How can that be?

I just got off the phone with an “old” friend in the states whose almost 16-year-old daughter just returned from Atlantic Seabord Region’s NCSY regional convention.

This CHILD (who is, by the way, the same age as my son!!) received a meritorious leadership award and was elected to be on the regional board.

To go into the background of what this means to all of you non-NCSYers, would take me too long. Basically NCSY is an international Jewish youth organization. An organization where I learned about my Judaism and made some of the best friends I have in my life!

I received awards and I was on regional board in high school. I was regional president for gosh sakes!

My son is going to be 16 this summer. The summer I turned 16 I came to Israel on an NCSY summer program. It was the first summer I had ever spent with Jewish Orthodox kids. I can’t even begin to describe to you what I did and saw that summer! It was, of course, the best summer of my teenage life. But, now my son is going to be 16 this summer!

My friend’s daughter is on regional board! What does that mean for my friend and I?

We’re old!

I love your blog Sarah Smile. How long has it been on-line? Reason I ask is I am doing a ton of work in the area of equine massage therapy schools and will probably end up starting a blog of my own. Funny how the internet brought me here when I was doing searches on equine massage therapy schools. Oh well, I am glad it did. Keep up the great blogging and I am sure I will visit How can that be? again!!
