- Students who passed their academic learning during the school year may not want to attend Summer School. Should they stay at home and relax?
- No, statistics prove that students must engage in learning over the summer break by reading, writing, solving mathematical problems, exercising, and working.
Students should attend a summer preparatory school like the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Pre-College or Gear Up Program, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Pre-College Program, or Marquette University Pre-College Program.
Students active in these summer programs tend to receive more scholarships after graduating from high school. Most students receive free summer tuition based on their parentś income.
Students attend for six weeks; some programs last for a week or two. Keep the student in activities. Some students can enroll in Girl Scouts if they like being outdoors, camping, cooking on the firewood, learning archery, and crafts and games.
Boys may attend Basketball or Baseball Camps or Cub Scouts.
For boys or girls, the Milwaukee School of Recreation has hundreds of sports that a younger or adult may engage in for summer fun, whether it is cooking, martial arts, playing the piano, learning a language, or working on art projects.
Some pre-college programs are free and based on their parenttś income. Milwaukee Recreation Department Milwaukee Recreation Programs are inexpensive and last a few hours a week.
Every person is different. Different interests, desires, goals, and styles. In Full Sail library, Literary Reference Center • Copyright © 2010 • EBSCO Publishing Inc. • All Rights Reserved • Page 3
Literary Reference Center | EBSCO Author Archie Randolph Ammons’s style is different. Ammons, born outside of Whiteville, North Carolina, on February 18th, 1926, was a member of the Navy in the 1940ś serving in World War II (Sep 1, 1939 – Sep 2, 1945)
and also simultaneously mastering poetry the same time. After World War II, he earned a Biology degree and later an English degree. His love for nature was enduring, symbolic, and captivating in his writing style. According to Literary Reference Center | EBSCO,
̈Ammons is renowned for his singular use of punctuation, avoidance of the period, and liberal use of the colon, which perhaps is his trademark (Lehman, par. 6). His use of enjambment – or run-on lines – can correspond with a continual, ongoing celebration of life in all its myriad forms.̈
Every student is shaped differently with thoughts, ideas, imaginations, abilities, and growth. Each student is different emotionally, physically, socially, and economically. There are rewards to be different. Ammon’s difference gained popularity.
Ammon’s literary writing rewarded him with a National Book Award in 1993 and the Library of Congress’s Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry (Ellis). His writing was never unnoticed. In 1998, he received The Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, other prestigious awards from the Poetry Society of America’s Robert Frost Medal, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation.
̈
¨In Garbage, for instance, Ammons is inspired by the
sight of a Florida landfill, and he is surprised how even the natural
process of decay can be inextricably coupled with renewal.̈
Renewal is a process for every student, whether a freshman, sophomore, junior, or Senior. These programs can help shape the student into a ̈renewal̈. The student’s name can be written in history when the renewal process is enrolled, like the late Archie Randolph Ammons, who died in Ithaca, New York, on February 25th, 2001; his memory still lingers on through his unequivocal writings.
Ammons’s best-known poems include “Corson’s Inlet.”
(Collected Poems 1951-1971), A variety of line lengths
are used to mimic different aspects of nature. “Easter
Morning” (A Coast of Trees) ingeniously combines the theme of loss with a vision of abundance.
