Atara Berkower - Week 8 - Spring tennis season

Every school year, I look forward to Spring because that is when the tennis season comes around. Freshman year, the tennis season got cut short because of Covid 19. My last tennis match on the Posnack tennis team in freshman year was against Donna Klein. It was my favorite season because my team was so close and it felt like we were a true team. Last year’s tennis season was the highlight of the “Corona year”. Since school was so limited and almost nobody attended in-person school, the only exciting thing was having a tennis season. It felt like Corona did not exist when we practiced and competed unlike the regular academics in school. 

This year’s tennis season has gone by so fast. We are already halfway through the season. So far the girl’s team has only lost one match and the boy’s team is still undefeated. It is not the same this year because we do not meet for practice as often as we used to and we have not had as many matches. Many matches keep getting rained out and postponed and therefore we have not been able to meet as a team as often. I am looking forward to the second half of the season because we are playing better teams and will get more competitive matches. After our last tennis match, we attend the District tournament. The District tournament lasts for 2 days and we get to miss school and play multiple matches until we lose. 

Spring is my favorite time of the year because of the tennis season. What is your favorite season of the year and why?

    I like winter the most because I have the most events then with family birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays or events. I also like the tennis team, though, and thought it was an exciting end to the very boring 10th grade year because of COVID.

    My favorite season is fall because it has the best holidays, scents, and overall vibes. I also love how the weather is coldish and rainy.

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...
