What is your favorite season? All of the seasons have many advantages; however, summer is my favorite season. I love going to the beach because I find it very peaceful. I am also able to do outdoor sports. I love the excitement I feel from playing sports outside. At the beach, I love to look out at the Pacific Ocean, constantly looking for dolphins or pelicans. Being part of something larger than myself gives me a sense of admiration and thankfulness. Second, in the summertime, I have the chance to go swimming, paddle boarding, and walking in the tidepools along the shore. The exercise makes me feel great and optimistic.

What does summertime provide the author the chance to do?
