Kelly I loved the angle you took with this piece. I'm 20 years old, and I found this really empowering. I feel like every teenager should be reading this.

Also loved what you did with this phrase - "Are your parents wondering :nagging: about what you are planning to do during your summer break?"

Try excerpts from this wonderful essay if you are looking for other reasons to advocate for "productive free time". (If that is not already an industry term, I would be looking to trademark it!)
