Reply To: Gastritis

This is the second seminary that I am at this year, I switched here from a different seminary…

The thing is that I am actually in two programs, the reason people in Program “A” are on top of me like this is because it is a program meant for people with… well let me put it this way, we have ten girls and four madrichot here, who are here as bnot sherut.

Program “B” is completely normal, extremely modern orthodox seminary.

I am a bit more Bais yaakov, like I spent 12th grade in the local bais yaakov (I am a baal teshuva).

This all leads to constant culture shock, and my gastritis is my body’s way of reacting to it.

Yes, it stinks, but I consider myself to be very brave because I have gone through so much and in spite of all of the things I went through, I continue to charge forward, looking for the next opportunities. I was pushed into these programs by someone I am somewhat close to, its not a perfect fit, but the key here is that once I smooth out these health- harming bumps, everything should be ok.
