Activities included whitewater rafting in the Costa Rican rain forest.
year-old sister, Ali, participates in out-
door activities year round. Jessy's
father, Matt Hodges, is a manufactur-
er's representative for outdoor goods
such as Jansport, widely known for its
backpack line.
Jessy, who celebrated her bat mitz-
vah at Workmen's Circle in Oak Park,
joined 500 other teens who called the
number in the ad and followed up
with applications, questionnaires and
telephone interviews.
She made the final cut in January —
one of only eight selected from around
the nation — after her mother took
her to the airport to meet with a cast-
ing agent who had flown in for the
last interview.
Then came the hard part for her
mother and father. Because Jessy is not
old enough to sign a contract on her
own, her parents were sent a thick wad
of legal papers, filled with waivers that
informed them of all the dangers and
negative consequences that might
befall their daughter in a tropical rain
forest.
"Reading all that was the only time I
thought maybe we shouldn't do this,"
Sandweiss-Hodges said. "They listed
all of the possible things that could
happen in a situation like that. They
listed them all in gory detail."
Hodges convinced her teachers to
allow her to miss a week and a half of
school to participate in the taping of
the show, telling them that the experi-
ence was sure to be an educational
event.
While her friends relaxed during their
snowy break in mid-February, Hodges
flew from Detroit to Texas, where she
met the other participants. They flew
together to Costa Rica, where they also
spent time doing community service
projects with local families.
"We stayed in their houses, which
were really just floors with roofs.
There were no walls. We ate all of our
meals with them, which was all beans
and rice. That is all they eat for break-
fast, lunch and dinner. We helped
with the chores, using a machete and
picking beans," she said, adding that
the experience changed her.
"I began to realize that some of the
things I thought were necessities were
really not that important." For exam-
ple: TV.
"We didn't watch television the
whole time. Since I have been back, it
just doesn't interest me anymore."
Hodges said that while she values the
trip for the experience it gave her, she
hopes that it also is a springboard for a
career in acting or singing. This fall,
the sophomore hopes to earn a part in
Berkley's fall musical, Hello, Dolly!
She spent part of the summer hon-
ing her talents as part of a musical the-
ater troupe studying drama and voice
at the Interlochen Arts Camp in
northern Michigan.
"The camping setting is much cozier
there," said her mother, laughing.
