Dad says that when he was growing up, in the summer time kids played outside all day, until they got called home for dinner at night.

Well, that's pretty much the opposite of the way my summer went this year.
I spent July and August at Film Camp, where all I did was watch movies in an air-conditioned theater for eight hours a day.The main reason I signed up for Film Camp was because I thought it was for people who are serious about movies, like me.
But I found out it was really just a place where parents could dump their kids off for some cheap babysitting.
The downside of spending that much time in a dark theater is that at the end of the day it took a half hour for my eyes to adjust to the sunlight.
The other reason I signed up for Film Camp was to get out of the house. Even since we go a pet pig, it has'nt been a lot of fun being home. Especially not at dinner.

For the record, I think it's a terrible idea letting the pig eat at the table, because it already thinks it's a human being. And the last thing we need is for it to think it's on equal footing with the rest of us.
Right after we got the pig, Mom thought it would be fun to teach it some tricks. So she would give the pig a cookie when it stands on its hind legs.
But the pig learned to walk like this, and it has'nt been on all fours ever since. To make matteres worse, my little brother, Manny put a pair of his shirts on the pig, so now it's like we're living in the house with a Disney character.

Mom used to take the pig outside, but after it started walking upright, it decided it was too good for its leash. Mom was worried that if the pig ran off, we'd never find it, so she got a collar with one of these GPS tracking chips in it.
But every time Mom pu the collar on the pig, within five minutes it would be back off. And don't even ask me how the pig did that, since pigs don't have even thumbs.
So now the pig comes and goes as it pleases, and who knows where it spends its time. What really stinks is that I have a curfew but the pig doesn't.
I think giving the pig too many privileges is a really bad idea. One day pigs will rule the world, and it'll be my familiy's fault for starting it all.
I wouldn't have an issue with the pig if it didn't interfere with my life. But I was late at the first day of school because it was hogging the bathroom.

With the pig in the house, I was actually looking forward to school starting. But once I got there, I realized it was just the same old thing.
And to be honest with you, I feel like I've been in middle school forever.

I needed to mix things up a little or I was gonna go crazy. So in the first week of school, I volunteered for the Homework Buddies program.
[picture] Be a buddy!
Team up with an elementary school kid to lend a hand. Sign up for homework buddies today!
But the main reason I signed up was so I could skip third period, which is Music class with Mrs. Graziano.
To give you an idea of how long Mrs. Graziano has been the music teacher, Dad had her when he was my age.
And apprently spending thirty years teaching middle schoolers how to play musical instruments does something to a person.
Last week I met my Homework Buddy, this kid named Frew. I have no idea why he even signed up for the program, though, because he's one of those people who reads scientific journals and college textbooks for fun.
The first time we got together, Frew showed me his homework, which was some coloring and a word find. Frew said he didn't need any help, and then he asked to see my homework.
I had a least an hour of Malth problems and a Geography assignment that wouldn't taken me another two hours, but Frew whipped through all of it about fifteen minutes.
And he wasn't just fast, he was good. I turned in the assignments the next day, and when I got them back from my teachers, I had perfect scores.
At first I felt a little bad about getting help from a third grader. But then I realized that Homework buddies are supposed to help each other out.
So now whenever me and Frew get together, I just hand him a pile of assignments and let him go his thing. The way I see it, this is working out for everyone.
My only complaint about Frew is that sometimes he's too helpful. He's been getting bored with my homework, so he started making up assignments to challenge himself.
The other day he wrote a paper and attached it to my regular homework fro extra credit. But luckily I checked it over before handing it in.

For a while I was just glad to be getting some homework help. But recently I've been thinking that since I'm the one who "discovered" Frew, I deserve some kind of credit if he goes on to do big things.
1)요약해보기
I think about how different my summer was compared to my dad's childhood, when kids played outside all day. Instead, I spent July and August at Film Camp, where I watched movies for eight hours a day. I thought the camp would be serious about films, but it turned out to be a place for parents to drop off their kids.
At home, things got crazy after we got a pet pig that acts like a human. The pig learned to walk on two legs and thinks it's special, making life harder for me, especially when I was late for school because the pig was in the bathroom.
I was excited for school to start, so I signed up for the Homework Buddies program mainly to skip music class. I met a smart elementary student named Frew, who helped me with my homework. At first, I felt a bit bad for getting help from a younger kid, but then I realized we were supposed to help each other. Now, I just give Frew my assignments, and he finishes them quickly.
I like getting help from Frew, but sometimes he goes too far by making up extra work for himself. Lately, I’ve been thinking that if Frew becomes successful, I should get some credit for discovering him.
2)두번째 요약
I reflect on how my summer experience starkly contrasts with my father's childhood, where kids played outside all day. Instead, I spent July and August at Film Camp, where I primarily watched movies for eight hours a day. I initially expected the camp to be focused on serious filmmaking, but it turned out to be more of a place for parents to drop off their kids.
At home, the situation became increasingly chaotic after my family adopted a pet pig that behaves like a human. The pig learned to walk on two legs and has become quite spoiled, complicating daily life for me, especially when I was late for school because the pig monopolized the bathroom.
Eager for the school year to begin, I signed up for the Homework Buddies program, mainly to avoid music class. I was paired with a bright elementary student named Frew, who helped me with my homework. Although I initially felt guilty about relying on a younger student, I soon recognized that the program was about mutual assistance. I now often hand over my assignments to Frew, who completes them quickly.
While I appreciate Frew's help, I sometimes feel that he goes too far by creating extra work for himself. Recently, I’ve been considering that if Frew achieves great things in the future, I should receive some acknowledgment for introducing him to the program.
3)세번째 요약
I contrast my summer experience with that of my father's childhood, where outdoor play was the norm. Instead, I spent July and August at Film Camp, a program that primarily involved watching movies for eight hours each day. Initially drawn by the expectation of a serious focus on filmmaking, I soon realized it functioned more as a childcare service for parents.
At home, life became increasingly chaotic after my family adopted a pet pig that exhibits human-like behaviors. The pig, having learned to walk on two legs, has become spoiled, complicating daily routines, particularly when it monopolized the bathroom, causing me to be late for school.
Looking forward to the school year, I enrolled in the Homework Buddies program mainly to avoid attending music class. I was paired with an exceptionally bright elementary student named Frew, who offered substantial help with my homework. Initially feeling guilty about depending on a younger student, I recognized the program's purpose of mutual assistance. I now frequently delegate my assignments to Frew, who completes them with impressive speed.
While I value Frew's assistance, I occasionally feel that he overextends himself by creating additional assignments. Recently, I have considered that if Frew achieves significant success in the future, I should receive some recognition for introducing him to the program.
