ouch! my leg.
it was a hot day, spring, everyone was having fun at the park, me especially, i just got a new bike and i was tryingto do new tricks.
after a while of riding my bike with my friends, we saw a ramp, it wasnt very big, but i remember seeing it as huge. point is, we tried jumping it, someone infront of me fell and i landed on his bike, and somehow, i broke my tibia and perone in 3 places each. it was a slow and painful recovery. but i still got on my bike the day the doctor took the cast off. -
a genius, really?
my mom took me a week before to the university of Tel Aviv to get an IQ exam, appereantly i was a young genius, a lot of potencial. i never knew the results of the test untill a couple of years later because i never asked, it never really mattered to me; i am who i am, a paper wasnt gonna change me. -
back to guatemala
on this day, we came back to Guatemala. for good. we came back because my mom was having economic problems there and she needed help, my grandfather got her a job here in guatemala and my mom decided it was time to move again. it was a horrible day to me, i remember some sort of pain in my heart, a pain that hasnt healed yet and it might never will. everything i knew, every single memory i had was from Israel, every single friend, they were my family. it was hard for me to leave, but we had to. -
bar mitzvah
the bar mitzvah is a sacred jewish act that a boy has to perform when he reaches the age of 13, it involves reading from the torah which is the sacred book for my people, basically is out history and our beliefes. -

i didnt pass a year, i tbhink mostly because i wanted to go back to israel, i missed everyone. it was a dumb thing to do, and i do regret it -
a dissapointment to the family
on that day, my mom got a call and she called me to her room. she told me she was dissapointed in me, not even mad, dissapointed, because i could od much better than that. I got kicked from my old school. -
KYOOL
on that day, following a summer of being constantly told i was a dissapointment to my family, i entered "Centro Escolar Kyool". i liked this school, i chose it from many schools. I think what i liked the most was that its small, smaller classes, smaller everything.
i met alot of friends who are actually worth being kept, not just any type of friends, the friends u can count on forever. -
mickey mouse
first time i went to disney world, to orlando actually. actually, first time i remember of... i went once when i was 2 years old, but that doesnt count. i went there with my little sister and my mom. we stayed in orlando for 10 days, had a blast. the parks were great, the hotel was awesome, and just spending some time with my mom and my sister made the trip much better.
