Michlala Poster Girl?

I was recently talking to someone about Michlala and mentioned that while I did not love my seminary while I was there, in retrospect it was literally the best thing that ever happened to me. To which she responded that I should be my seminary's poster girl, which I kinda thought was funny; I'm probably not exactly the ideal of what Michlala would like of its graduates (I'm in a secular college after all).

But at the same time, I did mean what I said. Seminary was really, really the best thing that ever happened to me ... even if I didn't think so at the time. (For more about my love of sem, look here.)

One of my friends told me that she hated her shana bet with a passion, and explained that "it's hard to grow." It's true: changing what you believe in, questioning who you are, those are not easy things to do and I did do them in Israel despite my recalcitrance (look, it's an SAT word!) to any sort of growth. And I couldn't be happier about the fact that I did.

Maybe I could be Michlala's poster girl after all...
