Once school ends in June, everyone has plans for summer; weather it is getting a job or hanging out with friends it is having that freedom that makes everything worth it. The summer for me was busier than it has been in the past few years. This past July I was busy volunteering for different things, such as the St. John’s lawn fete or helping out as a teacher for the St. John’s Vacation Bible School. It was a great opportunity and I was very thankful they asked me to be responsible for twenty-four kids. But on the other hand, it was very over whelming, to be in charge of that many kids single-handily. I was very fortunate that they were self-efficient. I also volunteered at the Lancaster Presbyterian Church with my grandparents and little cousins. But this time I was helping out with three and four year olds. If I had to pick one thing that was the greatest summer memory it would have to be my very own private Fourth of July party. One of our closest family friends loves to work with fireworks and puts on a private show including, steel wool. Now I understand that most people don’t know what steel wool is. But the best way I can explain it is by thinking of it as a massive sparkler (to the right). It is the craziest thing I have ever seen in my whole entire life. And now that I have seen it, no other Fourth of July firework show could ever compete.
Over all I had a wonderful summer, it was filled with lots of laughs and life long memories. My only regret wasn’t being able to have some time to relax. But I loved every minute of it and I wouldn’t change a thing.
