__ The Everlasting Trip to Israel __ I have many memories. Some are good and some are bad. This particular memory is a really good one, one that would be fun to experience again. When I was 5 years old, my whole family took a trip to Israel. Since I was so little, I don’t remember a lot, but I remember the most important parts. The most amazing part was that during school we always celebrate all the Israeli’s holidays and learned about the country. This time, I was actually there and got to see everything for myself. Just like when Jonas received the good memories from The Giver he felt good and happy. When I think of Israel I think of 8th Grade. In 8th grade my grade and I are going to Israel as a school trip. It’s what every kid in Middle School and Elementary School think about doing. Israel is really important to everyone at our school because it’s the homeland of the Jews. We learn about it throughout all the years at attending Epstein. We also have teachers from Israel which makes it even better because you get to hear their personal experiences in being in Israel. They also go back to Israel to visit their relatives if they have any. Going to Israel takes a long time but in the end, it’s worth it. I am even more excited to go back to Israel because I will get to do more things than I did when I was young. I will be ably to do more things because we will have more time and I will be with my grade which makes the experience a lot more fun! If I didn’t have the memory of going to Israel when I was younger I would probably be less excited about my trip. I would not know what to pack which makes it really hard. I would also think that it would be so hot I wouldn’t be able to bare it. Without knowing what s in store for me, I would be a lot less happy. I am so excited about going to Israel next year, and I know I will make even more memories.
