Where my Mom is From:

             My mom is from Israel. She was born there and moved to the US when she was around ten years old. My mom was born in the city of Afula, which is in the northern part of Israel. However, she lived in Jerusalem most of the time when she was in Israel. She has two brothers, one younger and one older. The schools in Israel are much different then the schools here. In Israel, kids go to school six days a week, from Sunday to Friday. When my mother was in fourth grade, she had 21 subjects! Israel is a Jewish country, but there are also Christians and Muslims living there. Israel is on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and my mom spent many summers swimming in the warm waters. However she had to watch out for the jellyfish!!! Even though my mom lived in America for many years, she still feels that Israel is her true home.
