College course
For the next four years I have ideas and plans and goals that I cannot wait to unleash from my head and onto a real, live college campus.
Delayed reaction
I have a kvutza — an age group — a group of people out there who care about me and for me, 12 individuals, a secret all to myself, a little piece of my heart and soul.
Reigning in my heart
It kills me that Buddy Holly died exactly 50 years ago this year in a plane crash. My dad says I’m “sentimental.” I just appreciate a good love song when I hear one.
The value of knowledge
When I was in elementary school, I could not imagine disliking going to class everyday. What else was there to do? But now, entering my junior year, high school has become more than tedious. Many people share this sentiment, but maybe not for the same reasons; I am largely a self-learner. I don’t need a textbook or teacher to teach me; I’m motivated to learn on my own.
