The school bells ringing, finally im free from school. Let the summer begin. My name is Jabrill Salahi , I’m twelve years old and I live in gaza strip with my mother and four brothers and two sisters. My brothers names is Hamudi that is 8 years old , Yasin that is 11 years old, Amin that is 10 years old, Ibrahim that is 7 years old and my two sisters, Miriam that is 19 and Zeinab that is 17. We have a father that is arrested by the Israeli government because they said he’s a member of The Hamas terror group. I haven’t seen him since I was six years old. The only time me and my family can see him is when he or we have birthday then we can visit him. But it is very difficult to see him, because there are sometimes the Israeli soldiers that say to us that our passport to enter the prison is unavailable. So we were always hoping one of the soldiers have a heart to send us in to visit him. I have two best friends, Ali and Yusuf. We always hang out with the other kid in the streets playing The Can Wall game. The things we need to play this game that we have to get a lot of cans and stones. We are four in a team the one team who take all the cans down win. Ali, Yusuf and me grandparents made this game the reason they call it can wall is because when the Jews made the big wall and checkpoints they Palestinians try to throw everything to break the wall. When we were done we ran to the olive trees field to lay on the grass and just imagining those dreams that will come true. Ali was hoping that he will be a doctor to help the children that are injured, while Yusuf laugh at him and said ¨Who will need doctors when I grow up I will be the general of Palestine and take our great grandparents land again. I just look at them arguing while I’m laughing at them, I also got one but I don’t want to tell them because they will probably laugh or hate me for that. My only dream is to have the best childhood and want to go out of this country. It’s always people that don’t like each other then make a war out of it. When I’m home me and brothers and sisters seeing American movies and we just talk about they have a great life there is nothing to fear. But when our mother is coming we directly change channel. My mom will always make a big explanation that they are the cause of it and we shall be happy that we are home in our holy country and we will never fear anyone beside Allah the almighty. Is time to sleep and I said first I will sleep on the ground because Hamudi is always peeing in the bed. It was just an excuse to sneak out at night. While everyone is sleeping I ran up to the balcony and look at the stars I always try to count the stars and I just looking for a shooting star then I close my eyes and try to wish but I didn’t work I always think is not a shooting star but a rocket that the Israeli are firing. Man a life in America that is wonderful I can get basket ball and play just like Michael Jordan or get some boxing gloves and fight like Mohammed Ali and ride on a bike eat the food have friends that not only thinking about that you will be a soldier or a doctor when they grow up just normal friend that only thinking about your life.
