As the school year ends and summer begins, many parents and teachers worry about the “summer slide.” To combat this learning loss, many districts are focusing on providing additional summer learning opportunities for students. For #WIWTK, I spoke with Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, to discuss whether summer learning programs can combat the summer slide.

I once miserably lost a debate competition in high school! Fast-forward, I was supposed to represent my school again in an Independence History quiz competition. Honestly, I feared. Well, I really had doubts about my capability to take this on. I couldn't afford to lose for the second time. My teachers had trust in me, but there was no way I was going to put myself out there for another embarrassment. But then something dawned on me one day. I realized that yesterday's experiences can never dictate the outcome of today and tomorrow. So well, why not prepare adequately this time and give this a final shot? I gave myself time. Studied way beyond my normal study hours. I was going to lead the team, so I needed to be a solid pillar. This was my last chance to rewrite my quiz story too. The day came, and God! My team and I crushed the schools totally. There were 5 schools in the competition. Interestingly, the school that I lost the debate to was part of it, so I felt so good with my revenge. In the final round, I alone answered 3 out of 4 riddles, with two of them getting answered on the first clues. The quiz master was just looking at me and nodding. After everything, we had 59 points and the second school had 25 points. There was no way I could rewrite my history better! I really learned that day that the future has more prospects than the past, and it's trying again that graces us with the opportunity of winning. They say winners don't quit, and quitters don't win, and yes, I kowtow to that. You can't be unlucky everyday. Try again and #justBELIEVE! #BelievingIsEnough #justdoit
