Something's Missing

By my previous posts and the title of this blog I'm guessing you think this is about my romantic life or my school life...its not so read on.

Today I had work at Temple Israel staffing the 9th grade program. Despite the serious lack of communication among the staff, the programming went very well. The parents and kids all seemed to have fun and learned a lot about Jewish values, the whole point of the thing.

The problem arose on the car ride home. I sat in the car with Emily and Carly and said aloud, I think I'm done after this year, even though in my head I knew I was in fact lying to myself. I can't live without being a part of something like the 9th grade program.

Last semester was one of the most stressful times of my life, the youth group, school, the frat I tried to juggle it all. While I wasn't as successful at keeping all the balls in the air, it was also the happiest I've ever been in my life. While I didn't look forward to the bus trips to Temple for tedious staff meetings and administrative headaches, I loved working with the kids. There's no way around it, I miss my old job.

There have been a few very difficult decisions in my life to date, and resigning from the TIPTY adviser position was by far one of the hardest for me. I had waited my whole life to be in that position and now it is gone. There is indeed something missing in my life, it is all the drama, stress, love, and fun that came to my life from being a youth advisor. I can't wait to be in a position to do it again.
