I am back at Regba. Everything went back to normal. The boys are all talking about sports and roughhousing and we fight about the laundry and go to each others host families. I try and do Pilates and Yoga outside but its impossible when your friends try and make faces and throw socks at you to distract you. God your annoying. But what can I do . I love them . they mean a lot to me and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I am reading a lot recently and also have been thinking about the founding of the country. Today we went to a lone soldier day in Ramat Gan. It was nice to hear all the thanks. I really don't know how much sacrifice I made . I am just doing what is right for me. It doesn't feel like anything special. Michael Levin's father spoke. Michael was an incredible person who has always fascinated me. He made Aliyah and joined the IDF and gave his life. He was killed. He was inspirational not because he is the only person I know that actually died for something he believed in, but because the type of person he is said to have been before his death. The type of person that gave himself over to helping others and tried to make Israel a better and different place.
I knocked a whole bunch (don't worry) but still I looked at the other lone soldiers that all together make up a pretty high percentage in the army and thought , damn we are fools to our convictions.
On that note,
I wish you a Shabbat Shalom,
I hope one day you will find a passion that drives you.
Love,
Michali
