I had a job on weekends which required me to miss out on the best summer events. Such as parties and cookouts. Working for 12 or more hours a day made it worst knowing that everyone else is relaxing while I was landscaping. I went to California to visit my aunt in San Francisco. It was good to visit her and my 1 year old cousin in a city completely different from what I'm  used to. Working on weekends was bad enough. But going to a SAT class during the week that barely taught me anything was a big waste of my summer vacation.
