Johnys Week 7: The New Virus


From feeling perfectly fine to throwing up 3 times the next. I would have never been able to predict to have gotten such a strong and dangerous virus so suddenly. The sickness lasted a total of 7 days. I had a fever for 5 of those days and it seemed to gradually get worse by the day. There were new symptoms coming by the day, whether it was a new cough, random leg pain or even random nose bleeds. For the majority of these days, I was in bed and sleeping as I couldn’t function apart from constantly coughing and feeling endless pain throughout my body. Even when I would take painkillers like Tylenol and Advil, I would just feel worse and worse, constantly getting more nauseous and developing an absolutely horrible headache. One thing that actually helped me get through this virus was tea. I drank tea nonstop. I would say I had at least 40 cups of tea during these days, whether it was green tea, black tea, and even chamomile, I drank it. I didn’t even touch water once, since drinking anything cold hurt my throat. Something else that got me through was the show “Narcos.” Showcasing the story of Pablo Escobar, I was absolutely hooked on it. I finished all 3 seasons within the week and even put my whole family onto the show. Everyone in my family (apart from my sister) had actually also gotten the virus, meaning each person had to do their best to take care of themselves; this left the house filled with a bunch of zombies.  This virus was absolutely terrible and had all of us terribly sick, I'm unbelievably thankful to have it over with.

Did you or anyone you know get the new virus?

    Your sickness sounds really bad, but I'm glad you are feeling better!

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...
