Tal

My name is Tal. I'm 15 years old; I have lived in 10 years. Before living in Alon Shvut, we lived in Jerusalem. My father is from New York and my mother is from Israel (that’s why my English is not that good as other girls in my class…) they met and married in Israel. I have a brother who is a year older than me (16), his name is Or, and ever since we were little we have been very good friends. Besides him I have two brothers who are younger than me- Ariel (12), and Aviad (9), and a spoiled but cute little sister named Roni (5). ======

We are a very musical family: my father sings and plays the guitar, my mother plays piano, Or plays piano and a little bit of guitar. He taught me to play guitar, so now I know some guitar too. Ariel plays flute, and Aviad started learning piano, Roni will have to wait a little…. ======

I love listening to music. In addition, I like reading the words of the songs I hear. It makes me like songs with deep meanings. In general I prefer Israeli music (maybe it's because I understand the meaning better…), I like listening to Aviv Geffen's songs, Aviv Geffen is kind of weird, so most people don't really like him, but his writing is really good, and his music is good too. I like Shalom Hanoch and Arik Einstein too; both of them are pretty old singers (particularly 70's-80's), however this fact doesn’t make them less good, on the contrary, that make them better. Although I like Israeli music, I like English bands from the 60's, like Beatles and Queen, I think they have great music and today's bands should learn from them. ======

My favorite color is red, almost all of my things are red, I think I like it because it's an exciting color and I like doing exciting things. My favorite place in Israel is Tel Aviv, it's an exciting city (and like I said I like exciting things), I feel there in the "real world", it's a living city and I really like the see there; In spite of liking Tel Aviv, that is considered a noisy and dirty city (even though I don’t think that…), I like very much the Kinneret Lake that is considered very pastoral and quiet, for this reason are family likes going there in our vacations. ======

If I could change something in the world, I would change the thinking of people about other people, who are different than them. A lot of times people just hate other people because they're a bit weird. They even don’t know them at all, so why they hate them? Just because they're not exactly like them? That is something that really bothers me. ======

If you'll ask me what I will want to do with the rest of my life I would have a really hard time answering you, because I haven't yet gotten to the stage at which I feel ready to make those decisions. Throughout the next years I'll try to build myself up and try to formulate my opinions. ======
