About Me

My story how I did come to Israel:

To Israel I moved from Ukraine with my mom when I was 8.5 years old

(August 12, 1993). It was really hard to leave Ukraine, because there I was

born, had good friends, school and I knew everyone I wanted.

When we came to Israel in city Tiberias, my dad already

was here (since 1991), he was waiting for us in Israel, he just wanted make

all the things in here and everything will be ready when we will come in Israel.

He bought an apartment and everything we needed, so when I came in here everything was ready for us. When I came to Israel it was very strange place

to me, it was a night and I saw only deserts and was thinking to where did I

come? So we did everything in the port and then went to the taxi, there I was sleeping a little because I didn't sleep in the plain at all. So when my dad met me in the morning I already saw beautiful city, then I met my cousins and my grandmother, I was happy to see them, I was a shy girl so I didn't talk a lot.

My grandmother gave me a present, it was a big and beautiful doll. Anyway I

went to my grandmother and my cousins, everything was perfect!!!

In Israel was really hard to understand the strange language I didn't know and

new culture of people but with the time everything was o.k. I met new friends

and I liked them. When came the time to start school I was afraid, I needed go

to the 3rd grade but I went to the 2nd grade. My parents were thinking that if I'll

go to the 2nd grade it will be much better to me with the language and studies.

So I went to the 2nd grade and not to the 3rd grade.

With the time I already became accustomed with the school and another stuff.

I really liked my childhood in Israel, it was get time for thoughts.
