Ben from Indiana
I really enjoy football in the snow. Nothing beats tackling your friend into a huge snow bank.

Sohail from Missouri
Definitely snowball fights. Once, one of our tournaments was snowed out and our entire squad went sledding and we had a huge snowball fight...a great way to boost team morale.

Kate from Idaho
I’m not much of an out-doorsy person, but I love the snow. I love to sit on my couch near my fire with a hot steaming mug of hot cocoa overflowing with marshmallows and whipped cream. And I love watching the snow fall lightly to the earth as I do this.

Tatianna from Colorado
Saturdays that end up to be snow days because a meet was cancelled; how many other high school students can claim that?

Rebecca from Ohio
My favorite winter activity is by far, SPEECH. This is my first year being involved with my high school speech team, and I absolutely love it! I even gave up the swim team so that I could be involved with the amazing PERRYSPEECHTEAM. I would give up anything so that I could stay on the speech team.

Justin from South Dakota
Having my dog pull me down an ice-coated highway on a sled.

Angela from Colorado
The best thing my team does in winter is sing “Happy Birthday” to our coach at every meet and making her dance with the Red Robin bird when taking her out to eat.

Andrew from Kansas
Wrestling, because it involves your total raw strength of your body, and it is you against one other person. It is a true battle...both physically and mentally.

Fritz from California
My favorite winter activity is piecing together cases and arguments for policy debate. I am participating at an upcoming tournament at Arizona State University. I hope all this work pays off and my partner and I do well!

Paige from Georgia
Snow boarding...It is exciting and really fun!

Myles from Alaska
My favorite winter activity would have to be driving my snowmachine.

Heather from New York
My favorite winter activity is spending time with my family because during the winter all of our lives slow down a little bit for the sole purpose to spend time with each other.

Porsche from Montana
Speech and Debate is my favorite winter activity because there is a healthy sense of competition, and all the while, I am preparing myself for the real world by honing my speaking skills. In addition, I’m really good at it.

Alyssa from Ohio
Sleeping. Call it lazy, but it really is my favorite thing to do during the winter. It’s helpful for me because I don’t sleep much and midterms are right in the middle of winter, so sleeping is always refreshing and it restores my energy.

Blythe from Texas
Photographing foliage - I think it’s awesome to record the color of the leaves throughout the season and to play with shading and light effects. The colors are always brilliant, because here our winter is more like the autumn of most northern states.

Milind from Oregon
Snow - I love the SNOW. I like hot tea and BINGO on Tuesdays as well. Combine the two and you have one great fun time!

Gary from Wisconsin
My favorite winter activity is basketball. I love the way the game is played, it takes skill and hard working practice, and also is one of a few ways to exercise in the winter. One big important fact is that it’s indoors, with your friends all having a good time. That’s why my favorite winter activity is basketball (the best sport ever)!

Cylan from Missouri
My favorite winter activity is Secret Santa. I like it because I love to give a gift to someone who does not expect it from me. I also get to think about who is going to give me MY gift. Even people who don’t celebrate Christmas can participate in the fun.

Stephen from Colorado
Skiing, my father was training for the Olympic team. I reside in Colorado and we have season passes to skiing.

Ariel from Kansas
My favorite activity in forensics is Public Forum Debate. It lets young people debate real issues that affect the society they are very much apart of. Debaters can speak their minds in an organized way without worrying about “debate theory” that so much emphasis is placed on in Policy Debate.

Nathan from Pennslyvania
My favorite winter activity is sledding. This is because whenever we get our first snowfall, my family and some members of my team get together and go sledding or snow tubing.

Louis from Alabama
Favorite winter activity, hanging out with friends at the mall drinking hot chocolate from the coffee shop. Why, because it’s cold outside so I can go inside with friends and we can all just have fun inside.
