disaster. Sometimes it is vise versa. It depends. I think you have watched the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Comparative Essay- Guidelines
Comparative essays are written to compare and correctly analyse similar and dissimilar characteristics of any two given objects. The writer may be asked to discuss for or against a certain given point while comparing two objects, or may be asked to ‘compare’ two books, places, objects or people. Just make sure that you choose two themes that are related and therefore can be compared, in the essay.
