My name is Matthew Vardi, I am 6' Ft tall and 15 years old. I live in Israel with my mom, my father and two brothers live back in New York, I moved here to Israel two months ago due to my parents getting divorced. I plan to move back when I'm 18. When i heard i was moving i wasnt very happy,But now that I'm here it really isn’t that bad. I attend "Kugel High School" and I love it here. So far I have many friends and they're all so nice it's unbelievable.

Some of my hobbies include playing basketball, football and talking to my friends. Talking to my friends is very important for me now as I lived in New York for the majority of my life and I need to keep in touch with all of them. In my spare time I enjoy watching T.V and spending time on the computer. I love going out on Saturday night and sometimes Friday. Back in New York I didn’t have school on Sundays but here I do, so that’s one less day for me to have off of school.

School here is very interesting. Its completely different regarding the schedule and the way the teachers come to your class, rather than you switching around every 45 minutes to a different classroom. Sitting down for two hours in a double period can get pretty boring. Some of my favorite classes include English, Math, and Science. I chose these three subjects because they have to do with what I learned last year so its a bit easy for me and some of it I am really good at English. I lived in the United States for my whole life and now that I live here learning English is easy and fun.

School in Israel may be different but it doesn't matter what school you go to, what matters is what you're learning in the school. So far Israel has met my expectations and I'm looking forward to a great year in high school. Life in New York is way easier in my opinion than living here and all of the bad things I expected from moving to Israel turned out as a surprising relief because its not that different in some ways.I enjoy living in Israel and I hope I will keep enjoying it for another three years until I move back to the US. That pretty much sums me up.

Good work. I found it well organized, clear and most importantly - interesting!
