After thinking about all this, I decided to run to the beach, sit under an umbrella, drink my orange juice and fulfil two wishes: cool down and get a bit of colour, which I haven't achieved yet. Just when I was ready to leave, a thought stopped me:

A great student you are! Instead of studying for tomorrow, you want to run around the beaches of Hersonissos. You'll probably see your schoolmates and when they ask if you studied what will you say. That you preferred the beach? Do you think that it's only you who needs to get out and relax a bit? I bet a lot of other kids have the same thoughts, but they sit home and hit the books."

I hesitated a trifle before I took the big step and came out from the house. Upon reaching the beach, I came face to face with an indescribable sight! All my friends and schoolmates were frolicking in the water and motioned me to join them! Some were playing racquets, and yet others were plunging in the sea. When I asked if they had studied no one answered me!

I wish everyone a good summer. Live it without any afterthoughts or guilt. Just have fun!
