FRO Fall 2017 Section DTJ

baruch voices

so i attended Baruch voices, there were many kids that spoke i enjoyed all of them. before i came to this event i thought to my self that i am not going to like this and this will be a waste of my time. they had events like this in my high school were tons of kids will participate in a program to see who has the best writing, in high school i didn’t like it at all. but here at Baruch voices i like that there was a sense of diversity and hoe many different people had so many different things they wanted to talk about. so i sat down and listened to everyone and i really liked everyones writings. but the real thing i learnt from this that i should be open to more things because i never know if i will like it. just like Baruch voices i thought i wouldn’t like it but once i sat down and gave my attention to the speaker i was able to enjoy it and realize this.

and i forgot a picture sorry.

“FRO MONOLOUGE”

Alright so I’m gonna talk about a dream that I will probably always remember because at that time it was very very scary for me. So like when I was 5 years old, I go to jersey for the summer so across the street to my jersey house they have a huge dog and it was very scary to me like i would look out my window and see the dog randomly going crazy in my backyard at random times.   One time it even got into my house I don’t know house but it was roaming my house by himself and no one wanted to get him out because he is crazy. Ok so back to my dream, i was in my cousins house and she has two beds in a room and we used to jump from bed to bed someone always got hurt. So the dream was me and my cousins jumping from bed to bed and all of the sudden the dog came in and it looked like it was on steroids and had crazy teeth so we had to jump from bed to bed to avoided the beast and it was just mad scary.

My Experience at the Hillel

On October 2nd i visited the Hillel at Baruch, Hillel’s main mission is to get jewish students at Baruch and all over the world closer to their jewish culture and religion. Hillel clubs, nationally, are in most universities to give Jewish people on campus a sort of home type of feeling. They inspire people to engage with other jewish students here at Baruch, and help them learn to inspire others at Baruch. when i walked in it was this little cramped room that had so many people walking in and out, people learning, people teaching it looked like something i wanted to be apart of. they offer kosher food every day, which helps out the kids here at Baruch that keep kosher food and do not need to shlep lunch with them everyday. it also acts as a social meet up for all jews on Baruch campus to come hang out and it is right next door to the ping pong game game room. There are also some people that have offices there that you can make appointments with and talk with them about school, questions on religion, and even just talk to get to know another jew. There is also such a great feeling knowing that there is a place at Baruch that can care to your special needs with open arms. Hillel envisions a world where every student is inspired to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel.

My Experience at the MoMA

Isaac Sued                                                                             My Experience at the MoMAOn Friday September 8, I went to the Museum of Modern art. It was a little crowded but I dealt with it, I enjoyed how clean and modern everything was even the coat check looked nice. I saw art pieces from a variety of different artist like Van Gogh, Dali, and Andy Warhol, those were basically the only artist I knew. I’m not such an art guy. As I was walking through the museum I realized that anything really; can be art and if some random guy can make a couple of floating chairs connected to metal beam be art that is worth tens of thousands of dollars why can’t I. Then I said to myself that this art piece wasn’t this guy’s first piece of art he must’ve worked himself up in the art community or worked really hard to get himself where he is now, so that really made me think that if you want to be successful it’s on you working hard and its on you getting your stuff done no one else is going to do it for you. There was something else that also got my attention, there was this area which I thought was for kids, but wasn’t it was an area for people to be their own little artist. There was Legos, blocks, clay, putty, everything you can think of, I think the museum wanted people to get influenced and inspired from all the art pieces you’ve seen throughout the museum and then come to these little stations to build whatever you please. The picture above is me with a helicopter that was floating in the middle of the museum witch I thought was very cool. As I walked out I saw I line and at the end of the line there was a lady that worked at the museum handing out tickets for free, I came in from the other entrance not knowing tickets were free, I had to buy my ticket.
