Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.

Is summer break actually a break? Despite the oft-repeated consensus of the general public that, thanks to summer vacation, teachers have it easy, the fact remains that for many teachers, work never stops - summer is often filled with major projects, professional-development activities, preparation for the following school year, or even temporary jobs. Is pure relaxation possible, or is this extra work part of the job?
In an Edutopia online poll, 21 percent of voters said they spend summers relaxing and pursuing other interests; 28 percent participate in professional-development seminars, conferences, or classes; 5 percent work a second job; and 40 percent spend their summers in some combination of the rest, professional development, and other work. The remaining 6 percent work year-round without a summer break.
