The way to the u.s.a.
by shai-ly almog
Every year I go to the U.S.A and attend a summer camp in Florida. I travel on my own. I visit my aunt when I am there.
When I first went to the U.S.A it was hard to get used to the social environment because the language was difficult and it was a foreign country with different ways. I was without my parents support and I thought that I wouldn’t fit into society. It was hard to talk to the new people I met but I started settle in and I not only enjoyed being with them but also improved my English and made a lot of friends. We spent time watching movies after camp.
Last year I went to a camp that was a travelling camp. We travelled to an aquatic park for a week. We went to baseball game in Miami stadium. After this we went to Club Med for two weeks. It was such fun because every day in the morning at ten fifteen I played tennis and I got a gold medal. I went swimming a lot and in the evening my group saw a High School Musical show. The last evening my group put on the musical Captain Cook and I was Tinker Bell the fairy.
During the last two weeks we played Maccabi games: soccer, basketball and dodge ball. We played against the teachers who threw the ball very hard and they won.
In the two months I learned a lot: I learned how to make friends and how to speak English and how not to be afraid to be alone. It was a very good experience.
In June of this year I am returning to America. Hopefully I am going to a music camp in Los Angeles. I hope to enjoy the experience of playing music.
