Leah Week 6 - My Bracelets

Some people may have noticed that I wear a whole selection of different multi-colored bracelets on my right wrist. The purpose of this, believe it or not, is not actually to stop my blood circulation, but rather because each one means something important to me. 


The biggest one that I wear closest to my elbow is one that I made at summer camp, working as a counselor. It is important to me because it reminds me of the wonderful memories I shared with my campers and other counselors, as well as it has a Jewish symbol on it that represents my religion. I also wear a pink and blue bracelet that I made at camp. 


I have three bracelets that are friendship bracelets with one of my best friends, Samantha Ostroff. One of them is a butterfly that changes based on the person’s mood, another is one that says salt, and the last is one that says cookies. Samantha has the other butterfly bracelet, one that says pepper, and the last that says milk. Samantha also gave me a bracelet that says my name on it. And lastly, I have a bracelet that is a little cat, Samantha has a unicorn, and Jessica Cohen has a cow. 


I wear a white and silver bracelet with an infinity sign that was a gift from my mom. It reminds me that she always loves me. I also wear a colorful bracelet that has a picture of the continent of Africa on it. This is because it reminds me never to forget where I come from. 


The last category of bracelets that I wear that are important to me are two bracelets from another significant person in my life. One was a gift sent when this person was away at camp (it was handmade), and the other was a birthday gift. The handmade bracelet is multicolored and the other bracelet is pink. 


I never want to take these bracelets off permanently because they each mean something so significant to me. Together, they define who I am, and I like to always have a physical reminder of that. 


What physical things do you have that have sentimental value to you?

    I also own things that mean a certain thing to me. When I receive jewelry from my grandma or mom that is passed down, I refer to that as jewelry that helps define me. It makes me the person I am today and I was grown up to wear it with pride and care.

    I do not have many objects or items that hold sentimental value to me. I tend to value the pictures or memories itself more. For that reason, I do tend to be very hesitant when I delete or get rid of any pictures, whether physical or digital.

    I love knowing the meaning behind all of your bracelets! I have a few things that are important to me, but I don't wear them often because they get in the way when I'm trying to work. I bet you've gotten used to them after so long, so you don't even notice them as a hindrance.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
