She looked like she was maybe 30. Then she got into a discussion with me. Ends up being she's Jewish but not religious. She was telling me how it was gonna be her job to open the synagogue doors for some service and to show the people where to go or something. It was funny though, cause she said her mother was paying for her college tuition, imagine that.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-33977983859955839862008-03-05T17:52:00.000-05:002008-03-05T17:52:00.000-05:00but depending on the class, the average could be o...but depending on the class, the average could be older. take for instance, my photography class. i totally bring down the age average by like fifteen years, at least! and alot of nursing classes, esp. the night ones, have alot of older women going back to schoolfrumcollegegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546322282250970868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-74124763129180421402008-03-05T17:42:00.000-05:002008-03-05T17:42:00.000-05:00o, yea if you take into account a year in Israel t...o, yea if you take into account a year in Israel then the average age would be 19 for the first year. <BR/><BR/>I did sem locally so I was in both at the same time.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-46103096094974579412008-03-05T17:40:00.000-05:002008-03-05T17:40:00.000-05:00average is 18. i feel old cuz i'm in my first year...average is 18. i feel old cuz i'm in my first year and i'm 19 (i was in israel last year)frumcollegegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546322282250970868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-7240968990821067722008-03-05T17:35:00.000-05:002008-03-05T17:35:00.000-05:0016 does sound young.

Nobody did. He then asks if anyone was just ineligible. Two guys said they weren't citizens, and then he asks me why I couldn't vote. "I'm sixteen." The other frum Jew was seventeen. <BR/>He almost had a heart attack, "In all my twenty years of teaching nobody has ever said they were underage to vote.
