I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about
every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could
not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school
education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance
examinations.
Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to
make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school
and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this.
At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought
it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on
endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like
anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was
not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope. |
