My Home

My home here in Georgia has its ups and downs. I like where I live and the school that I go to. Living in the states is much different from living in Israel. I would much rather live in the states than live in Israel. The down part of living in the states is that almost all of my family lives in Israel. The overall advantage that I have by living in the states is having much more of a privilege and a better opportunity to accomplish my goal in life. Anyone has much more of a chance in pursuing their dream by living in the states. I enjoy living in the states because I’ve grown to like where I live, after living in the states for eleven years I’ve gotten used to the American lifestyle, I wouldn’t want to change. The friends I have, the American customs and traditions, music and movies that I enjoy, are much too different from those of any other country. Although Atlanta may be seen as a very quite city it is still very active. Atlanta consists of public parks, malls, and other gathering type of events. Downtown Atlanta is more of the city area of Atlanta, a lot of outings and state events take place there. Another reason that I enjoy Atlanta is because it borders many other states enabling me to visit other states on vacation. Unlike Israel, in the states everyone is able to decide whether they would like to join the army, it’s not mandatory. As I mentioned earlier, almost all of my family lives in Israel, only my mother’s side of the family lives here in the states. This consists of my uncle, aunt, cousins, and grandparents. Although my grandparents don’t live in Georgia so I only see them on certain holidays. I have gone to visit my grandparents twice, they live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have actually visited many other states. I have visited North and South Carolina, Florida, New York, and many several other states. I really enjoy site-seeing, other than Israel, the only other country outside of the states that I have visited is Belarus.
