#avodah11

Over the past 2 months I have experienced one of the best things of my life. I never thought that avodah would influence my life as much as it did. I know the friendships I have developed are lifelong. They know everything about me and will always be my true best friends. Even through the hard times of the summer it was amazing. You would think that after 2 months with the same people, same routine you would be ready to get home; but I would do anything to go back. My camp friends are my best friends. We laugh and cry together and even spend 7 hours outside in the 109 heat lifting every campers luggage. But no matter what we made it fun. I love you guys so much. Take me back to avodah

Almost Done

The days of junior year are quickly winding down and summer is here. Thankfully I am exempt from all of my finals so this last week of school has been really relaxing. I got my wisdom teeth out, which I'm stl recovering from, but now it's time to start relaxing for summer. I was lucky enough to get my wisdom teeth out with Jackie so I had constant company, but
I also was lucky enough to have my friends come visit a lot. It certainly made the recovery seem easier when I wasn't in pain alone.

Today, we have our first SOS meeting. SOS is a senior selected program to help the new freshman become aquainted at Pearce throughout their first year. There are about 50 selected seniors and we will each have a freshman class that we lead during am advisory class on Wednesdays during the school day. For other grade levels the advisory will serve as a study hall and a class to get paperwork and protocol taken care of throughout the hear. I am really excited to have the chance to help pioneer this new program. When I was a freshman I wish I had a senior who I could look up to and go to for advice. Our first meeting is today and I'm excited to see the kind of stuff we will be teaching our freshman.

Camp, the days until camp are very quickly approaching. We leave in just less than two weeks and I am really excited it just seems like there is so much left to do before I am gone all summer. This year we will be avodahs and get to work with campers but not be in the same cabin as them. Most of my friends are doing it except a few of my guy friends but it will still be nice to be at camp and get away for the summer. It's weird that I won't be a camper anymore
and that now I'm partially on staff but at least I still get to be on camp. Can't wait to be back at camp.

N'siah Of the Best Chapter in NTO

I am officially installed as the Fannie Sablosky N'siah and couldn't be more excited. I have the best exec board to work with and they have already done so much. We have had a successful fundraiser at Mooyah last week and our planning a plug party to vote for our new beau. I love being president. As stressful as it can get it is already so rewarding. Everyone has been so supportive and I know we are on our way to getting sablosky on the right track.

It has been such a busy year and I'm ready for it to wind down. Junior year is never ending. It's almost summer and I can't wait to be at camp with ally friends. It certainly won't ve the same as Israel was last summer but it's going to be amazing.

This One's For the Girls

This past weekend we had a Fannie Sablosky lock-in.  Most chapters have a full retreat over a weekend but we decided to just do one night.  We planned the perfect amount of programs and the night went perfectly.  The highlight for me was getting to lead This One's For the Girls.  This program was started 3 years ago and the juniors write out anything they want to say.  It can be anything imaginable; BBYO related, fears, family, friends, boys, anything.  Sureck, Jackie and I each wrote something and walked in the circle crying just like our other sisters have.  It was truly amazing to then hear each girl say what they want to say.  Some said very personal things and others just said how happy they were to find a place like Sablosky to be able to come to.  That was one of the best feelings I've ever had.  I loved walking and reading with Jackie and Sureck.  The three of us have gone through so much together and to be able to finally lead this program was amazing.  I  couldn't have asked for a better lock-in.  It was perfect.  Sablosky girls I love you so much and I am truly the luckiest girl in the world to have y'all as my sisters. 

Submitted with undying love for,

Old board, new board, henna, this one's for the girls, jackie sweetheart, dani sweetheart, carly best friend, being the newly elected n'siah, and each and every one of you,

I remain
Dani N'siah

Best Seller

Sorry I haven't written in a while.  Last year was the annual Pacesetter revue.  Our theme this year was, "Best Seller" and each dance was tied to a genre of book.  We spent countless hours working on the show, the week of we were at school from 7:25 a.m. to 10 p.m.  The long hours were so worth it.  Each of the 41 Pacesetters put their hearts into the show.  The feeling of being on that stage is irreplaceable.  Every year revue always has its sad moments, mainly when the seniors hang their hats.  I have gotten really close to the seniors because we have been on the team together for 2 years.  They have left such a strong legacy and the junior class will fit in perfectly to be the next leaders of the team.  It is really hard to believe that this time next year I will be done with Pacesetters and will have hung my hat.  It was such a good year and thank you to everyone who helped make it a Best Seller.  41st line forever

Inspired

I am at a BBYO convention known as LTI. It is a leadership convention and the entire weekend is based off improving each chapter and learning more leadership skills. I signed up because of the impact I will have on sablosky during these next few months. I figured it would be a good chance to bond with the two other girls from sablosky going and maybe learn a little something. Never did I think I would learn as much as I did. I was overall very inspired to go to sablosky and truly change the future for this chapter. I have come up with ideas for little things that can only grow into bigger ones. I kept a note on my phone for whenever I thought of an idea for our sablosky lock in which is in two weeks. I am so excited to have the opportunity to lead this chapter that over the weekend my passion has grown so much for. After walkdown I really wanted to be done but I knee that I couldn't be. I didn't think that I had the resources or experience to lead my chapter. My confidence has grown in myself and my chapter. I now believe that I have an endless amount of resources and that I am capable of leading my chapter. Fannie Sablosky BBG you never cease to amaze me and I know that this next term will be challenging but there is now no doubt in my mind that we can't handle anything else that comes our way. JZ and Brianna this past weekend has been amazing with both of you and I am so proud of y'all. I love you both along with every other proud Sablosky girl and BBG.

Catching Up on a Little Bit of Everything

I know I haven't written much lately but it's just that time of the year that gets very busy. My time has been mainly filled by Pacesetters and maintaing my school work before the end of the year. Our Pacesetter spring show: Best Seller, is on April 15th and 16th. We have been getting ready and working on all of our dances nonstop. Our show is my favorite part of the year. You truly realize how much the team means to you and how much you will miss the seniors in the following year. I have become so close to the seniors and next year will be very different. Not only will there only be 11 seniors, we are the seniors. Third year senior is the highest rank you can have in Pacesetters without being an officer. It is a big honor to be a third year senior. I have also been busy getting ready for the ACT. I had missed writing and had a little bit of down time so I decided to write. I've missed blogging and hopefully even through the stress of these next few weeks I will have time to write.

Have a good day!
Dani
