While winter break should be a time for fun, it can also be a time for completing at least some school work.
Since many teens are preparing to take the SAT and/or ACT, we should really devote some of our time during winter break to get prepared for these important exams.
Maybe every other day over break we can try to spend between 30-60 minutes brushing up on our academic skills.
For example, by picking random problems in a math textbook to solve or reading a challenging novel, we can easily keep our brains alive and our skills sharp.
This way, when sitting down to take the tests, and eventually applying to colleges and universities; we’ll think back to how much taking just a little bit of time every other day during Winter Break ’09 benefitted us.
Happy Holidays, Happy Studying & Enjoy Winter Break!
