Hudson Gray Week 3: Sunday Tie


 

    This past Sunday was the first NFL Sunday of the season. I was so excited for this day ever since the colts lost their last game, last season. The Indianapolis Colts have always been my favorite team because my dad grew up in Indiana and his whole side of the family lives there. The Colts have had ups and downs but they are known for being consistent. The way last season ended was definitely a heart breaker because if you watch football you know the Colts lost to the worst team in the league to miss the playoffs. Being a fan of the Colts has been a roller coaster the past couple of years. This is especially because they have had five different quarterbacks in the last five seasons. In almost all circumstances, you need a great quarterback to have a successful season. This past offseason the Colts acquired Matt Ryan who is a former MVP. This is one of the reasons I’m so excited for this season. However, after playing one of the worst teams in the NFL yesterday, the Colts managed to almost lose and the game ended in a tie. The game started off going well for the Colts but the 2nd and 3rd quarter were brutal to watch. It hurt to watch when Matt Ryan threw an interception and fumbled the ball. However, the Colts turned it around in the 4th quarter and ended up tying the game forcing it to go into overtime. In overtime, the Colts kicker missed a field goal to win the game. This was so hard to watch and it frustrated me a lot since it wasn’t a far field goal. After the game I had to look at the bright side in that they didn’t lose. The Colts are now tied for the lead in the division so in the end, it wasn’t that bad. Who are your favorite football teams or sports teams?

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
