At dinner one night, Jeff’s parents gave him the good news. “We’re taking a week-long vacation at the beach,” his dad said. Jeff was very excited. He liked swimming and snorkeling and the family hadn’t been to the beach in a while. He immediately started making plans. “When are we leaving?” he wanted to know. “We’ll be leaving August 10th,” his mom answered. August 10th was eight weeks away; it seemed more like forever. Jeff couldn’t imagine waiting that long, but then he realized something. Eight weeks would give him enough time to save up money to take with him on the trip, and that was a good thing. Jeff decided to be patient and make the most of the time he had—he would find a summer job.
