After finals, students set out in an attempt to unwind from the semester. Traveling far and wide, seniors enjoy their last Christmas break and take the opportunity to grow closer to the people they will soon have to leave behind.
Over the hustle and bustle of getting back to school, the best stories of break often go untold.
Reporting on the best stories was a burden that someone had to undertake.
In the calm, quiet waters of the straights of Melaka, the Silverstein's band of buccaneers set sail early one morning. With the wind in their sails and break on their calendars, they headed off to Phuket for their family vacation. Despite all the thrill and adventure of their trip, they found that their favorite moments were a bit closer to home. Elizabeth Silverstein (12) said, “I really enjoyed working out with my dad each morning on the beach and having that time with him because I am really going to miss him when I go off to college.”
Elizabeth wasn’t the only one who had adventures over their break. Many students gathered their own terrific tales just a ten-minute drive away.
Hiking in Penang always provides a good time, and the break was the perfect opportunity for students to hit the trails with their friends for the last few times. Noah Brooks (12) said, “My favorite thing I did this break was traveling around the forest with my friends.”
Rumor has it a multi-day cross-Penang hike was being planned. The route was picked, and gear was packed. Until the very same Noah Brooks got “sick.” the plans were called off, and the rest of his break was spent coughing.
Students were able to reconnect with their peers on these hikes. Creating new memories. Savoring the time they have left before the great exodus of uni.
