Elian Cohen

My monolog:

One day my mom came to me and says: “Elian, your father and I talk about it and we decided that we going to live in America”.

I didn’t know what to say, I just cry. It was the second time in my life that I really cry. It was hard for me to accept my parent decision. I didn’t know what I’m going to do? Were I’m going to live? I love my country, I have beautiful country, the people are great, my friends are amazing and Tel-Aviv is the best place in the world. But I’m going to be in this haven place without my family, the people that always be there for me, tells my the true, support me, love my as I love them…. I didn’t speak, I just cry…no one could understand me.

My mom says to me: you see, your friends will start there own life: college, family, trips to see the world, and you will stay here alone. This is the way of life… I guess she’s right although I’m not agreed.

After few mounts I tell my friends that I’m going to live in N.Y, they were surprise and sad, but they comfort me and says: hey you going to live in N.Y it’s the center of the world, it’s the big apple, -we will visit you-. And that’s how it was, almost all of my friends came. It makes my very happy because of that it doesn’t seams so bad.

But still, every day I’m thinking about my home, my real home- the place that I belong to. I always be the Israeli girl.  🙂

I am a optimist girl I keep looking at the glass as half full than empty. I think that everything that happens happens for the better.
I am also a strong girl. In the recent years I went through a lot of things and never gave up and thats how I’ve grown.

My concern about my first year in college is to get high marks even though my English. That’s what would prove to me that if I want I can, all up to me eventually.
My other concern is that Iwant  to understand the american culture so I will not hurt anyone because I have come from somewhere else entirely, where all laughs there and here everything seemed serious so I want to know that I do not offend someone unintentionally. 

Transition between high school and college is very significant because in high school teachers had  remind us  about every ting- quiz tests even if we had two exams that day, they removed one test. here in college all at your own however you feel more grown up.
its change the person, he became more responsible, sound, mature, ready for the real life.

If I can get good grades I want it to make me believe in myself more and know that I am able. Because at first I had a lot of concerns about the study a new language in a foreign country. we’re talking here about  college is  very important.
I wish my class members and i have academic success
and alot of fun 🙂
