Hudson Gray Week 5 - My First Job

     






My First Job

    A couple months ago after my friend got his license, he started a job as a delivery driver for an Italian restaurant in East Boca. I thought this was very cool and it made me wonder if I could do the same thing when I got my license. Last year, I already had interest in finding a job, so I inquired about any openings at my golf club. Unfortunately, they told me to email back in October. Before I had a chance to get in touch with them again, my friend texted me to see if I might be able to assist the restaurant by serving as a delivery driver. Since this would be my first job and I knew my friend did well, it was really exciting for me. I replied to him right away and said I would be happy to do it. The next night, I trained with him and he taught me how to do everything, although the job is pretty much as easy as it sounds. I have now worked four times on my own and I enjoy it a lot. The restaurant has a positive environment and is frequently busy, especially as the season changes. I work on Mondays, Fridays, and occasionally Saturdays. As you can expect, Fridays and Saturdays are much busier than Mondays. This past Saturday I had four deliveries which was good because most of them were nearby. Unfortunately, I had no deliveries tonight compared to the two I had last Monday. Overall, I've really enjoyed this new experience so far and I'm thrilled for it to continue. Do any of you guys have jobs?

    I like working too. It feels good when I make my own money (even if it's minimum wage).

    Oh, woah, that sounds like a really cool job! I just recently got a second job, working as a busser at a deli in Boca called Ben's. I originally had a job at Walgreens, and I worked there for almost a year. (I like working-)

    I would love to have a job like this just as a side-hustle, sounds like you're loving it! It's always great to have working experience in high-school just to get a taste of what life will be once we get our degrees and actually start working.

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...
