I had two summers after highschool. You ask how that was possible?
Schoolyear in the Philippines runs from June to March. I graduated highschool end of March then enjoyed my summer in the Philippines from April to May. My sister and I moved here right on my birthday, June 1st. Summer here in the US just started when we moved. My fall semester at IUPUI did not start until mid-August. So I had a second summer in Indiana that year!
It was great doing pretty much *nothing studying-wise for 4 months. No school, no homework. We traveled that summer. We went to King's Island in Cincinnati. We went to see Niagara Falls, Canadian side. I learned how to drive. I passed my driving test a week before starting college.
The 4 months of a slow-pace living were needed because of all the transitions. Culture change, weather change (not during those 4 months but pretty soon when winter came), getting acclimated to a new country, fully speaking my second language all the time.
It helped that I was young and "pliable." I see how harder it was for my dad and grandma who moved here later. Children and even young adults like me adapt much better to culture change. I did not have a choice either. I was driven to get into medical school. I wanted to succeed in college. I made friends. I adapted to the bigger school after having studied in a small parochial school then academy for high school.
Moving here right in the summer helped with homesickness. There's lots of sunlight. I enjoyed the long days and sunsets at 9pm. My mom, sister and I frequented Target and K-mart shopping accessories and clothes.
It was a fun summer.
