Is Summer Break Necessary (1) Page 1 of 2 www.foridahoteachers.org

Returning to India, I am working at google in Bangalore. My parents live in the rookie and my father is a visiting researcher of the IIT rookie. They spend two months of summer vacation and one month of winter vacation every year. We will also meet special occasions like Diwali, Horley, and my son's birthday. We have seen it a couple of times a year, somehow, it gives me a feeling closer to them than I feel living in America. A few years ago, my father experienced several health problems requiring several months of treatment. In Bangalore, it is very convenient to take care of his medical needs while balancing work.
