Adi Chaham week 2 : Traveling


Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed traveling but it wasn’t until the summer of 2017 that traveling became something I loved even more. Up until then, most of my family’s traveling took place in Israel, Canada, in central America, and across a few states in the United States but since the summer of 2017 (up until Corona began), my family has been trying to travel more often. During those few summers, before or after traveling to Israel, my family and I would go somewhere new for 2ish weeks. One year we went to Thailand, another year we went to Spain and the year after we traveled to Vancouver and the Rocky mountains in Canada. Then, the summer right after covid began, we were supposed to travel to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands but then, Covid began so our trip got canceled.

 From the places I have been to, I learned about different cultures and ways of life. One day, I would love to travel across the world. Specifically, I want to travel to Australia, London, Italy, Paris, Switzerland, Greece, and Morocco. I believe that if you are given the opportunity to travel, do it. For me personally, traveling takes me away from my amazing life in America and teaches me  about food, culture, music, and how people live their lives in different parts of the world. Traveling, I think, is the best way to learn about places and gives you a taste of people’s lives other than yours. Traveling is also a great way to relax and take a break while exposing yourself to new experiences and lifestyles and allows you to make new memories. 

However, as much as I love traveling, whenever I do travel, I start missing my home and bed after a while. Therefore, as much as I would like to travel for 6 months at a time, I don’t think I am ready for that. I would, though, like to travel after high school for the summer to a few places before going off to college. During that summer I would hope to travel to a few places in Europe so that I can take that off of my bucket list. Every year, if I have the time, I hope to travel to at least one new place to learn more about the world and take a break from my life in America. 

Do you enjoy traveling? Do you think there are benefits of traveling? After we graduate, do you want to travel also?

    Yes I really want to travel after we graduate because I feel like it is the best way to learn so much more about yourself and the world around you. Through traveling independently and seeing the world you learn to better love this planet and yourself in the process.

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...
