Eva Week 6- My Life on my Wall

My favorite part of my room is my bulletin boards. I have two boards on the wall in front of my desk, and I can look up at them while I am working. They contain little pieces of my life dating back to 2017. You can learn a lot about who I am and what I enjoy from staring at them. 

Front and center are four paper bills: 50 Mexican pesos, 5000 Colombian pesos, a US dollar bill, and, the most recent addition, 20 Israeli shekels. They remind me of the places I have traveled to in the past couple of years and the exciting times I experienced there. The dollar is a tradition I picked up from Rebecca’s family where everyone takes a dollar on New Year’s Eve, and we keep it the entire year as good luck.

To the right of my bills are a collection of vinyl stickers. They started in a small corner of my bulletin board and have spread to fill half of my main board and almost my entire second board. The stickers come from many different places and are each little memories from my life. I received a large portion of them from robotics competitions. Every team gives out swag, and when you multiply that by the nearly 550 teams you interact with in a season, you get lots and lots of swag.

After my sticker collection is my enamel pin and button collection. Most of them, again, are from robotics. First Lego League competitions give out enamel pins of the season’s theme, and I have a pin from every year I participated (four years starting in 5th grade). Each year, my current robotics team makes a team button to match the theme, so I have three representing all seven years I have participated in robotics. I also have some Nasa-related pins from competitions- Nasa started handing out Artemis swag years before it became a thing. 

Finally, there are my random-items-I-can-pin-to-a-bulletin-board section. I have one of each color of Donna Klein’s wristbands, reminding me of the school’s Covid-19 days. I also have some keychains, including my favorite of a cat in a sushi roll playing ping-pong (thank you Milo). I have my first Cricut project, my favorite string bracelets, some cut-outs of cats wearing bunny ears, a crochet flower, and much more.  

What is your favorite part of your room and why?

    That's actually really cool and unique. My own is pretty bland and doesn't have much besides a desk to do my schoolwork. I think having something like that in your room makes it feel special.

    I love your bulletin boards! It's awesome because many of your robotics and traveling souvenirs also bring memories for me. My favorite thing in my room has to be my desk set up with my keyboard. I spend so much time there that I make sure to keep it organized.

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...
