Hi everybody, I am Nira, I'm 16, and I live in Arizona. I was born here, but i have gone back and forth a lot. I reald and write Hebrew fluently, and I used to speak also, but i lost a lot of it. (I can still understand though). I went back this summer for the first time in a long time, and while I expected a feeling of satisfaction, it only made me wonder even more where I belong. I stayed with my best friend in Kiryat Gat, and I felt so at home and so safe there that now back here I feel out of place. In December my friend in Tzahal from Kiryat Gat was killed in Gaza, and now I feel terribly guilty for being here. I think thatI want to finish school and even college here, but from there I think that I might want to go back, for good. I thought I was alone in feeling out of place, and I'm glad to be in this journal to know that I am not alone.
B'shalom,
Nira
