NICE!

Here is a bit of good news. For a country the size of Israel to be able to send kids to an international scholastic competition is incredible. For the kids to come back with medals is even more a feat! Not too bad for a little country. A good friend of mine competed in a scholastic competition in high school, international level, he said it was tough and the competition is fierce. So with all that said; isn’t it incredible that these youngsters to such great advantage of not only being outstanding, but for showing the world how outstanding they are!

‘Assaf Mauda, 16, of Pardes Hanna, He intends to study at the Technion after his military service.’

It is Incredible how such a young teenager can be so strong. Such a grown up decision and level headed as well. In today’s society it is refreshing to see children who know who they are, and who they want to be.

Is this realization of one’s self, a product of childrearing or a product of the environment? If the same teenager lived in America, would he have the same views and opinions? Would he be the best he could be, or get up in all of the fan fair that surrounds being a good student, or rather a geek? Would this child have the same love for life, or would he be just another ‘smart’ kid in a entire bunch of smart kids?
Whatever the case…I wish him luck in all of his future endeavors.
