MY FAVORITE SEASON (or Holiday)
3.5 Essay

There’s no doubt about it; my favorite season has just got to be summer. Summer is the time when I truly have personal freedom in my life. I can sleep as late as I like. I can go where I want to go, when I want to go, and finally, I can vacation when it suits me and my schedule.

To some people, being able to sleep when you want may not seem like such a big deal, but it is to me.

I don’t have to be restrained by my schedule since I don’t have one. I can make last minute plans if I want; I don’t have to make arrangements to have someone cover for me. And if I’m visiting family members, I can stay as long as I can stand them (and them me).
