Shoshi

Hi! My name is Shoshi, I am fifteen years old, and live in Gush Etzion. I was born is israel, and have lived there my entire life. The reason I am fluent in English is because of my parents, who are originally American.

 At home I speak English with my parents, but on the other hand, my siblings and I converse in Hebrew. Sometimes I feel like there are two sides of me. One part of me, is the western girl, who is obsessed with TV shows, shopping, and just plain going crazy with friends. On the other hand, I have a very strong Israeli side as well. As an Israeli, I love hiking, and in addition I love eating a good falafel with lots of humus!

I feel a deep connection towards Israel. It will always be the place that I feel most comfortable in, no matter what cool country I may be visiting. In my opinion, all Jews belong in Israel. All our special history happened in Israel. Our roots are in Israel as well. I hope you consider making aliyah some day ;)

 One of my strong beliefs, is that having good perspective on things can really make a difference in a persons life. Being optimistic can really change reality around! Thoughts are what cause feelings, therefore when someone is always focusing on bad thoughts, he will feel pretty bad most of the time. I think that is what leads to him having bad experiences, too. I also believe that G-d created every person for a reason; therefore, we should really try to open up our minds and see what the person standing in front of us has to offer. There is no such thing as a person without a message. Ok enough beliefs!  A movie I once saw and enjoyed very much, is the movie "zoolander". My friend and I saw it together and absolutely couldn’t stop laughing! We really enjoy making fun of the male models and trying to mimic the main characters expression. I recommend that you watch it, if you're in the mood for a funny, silly and entertaining movie.  Some of the things I enjoy doing are: dancing, reading, hanging out with friends, and of course eating and sleeping! A pretty interesting (and maybe also pretty weird) hobby I have is trying to rhyme a lot of the things I say. For example:  My name is Shoshi, you're me new homey, were gonna be best buddies-were gonna have awesome wiki parties! ;)  I hope I somewhat entertained you, and that I helped you get to know me even just a little bit better! See you later—alligator!  Shoshi
