DANIEL FELDMAN

City: West Bloomfield
Kudos: Young Leader

Quick to credit his parents' sacrifices
for his opportunities, Daniel Feldman,
16, came to America with his family
when he was 1 year old, before the
break up of the Soviet Union. A grad-
uate of Hillel Day School of

Metropolitan Detroit, Feldman, who
speaks English, Russian, Hebrew and
Spanish, is an 11th-grader at
Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School
in Bloomfield Hills. He says
he is privileged to attend "a
really nice school" and is very
motivated to do well. His
teachers chose him as one of a
handful of students from
Michigan to attend the
National Young Leaders
Conference, a five-day pro-
gram of the Congressional
Youth Leadership Council in
Washington, D.C., which
attracted almost 400 "leaders
of tomorrow" nationwide.

How was the conference?
"Great. We were in small
groups of 20 and debated
issues and did simulations
like, 'If we were the presi-
dent, how would we handle
the situation in the Congo?'
We heard experts on the
U.S. trade agreements with
other countries. And we
learned about the Supreme
Court, what precedents are,
what it means to be consti-
tutional and how important it is to
know the facts before making an
opinion!"

What were the most important
issues discussed?

"The current conflicts in Iraq,
nuclear proliferation in North Korea
and Iran and the war on terrorism.
Israel wasn't a big point of discus-
sion. A majority felt not much could
be done in the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict."

Were you surprised by anything at
the conference?
"I'm a liberal Democrat and our
debates solidified my beliefs. I was
surprised that more people I met
were Democrats versus Republicans.
But most people were neither. Their
support was based on a candidate
rather than a party."

How did the conference affect you?
"I have leadership skills; I can be
the captain of a club. The world of
politics and international relations?
I'd rather stay away from that,
though I'm still considering law and
medicine. With medicine, you can
lead a quieter life. Politics is a has-
sle.

Dear
Bar ,
y
am I always
disappointed
with every
new diet I try.
What Can I do? I am Fed Up!

nswer: Dear Fed Up, It's
important to be wary of
being trapped in the "diet
cycle." The "diet cycle" goes
like this: First comes the desire
to be thinner. That is followed
by learning about the "new"
diet, which, typically, prom-
ises "more" effective weight
loss (than other diets). Past diet
failures are forgotten and the
new diet is embraced because it
is often assumed that the diet's
promoters have new
or know some
I ,. formation
.
"secret" about wieght loss
that the dieter does not .

ik

Rather than get caught
in the "diet cycle," I
recommend that you
first develop a positive
action plan to achieve
your goals. Real suc-
cess strategies start
with behavior modifi-
cation. New diets prom-
ise
success in the short run,
but life changes and conscious
eating are long-term and involve
the body, mind and soul.

I hope this inspires you to move
beyond the "comfort zone" of yo-
yo dieting. Diets are designed to
work for the moment but usually
result in failure and disappoint-
ment. Find a coach who can give
you the right support.
