Spring Break Has a Better Taste

By Carlos Xibelle
Spring Break from NMMI
After working hard in academics, the corps of cadets, and sports for three straight months, the cadets get a break to rest. During these three months, cadets work hard to improve day by day to become better in all areas. A time for rest must come. Spring Break is the time of the year when we go home and enjoy our family and vacations. Spring Break for cadets at NMMI has a better taste. Teachers from school tell cadets that they must work very hard in order to graduate. They must sacrifice their free time in order to read and research, yet when spring break comes they will enjoy it much more. After all my hard work we finally got to Spring Break. My vacation was great. I went to the beach and enjoyed my family and friends. Being at the Institute we sacrifice being away from home, parents, and friends. These sacrifices make us better people because not everybody is willing to sacrifice these things at an early age. When spring break comes, we get to enjoy it like nobody else. I like spending time with my family since I don’t get to see them too often. I like to have fun and enjoy everything I can before going back to the institute. When the time comes to go back, I will put in all the work I need to finish strong.
