Final blog

Before I came on EIE, Israel did not mean much in my life. The only things I ever heard about it were negative or about terrorist attacks. When people found out I was coming here for four months I was frequently asked why I was coming to such a dangerous place   and told that I would probably die in a terrorist attack. I'd been to Israel before so I told everyone that it would be fine but I didn't really care enough to stand up for Israel in detail. After being in Israel for so long I've realized I need to educate the people at home who don't know a lot about the situation on what's happening here. I hope I can help people see the less popular side of the issues here. I also want to continue looking at Israeli current events when I get home. I want to be able to stay connected with what's happening here. I feel like if I know the current events of Israel when I get back to America I will be better able to help people understand the current situations. All in all I know even when I'm no longer in Israel, a part of Israel will always be with me.
