    let me clarify that this Europe trip takes place in the summer

    It’s far from depressing moish. It’s emotional and life changing. The irony is that this of all things lends chizuk and strengthens emuna. It gives you the right perspective and priorities. It also matures those that aren’t (not you per se)

    moish, you seem like the kind of person who can handle quite a bit. Is it possible that you’re underestimating yourself?

    mepal, NICE! thanx. 🙂

    anyway, day 1 update: I found it ridiculously easy, the first essay was writing the pros of dog therapy on the elderly. (there werent any cons) and the second one was why its better to use a bike over a car. simple as that! 🙂 tomorrows the biggie…

    WOW kapusta, so glad to hear! Hope tomorrows’ as easy as todays’ was!

    How’d you manage to figure out what to write for part one? Sounds pretty strange, dog therapy on the elderly?!?

    You’re saying that you’re afraid of emotion. Why is that- is my question

    #679623

    Participant

    mepal, I hope so too. thanx for the continued support!

    It was weird, but they listed a whole bunch of benefits, provides company, love, mental stimulation (I found that very farfetched) that dogs can do for older people and it was fine. It wasnt the longest essay I’ve ever written, but it wasnt too bad.

    kapusta- oh, good! The best part of part one is that they spoon feed all the info. You just gotta put it into some kind of essay.

    This fear (of the unknown?) is stopping you from moving forward- in any area. You want to do a lot of things, you’ve said so yourself, yet each time you think too much about it you start to hold back and then let it slide for lack of… ‘courage’ I don’t think is the right word…

    I understand these feelings; almost every teen has these insecurities.

    What will convince you moish? To stick to working on a midda, to go back to yeshiva, to go on an inspirational trip, to let go of some pride and talk to your parents and show them you really want this change but don’t know how to go about it… (a ramble, read again)

    I don’t read minds and to your relief- I’m not a kiruv pro. So what to do?

    I made contact with that yeshiva and I’m doing a little research on your behalf (Now you’re thinking “Who asked you??”. ME! That’s who. Maybe I do read minds ;))

    mepal, by the way i think it’s “a regents” in singular too. like one fish two fish.

    moish- I make a pledge not to annoy you or give unsolicited mussar (for the time being so that you can unload). Who’s with me?

    moish, I beg to differ. As in, ‘I took the English Regent today’. You wouldn’t say ‘I took the English Regents today.

    well, I hate to break up a good fight, but I actually did take the regen__ today. I would agree with me pal mepal but honestly, I think both of them are used. I’m not sure which one is correct.

    moish, maybe it says it in plural there since there are like 6 regents in the book ;). Not sure…

    check the title of one of the regents. i just looked on regentsprep.com it says

    The University of the State of New York

    REGENTS HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATION

    Wow! someone does his homework 😉

    #679646

    just two quick examples from wikipedia – check out the grammar

    If a student’s cell phone or any other electronically devices may make noises the student’s test will become void, and he/she must retake that regents at a later time.

    The English Regents requires four essays, each structured differently.

    yeh moish, check out the chemistry regent thread.

    about the regents, are you shocked the NYS govt doesn’t know grammar? I’m not! 😉

    mepal, I finished!

    I connected a quote that I interpreted as conformist/non conformist, to (get this, you sitting down?) mordechai refused to bow down to haman. stopped laughing?

    I used huck finn as the other one.

    mepal, I had to, it was a weird quote, but it was really funny writing it out. Start an essay on a regent, “in the book of Esther…” 😉

    moish, how can she face it, part of it’s on the floor. 😉

    kapusta: i would have actually done it (wow! that much show how much i miss it!) but there are two problems 1) i wouldn’t be allowed in a girls school (sorry don’t know how to mask a beard no matter how small) 2) english, although i may have done well on my regent (yes i was in new york for high school) it still is not the subject i am best at (but in all seriousness there are regents in august? mine were june-ish)

    Kapusta, just try imagining your teachers face while she reads your essay….

    Unless she told you that you may use books from the ‘scripture’ before the regentS.

    mepal: in my days oh, say about a year ago it was spelled regent for singular and regentS for plural and i refuse to change in that matter (thereby backing out of machloikes (yeah right :))

    in regards to my most recent post on this topic THIS DOES NOT MEAN I LIKE(D) SCHOOL I AM JUST BEING NOSTALGIC (not to say i was totally repulsed by it.-i think i can start a thread on this topic)
