If you have an interest in music, use this summer vacation to learn how to play a musical instrument. Extra-curricular activities are always helpful, be it in school or outside. Your new talent will win you new friends and make you popular.
Support a Cause
Do charity or help out an orphanage. Spend some time with some underprivileged children. You can also share some of your toys and clothes and play with them. Get all your friends and spend a day at such a place.
