| Introduction | First of all, a little bit of a background about me. I grew up as a Reform Jew and went to a public school for K-8. I went to a yeshiva high school for 9th grade to try it out since I didnt like the public school system and my parents had heard it was a very good school. Now I am in 12th grade and am still attending the yeshiva. Anyways, I would consider myself somewhat of a baal teshuvah. The first entry is when I was a junior. There is a significant period of time between the 4th and the 5th entries. This journal chronicles my issues and struggles being a baal teshuvah, day by day. Sometimes it's a bit unorganized, but hey who said life is supposed to be organized?
