Esty

Hey there! My name is Esty, I’m fifteen. I was born in Jerusalem on the 26th of October, 1995.

I lived in Rechavya (in Jerusalem) until the age of five, when I moved to Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1st-3rd grade I learnt in MJB Hebrew Academy and I loved it there. My parents planned on staying there for only one year which turned into two. At the end of the third year my mom said, “That’s it, we’re moving back to the ISRAEL!”

Now I live in Jerusalem (again…) however I learn in Gush Etzion, in a school called 'Neve Chana' which is about 45 minutes from home. A lot of people think it’s weird that I go all the way out of town just to go to school but, surprisingly, I love it and enjoy the new experience of meeting new kinds of people and adjusting to new surroundings.

I believe that every human being has his/her one specialty which can do wonders in the world. It can be anything; from being able to do a Zoolander expression, to being able to talk to dogs.

This ability is what I’m still trying to find. I’m sure a lot of people are stuck in this situation too and I hope with all my heart that one day soon we’ll all find it!

My favorite quote is: “Anything is possible if you just believe”. In my opinion this quote means everything. All you can ever do in life is based on your belief in the goal you’re focusing on and you may live a happy, fulfilling life.

During my life I have learned ballet, dance, gymnastics, and basketball. I played the flute, guitar and piano. Now I play tennis and who knows-- maybe it will bring me somewhere?!??! J

I’m really exited to do this awesome project with everyone…

See ya!
