From the Outside

   

This morning I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping, the sun streaming through my window. Naturally my first thought was, "Oh No, I'm late for school!" And then something occurred to me that brought a smile to my face; it's summertime!  The 2011-12 school year has finally come to end.
     I have to admit, I'm not exactly proud of this year's accomplishments. I find it hard to believe that anyone would be proud of  narrowly escaping the last grading quarter with a "B" average! Thankfully we have this summer to collect our thoughts and find a new approach. I use "we" because I'm positive that I'm not the only one who would do this year differently.
    Summer is a time for big plans, and for great adventures. However none of these things will happen if people stay cooped up in their homes all day! That is why Oz and Neverland would like to promote a new campaign, From the Outside!

                    Go outside for an hour a day, that's all I ask! The mission is to flip things around so that the outside is in. What I mean is that we need to take the old phrase "from the out side looking in," and change the meaning so that we are on the outside, glancing in (looking might be creepy), but instead of jealousy, we feel sorry for those on the inside because they aren't experiencing the outside!
      It doesn't matter what you do as long as you step out, let the adventure find you. Whatever you do, don't forget to pass it on! Share your experience, because it is likely that someone else needs to experience the great outdoors just as bad as you did!
