Atara Berkower - Week 2 - Minimester is here!

 Minimester is here!

Minimester is here!! I have never been to DKJA’s minimester. I am hoping to use it as a time to learn about real-life things like cooking and baking. We do not get to learn real-world things that we should know during the regular school year. Minimester gives us the opportunity to learn about important day-to-day things. I signed up for cupcake decorating, Challah bake, chess, how to play Backgammon, Marine boot camp, bodyweight exercising, and business and entrepreneurship. I am interested in all of these things because it will improve those skills for when I need them after high school. 

Schools should offer these courses as electives so that students get a feel for these fields. After high school, we will be living on our own and will have to cook, clean, and care for ourselves. As for me, I would like to do something in the business field when I get older. I take advantage of the business club because I learn from the speakers how they run their businesses and the first step they took to become successful. Minimester taught me that in the Entrepreneurship and business class. 

Mrs. Joseph’s Challah bake is really important because it will teach everyone how to bake Challah for Shabbat. I will eventually have to do that when I live on my own. Mrs. Millers bodyweight exercising minimester will teach me how to exercise when I do not have any materials to do so. Finally, chess and backgammon minimesters are important because the games teach us strategies and exercise our brain.

Overall, Minimester is extremely beneficial to us because it teaches us skills that we would most likely not learn on a regular basis.

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...
