I’m from Machon Raaya and I just want to update what was written a few days ago by another Machon Raaya girl… THE WORK HERE IS MURDER!!!! when she posted that, we had just started school but now, two days later, we’re loaded with work. The only thing is, the Seminary is there for us. They listen to our compaints and they are there for us. You feel so comfortable with the staff, that it doesn’t feel like a principal/ teacher/ student relationship, it feels like a home. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable or awkward to go over to them and tell them how you feel. Today my principal came over to me and asked how it is going (no this is not the first time she asked me. She is constantly making sure we all are adjusting and she shows she cares, and it isn’t fake.) when I told her that I feel really overwhelmed, she told me to come to her when I have time and she will sit with me and work it through with me. I honestly feel like I’m in a home. Not just a home, but a small, warm, close nit place, with people who really care. If you want a big seminary, than this place is not for you. If you want a seminary where you aren’t just one of many girls, but you are a person, an individual, than this place is for you. It is extremely open minded. If you want to come with your group of friends, forget about it because you won’t fit in. Meaning that here eveyone is friends with everyone, there aren’t cliques or groups. so if you are gonna hang out with just your little group, don’t do it here. Here everyone is friends with everyone. Everyone cares and you feel that warmth from the second you step into our Machon Raaya Home. Hatzlacha to everyone, I know it’s hard but iy”H you I will daven for all of those 12th graders all over the world. Just relax, you’ll be fine. Smile.
