You're probably scrolling down all these boring Autobiography's and waiting for the bell to let you free… Well you're in luck, because this specific autobiography is **awesome**! Take a deep breath and be ready to be amazed.

You can call me superman that is because my dream is to fly. Some people sleep walk, I sleep fly.

I'm the fifth child out of six, I have 2 older sisters, 2 older brothers and a younger sister, and of course 2 amazing parents. Its funny how everybody thinks they have the best family, sorry to disappoint you all, but there is actually not a possibility to have a more perfect family then me. What can I say; I'm lucky to be part of such an awesome family!

My dad and two older brothers never gave me the choice if to like sports or not. The minute I was able to walk, I was running. The minute I was able to hold a toy, I had in my hand a baseball or football. I'm playing sports since I can remember myself. If its baseball, soccer, football, tennis or basketball.

Two years ago I was part of the national Israeli boys team, the only girl an the all boys team. The boys saw me and laughed, but they were quiet with there eyes torn wide open once they saw my fast ball. We flew to Tzech for a week; I played pitcher and short stop. It was amazing, singing the Jewish anthem "Hatikvah" before every game. Standing on the pitchers mound wearing blue and white jerseys and a skirt, full of pride, when a hundred years age Jews couldn’t walk in the streets because they were scared of anti-Semitism. We came back to Israel with honor, wearing a bronze medal around our necks.

I love spending time with my family. If it's playing sports together, driving in the car with windows down blasting music, watching a good movie while eating junk food or just hanging out having a good time.

A little bit about ma awesome family- My mom is a social worker, and is the one of the nost amazing people in thie world, she always knows what to do and say, shes able to make everything sound simple and amazes me every time with all she does besides for being my mom. My dad is the coolest dad ever, he has a company that does helps people get closer to G-D and to themselves, it's a really cool thing. He's a sports dad; he never misses a Mets or a Giants game. All I have done in my life is because ma parents, they were the ones who pushed me to do nationals and to really take advantages of my talents. They are at every sport game I have, sounds easy but it gets hard when I have 1 soccer game, 1 football game and 2 baseball games a week. But it doesn’t matter they are always ther; cheering me on. What can I say- I love them and owe them my life. My oldest sister, Shachar is 25 married to zev, and working as a teacher for theater. Next there is maayan who is 23, married to elishav, they gave birth to my 2 year old niece, Uri. Who is with no doubt the cutest kid ever.(Every time you ask her how her day was she says- awesome…) since Uri was such a success they decided to have another one. (she's pregnant.) Then there is amichai my 21 year old soldier, I call him solja boy, like the song… Were really close, and day were going to take over the world together. Next, yaniv, a naughty 19 year old, you see him and you can almost see the wheels of his brain planning a crazy idea. Hes in "mechina" it’s a program before the army. He's there most of the week but when he's home we make sushi together and crack jokes. Who ever doesn’t have older brothers doesn’t know what they are missing. My brothers are always looking out for me, protecting me; and teaching me all I need to know about life. I come next. Then there is my younger sister, people are always surprised when I say that I love her! Were best friends, we shared a room for like 8 years, you would be surprised how close you get from late at night whispering. Since I was young we've always had a dog, right now we have Jessie, a 2 year old Springer spaniel.. When I go running she comes with me, its hard to keep up with her; she takes off like a bullet, and as if to off, shell stop look back at where I am. Wait for me to catch up and take off again. When I'm not a sports field I'm playing drums, chilling with friends and family or just appreciating my awesome life! You probably thought my name is superman, but it's actually Ra'aya.
