<p>I am a freshman and am looking for ideas on what to do over summer. My school doesn't offer any summer program. My parents are suggesting things like taking a summer math or biology class for credit at another high school that has summer program or volunteering with Putney Student travel, etc. I am not sure I want to do any of that. What did you do at the end of 9th grade? Thanks.</p>
<p>My whole summer after 9th grade:</p>
<p>-Helping out with Vacation Bible School at my church
-Mission trip with my youth group
-AP summer work
-Chilling</p>
<p>I had surgery the summer after 9th grade. Summer after 10th, I did college tours. And the summer after 11th I did Summer@Brown, volunteer work, AP summer work, and an online class.</p>
<p>Oh, and I also did a finance class online (graduation requirement…I did it over the summer ;))</p>
<p>I worked part time, volunteered and an art intensive.</p>
<p>Volunteered for Safety Town, went on a lot of bike rides, and volunteered at the library.</p>
<p>I worked as a CIT at a local day camp, which I honestly thought was more rewarding than going to a summer program.</p>
<p>Summer after 9th I went on a two week outdoor Ed program in Wyoming then spent 3 weeks living in Tokyo, and working full time during the other 3 weeks of the summer.Then after 10th I basically worked full time in retail, went to the beach, chilled. Then we went to Copenhagen for 2 weeks. Not too sure what I want to do Next summer yet though, i really want to try waitressing/hostessing. I live in a seasonal tourist town (similar to marthas vineyard and cape cod) so theres always summer jobs available. I’ve heard really good things about summer@brown thoughand a few of my friends have gone to specialized programs at Stanford, uchiccago etc for things like medicine or law.</p>
<p>9th: 3 week musical theatre camp
10th: National Student Leadership Conference for U.S. Policy & Politics
11th: Girls State, Young Democrats of America High School Leadership Academy, Girls Nation
12th: I don’t know, I’ll audition for a community musical, maybe find a summer job. Mostly I’ll be relaxing/partying/vacationing before get ready to go to college.</p>
<p>I wish I could redo my past summers. I spent them all playing video games.</p>
<p>^ No shame, I just sat around and listened to music all day. But I did have a veterinary internship for two months last summer though.</p>
<p>9th
Summer program at RPI
10th
College Pre Calc
I’m hoping to go abroad this summer</p>
<p>Summer after 9th I worked all summer. Summer after 10th I did research in a biomedical engineering lab. Same thing for summer after 11th</p>
<p>Summer at RPI… What was it like? Which program did you take? Did you find it useful? How was staying on campus there? Thanks.</p>
<p>This summer I’m probably going to go visit England again (family there) and I might take a trip up to like the Scottish Highlands, inspired by Skyfall.</p>
<p>Fantastical destinations include India with a friend because we’re graduating or other places in Europe.</p>
