My hobbies after school
The hobbies that I do after school is like any other teen, hang out and visit my friends, ride around with snowmachines, play football during the evenings, sometimes play video games, going out hunting and setting snares, of course playing basketball, gotta love it, helping out at home, playing pool at the pool hall that was recently opened, and spending time at home with family. And what I call the real after school, when it is actually over for summer break, my hobbies are, I go out on boat rides, to rod 'N' reel, going out swimming at the sandbar, and fishing. And the other things "in between" I play basketball at the basketball court, which is right outside our school, and right outside of my house. Well this is all that I can think of for now. Have a nice day! Donald_F_at_Marshall_AK

My favorite things to do when i am out of school is hang out with my friends, snowboard sometimes, or play video games with my cousins. My favorite food is eskimo ice cream (akutak), spaghettii, pizza, and home made bread. In the summer time i like to go swimming at the sandbar, ride bikes with my friends, go play lap games; lap games is like baseball, go to dark dances, sometimes stay out a little after my curfew, and splash my cousins with a pitcher full of water. thats is pretty much me on what i like to do most my time when i am out of school.

Modes of transportation (how I get from place to place)
My modes of transportation living as a teen in New York City is usually just by city transportation. I live near my school so I don't have to take any modes of transportations but since I can't drive, I tend to use the bus or the train to get where I want to which has a distance from my home. There are a lot of ways to transport from one place to another such as the train, bus, ferry, tram (which moves on a cable above water), carpools, etc. Transportation in the city is sometimes wierd because you tend to encounter wierd people, mostly on the trains, especially when you take the train early in the morning. -Hava L at ERHS, NYC

What I do (or have done) in the summer
During the summertime I go to Fire Island. Fire island is fun place where families go to spend time together. Sometimes I go to fireisland with a few friends and we stay in my house for a week or two. I used to live there, so I kno a lot of people. I usually go to the beach for most of my day and go in my friends pool. My friend who lives in florida goes to Fire Island every summer so it's also a chance for me to see her. I love going to fire island because my mom gives me a lot of freedom and I get a great tan! -Jenna F at ERHS, NYC

During the summertime I sometimes go to sandbar to go swimming, stay out as long as I want, and ride around with a four wheeler. Sandbar is a fun place to go in the summertime. The sandbar is located across the village. People go there when they have nothing to do or go there for the fun of it. I could stay out late because there is no school for three months. Now on four wheeler i could go anywhere in our village. Have you ever seen a snow machine? Think of a snow machine with out a wind shield and shorter front with wheels and gears on the handle bars or by your feet. It's quite fun to ride in the summer time because you don't stuck in the ice, unlike winter and late fall. That is what I like about summertime. Adrian S at MHS, AK
