Yonina

My name is yonina the meaning of my name is a little bird. I am fifteen and I live in Efrat, near Jerusalem. I'm the eldest in my family, if you'd ask me how I like it I wouldn’t know what to say, my answer would change from day to day. Being the eldest has its advantages but it can also be annoying; I'm expected to do more, act differently and set an example for my siblings, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a good job at that… I love dancing it is my passion! Even as a young girl I took dance lessons and danced all the time. Sometimes I dance instead of wasting my time doing homework, while doing my chores; clearing the table, sweeping the floor…that always drives my mother crazy! I hope one day to maybe do something with my love for dance, I haven’t decided yet what, but maybe one day. I love spending time with my friends, laughing, telling jokes and just hanging out. The thing I hate doing most is making decisions! I hate it so much and I'm not that good at it either. I'm always having a hard time deciding things, most times even the simplest things like what to eat, or what to wear or where to go…

I believe that a person can be influenced by anything and anyone, at any time; therefore you never know when someone is looking at you and might be influenced by what you do, say or think. I believe that looking at the positive side in every situation is always the best thing to do, being a positive person with positive thoughts is also very important and it might reflect who you are. I believe that life is really good! Sometimes we get stuck in all the bad there is in the world, we forget to look around and see how much good surrounds us!!!! Once in a while it's good to stop and smell the roses, shake yourself a bit, laugh and see all the good and remember all we have been blessed with and most importantly-laugh again!!!!!! Sometimes laughter is the answer to everything-try it sometime, it really works! Don’t wait for something big to happen that will make you happy, why not be happy now?!
