After a crazy month I have not had the time to blog but now I am back. I will start by updating you on my life. First of all, I got a 2nd job for the summer at rec and parks to go along with my internship at JCC's Camp Milldale as assistant athletics specialist. Also, I am managing to keep my grades strong while balancing a big commitment to two organizations in AEPI and HIllel. Speaking of which my fraternity life has been great recently highlited by Greek Week specifically when I participated in our Greek Sing dance where we danced to NSYNC, Justin Timberlake, and Beyonce. I never felt closer to my brothers or more proud to be a member of AEPI.
On the other hand, I lost election for Hillel President and Vice President (continuing my streak of having never won a contested election EVER). While I feel I was the best candidate for the both position I knew going in that elections are about popularity not who is the best candidate. This election has taught me a few things: I now see how true the statement is that adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it. Perhaps more importantly I got to see how great an impact I have had on others and how lucky I am to have the great friends that I do. I was shown this by the huge amount of people who wanted to make sure I was ok and telling me how great of a job I did this year. Now my focus turns to my academics, finishing the year strong, and hopefully getting on Hillel Board as treasurer. Overall the year so far has been great and I am incredibly fortunate to have such a great group of friends and family
