Judenites Got Talent

During the fifth grade, an event occurred that really shaped the way I am. It was the Math Is Cool competition. I was a very shy person, afraid of people around me and dared not to work with anyone. My classmates knew that I excelled at math and wanted me to be a part of their team. Time passes by and it gets closer and closer to the first practice for the competition. A part of me wants to be a part of the team, but a bigger part of me says “no” because I’m too shy and afraid to do so. Everyday, my classmates would try and talk me into it. After some time, I finally gave in and gave myself a try. After many practices, it was time for the actual competition.

On Thursday, November 11, Venice Island Performing Arts Center welcomed “Philly’s Kids are Stars Talent Show.” The theme for this year’s talent show was celebrity edition; the contestants went all out in portraying their superstar. That night we were joined by special guests Beyoncé, SIA, Sam Smith and many more personalities.

Now that I could see beyond the audition, I remembered why I had wanted to be in the ensemble in the first place, and I desperately wanted to know if I had made the cut. After what seemed like endless waiting, Mrs. Vermillion finally posted the list. My eyes immediately went to the Soprano column. When I saw my name, I hardly dared believe it. Slowly, the realization that this was not some mistake began to sink in. It was the most incredible feeling in the world, like I could have flown if I wanted to.

I have always been interested in learning about religion in conjunction with experiencing it. Growing up I was raised in a Christian home and learned very little about any other religion including other monotheistic religion. Judaism is the religion that I knew the least about and decided that the best possible way for me to learn more was to experience it. I had only ever heard of Judaism in a comical or historical way. I chose to go to a Synagogue to further my knowledge and experience Judaism first hand.

If I was given the opportunity to join the Beta club I would be the happiest person in the world! I want to join the Beta club because I would meet new people, I would help a lot of people, and I would be caring and have responsibility. If I was to join the Beta club I would take it very seriously. So that way I can work hard. Before I make my decision on being in the Beta club I would think carefully.

Valleyfair is such a great company they provide a lot of fun for the family. I love trying to help people become in and thus increase the likelihood of the employees staying in Valleyfair. I really can persevere through hardships, and I have an optimistic viewpoint on many things and I like to be helpful in any way that I can.

Being a member gives me the opportunity keep up to date with the progress of my local hospital and gives me the chance to participate in making positive future changes to the trust.

The road to show choir nationals was a long struggle with many roadblocks. There were many times when I dreaded going to rehearsal, and when I got there, I just wanted it to be over so I could leave. Show choir started to feel like a chore to me and I didn’t enjoy it like I did last year. That is, until March 31st.

At the end of the night, ask the audience vote on a student winner, a teacher winner. Give the winner a trophy to keep until the following year’s show, and recognize the school where the winner attends. Everyone will leave brainstorming about what their next performance should be and how they can win that coveted trophy.

Having been a chubby kid, I was always a bit intimidated by the realm of sports. Soccer balls led to sprained ankles and footballs caused concussions - all for what? When my friend asked me to come with her to the varsity lacrosse tryouts in freshman year, I agreed just for the sake of giving her company. Yet after picking up the basics and running a quick mile, I found myself on the field with a dozen other kids - somehow I had made the team!

The auditorium buzzes with a nervous energy. Everyone holds their breath as the emcee announces the sweepstakes winners. “In second place,” this was our defining moment and we would win, “Northside Health Careers High School!” Just like that, our ten year winning streak in overall sweepstakes at the Texas State Junior Classical League convention was over. I felt that I hadn’t contributed enough to the club and that my passion for classics had diminished.

I was excited but was not there for competition only to just see how I would do in the sport. “I can’t wait to see how you

Applause erupted. I felt my body go numb. Our entire group burst from our seats, unable to contain our excitement. As our names were called as the winners of the 2017 Next Generation Jazz Festival, it wasn’t even the music that mattered most; the feeling of unity as we joined hands was beyond fulfilling. In my junior year, my vocal jazz director offered me the role of student director of the ensemble, and at first, I felt intimidated by taking on such a huge role, but I knew that I couldn’t step into this role timidly. As the year began, I worked closely with my director to create a strategic plan for the year, and we carefully planned the songs we would sing for the upcoming Next Generation Jazz Festival—a competition we had won for two consecutive
