My name is Frayda Kresch.

I'm a senior in the Academy's first
graduating class. I just starred in
Neil Simon's play, "Laughter on the
23"' Floor," I've played just about
every girls' team sport the Academy
offers, and I'm crazy about my
painting class. I came to JAMD as
a HY" grader from Bais Yakov. I
was impressed that at the Academy,
students from different Jewish
backgrounds mix so easily. I love
the fact that I can enter any congre-
gation in Metro Detroit and find
someone I know. Because JAMD
is a place of serious study, I've
really been able to develop my
beliefs and broaden my horizons.
I've applied the ideas I learn in my
Judaic courses to my general
studies and to other areas of my
life. After I graduate, I hope to
study at a girls' seminary in Israel
and then go to college and medical
school. My diverse experiences at
JAMD make all these goals
possible.
