Summer Plans - Your Story Pt.2

Students at Akins High School are ready for summer! The year has gone by extremely fast & is almost over. Summer plans are important. No one wants to be stuck at home while they can be exploring & having fun with family & friends.
From babysitting to sports, Akins students tell what their plans are for summer 2010.
“My plans for the summer involve playing softball. It occupies most of my time,” Freshman Amanda Alanis said.
Many students at Akins are athletic, but a lot of them also have responsibilities. These responsibilities include babysitting, cleaning the house, and some students have jobs.
“With all the brothers & sisters I have, I know I’m going to have to babysit,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Once those responsibilities are handled, it’s time for fun! Students enjoy going to many different places during the summer. When asked what their favorite water parks & theme parks were the answers were Schlitterbahn & Six Flags.
“I love the heat & being outdoors during the summer. There’s a lot to do like going to theme parks & water parks,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Although some people don’t like road trips because of the sitting involved, the activities to do once you get to your destination are always new & exciting.
“The best vacation spot is definitely South Padre Island. It’s so pretty,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Most of the time, students have no rides so they end up stuck at home until their parents can take them somewhere. How often do you stay at home?
“I’m only inside my house on weekdays because of my parents,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
