What types of things do American teenage students do during the long summer break?
EDIT: For clarification, most American schools have July and August off, but my school has June off, too. My break is roughly June 8th to September 6th.Go on trips with friends.For the entire last week of school in early June, I'll be on a school trip to the Berkshires with a quarter of my grade, or about 25 kids. We'll be going to an adventure park, seeing a Shakespeare show, going hiking, and going to art museums.Do our favorite activities!That school trip will be my only excitement in June. For the rest of the month, you will probably be able to find me swimming in my pool, gardening, reading in a hammock, creating messy art in my yard, and writing.Go to academic programs, especially as we near college.I'll be going to a three week long academic program at a college a few hours away. There, I'll be taking a law class, an engineering class, a 2D and 3D art class, and some time travel conspiracy/science-y wormhole class. More reading!Go to a sleepaway camp.When I was younger, I would go to a sleepaway camp, and teenagers sometimes go to the same camp for years. Those in a different financial situation might send their kids to a local day camp or programs at a community center.Go on a family vacation.After that, I have a few weeks of free time, which I'll probably spend the same way I spent my time in June. In early August, I'm then going to Israel with my family for two weeks. Most of my friends also go on vacation in August, either visiting family abroad or going to California or Florida for fun.Take hobby-oriented classes.Sometimes, when I'm bored at the end of the summer, I'll take a week long art class or tennis camp for fun. Last year, I took a five day pen and ink illustration camp, and now most of my art style revolves around what I learned there.Get a job.While I personally am not, many teenagers have jobs in the summer, sometimes as an intern, as a camp counselor working at a local ice cream shop, or as a lifeguard at a community pool.If you couldn't tell, I'm super excited for my entire summer. Ah, I only have three weeks to go!For my entire life, I've had a similar summer—resting in June, an outdoors camp or academic program in July, and a vacation in August.No matter what, American teens spend their summers doing what we love to do. I love to write, I love to learn, and I love to travel, and summer is the perfect time to do all three. I'm hyped!
Why doesn't my brake pedal return after I press it?
I would check (or have a mechanic check) the brakes in this order:Brake fluid level. If you have a leak and the reservoir is nearly empty, that needs to be fixed. Find and fix the leak and refill the reservoir to the correct level. You then need to bleed the brakes (next step).Bleed the brakes. If any air has gotten into the brake lines, you have to get it out. If you don't know how to do this, it is probably best to get a mechanic.Brake calipers and cylinders. Make sure the calipers are all moving OK and not having issues.Master cylinder. If you still have problems, it is likely the master cylinder. Either a blown seal or a broken spring. After rebuilding or replacing the master cylinder you will have to bleed the brakes again.In my experience, if the brake system isn't leaking, the most likely problem is the master cylinder. I have it last because it is expensive to replace. Rebuilding isn't too expensive, but many mechanics prefer to just replace it.
