Hi! My name is Avital. I'm 15 years old. I was born in Jerusalem , and I now live in Efrat. I have 3 brothers and both my parents are teachers. I love my family! I speak Hebrew, English and Spanish. I taught myself Spanish because I heard it and loved it. It has a special meaning for me and I am starting to read books in Spanish too.

I love dancing, and I go to a dancing group twice a week. It makes me feel great! When Im sad or angry I dance and then I feel better! Yesterday I was in a really bad mood, so I put on music and danced, and then I felt so much better. I love dancing all types of dances, but especially jazz and modern dancing. I hope to be a choreograph when Im older and dance all of my life. It`s probably the most important for me in my life.

There is a TV show from Argentina called "Casi Angeles". The kids in the show dance and sing and I love them so much! The show is really special for me, because they teach you so many important things about life. Their main message is that everyone has a mission that they live for. While you live, trying to complete you're mission, there are obstacles you have to overcome. In their philosophy, the only way to overcome them is RESISTING. Resisting all of the bad things that happen. I like watching them and hearing their massages because they do it in a cute and fascinating way. The actors are so talented and honest. A sentence they say a lot and helps me when Im feeling bad is (in Spanish): "DETRAS LAS NUBES, EL CIELO ES SIEMPRE AZUL" that means- Behind the clouds, the sky is always blue". They were in Israel twice last year and gave awesome shows!  CASI ANGELES is very important for me, and always will be.

In addition, I love acting. I participate in something called "The Project" that my brother does in Efrat. In this project, teen agers from all of the schools in the area make a huge funny show, publish a news paper, make the set and costumes for the show, and all of this without help from adults. It’s a great opportunity for the kids to express their talents. Im going to act in the show, and Im very happy about it.

Im happy to have an opportunity to talk with people from other countries, because I'm really interested to know about different culters and types of living. Hope we have fun! Avital.
