Winter

1) Wake up early. Nothing eats away the Winter break like moping around beneath the covers. Decide the previous day when you will get out of bed and make sure to follow through.
During the first few days of vacation, chances are that you will relish the opportunity to sleep in. It's okay to do this and give yourself a break, because your body will naturally put itself on a schedule to wake itself up earlier.
2) Maintain good health and hygiene. Brush your teeth and bathe often. Make sure to use sunblock even in the cold and remember that the only healthy tan is spray-on! Winter is a great time to get in shape, or to stay in shape. Consider joining a sport, or, at the very least, get outside and have fun everyday.
3)Study. Particularly if you are a high school student, studying remains essential even through the school year is in short recess. Loom over last year's notes, or do some research what next years courses have in store, When school resumes, you'll be grateful that your academic knowledge and skills have not deteriorated, you'll be ready and not panicked that you don't know something. Most of you already know if you have homework, reading or other research, stay on top of it. You will be grateful when you return to school! Keep your brain active. Read for school or pleasure, research your own interests, or even just get into crosswords puzzles.
4) Follow a routine. However loose, the structure will both motivate you and keep hours spent "doing nothing" to a minimum. Don't play to many video games and even if it might be cold go out for a few hours every week.
5) Join or volunteer group or some sort. All communities have some sort of soup kitchen, or place where someone might need your help or you can start by
6)Start a summer job.
7) Go a camp and learn something new.
8) Stay active in you society

6) "To educate a man in mind but not morals is to educate a menace to society" (Theodore Roosevelt)
Teaching no morals will create a revolution because he know what is right and wrong from the past t create a future, you don't need morals to be successful you need a solid foundation and a clear concept of what you choose to do. Not having morals doesn't make you a menace it makes you human. Most people don't have morals yes it would be okay to be taught morals but you need to see how to use your mind and have your morals on the side. You can't include your moral because you need to do something for everyone not just yourself.
