Worf's Personal Log - Star Date 228.06
Today in World History I finished the project paper on the Holocaust. I showed my Holocaust book to Mr. Koh, my teacher. The book is called "And G-d Cried" by Charles Lawliss. He looked through it, and he said it was good, and he was very interested in it. I'm going to bring the book back to school tomorrow so Dan, the teacher/aide in the class, can look at it also.
It's not a huge book. It's about 8 x 12 in size. It has the history of the Holocaust laid out with pictures which are pretty graphic showing what the Nazis did in the towns and also in the death camps. There are a lot of dead Jewish people in this book, so that makes it really hard to read.
There are a lot of pictures which illustrate the text. This is important to show people what the death camps looked like, and that the Holocaust really happened, even though that idiot running Iran thinks it didn't.

Worf's Personal Log - Star Date 0220.06
Okay, I'm a Trekkie teen making aliyah to Israel this summer. I like Star Trek, Star Wars, Halo and anything like it on PS-2, Harry Potter, LOTR, The Patriot, cool cars, anything having to do with space and space exploration, being Jewish, Chabad, prayer, having fun, walking my sister's dog, riding my scooter, hanging out with my friends at school.
I don't like homework. I like school a bit, its just that school is tough for me. It's hard. It doesn't help that I'm ADD and really only see out of one eye--the other just doesn't work. I have a lot of motor weakness on my left hand which makes typing painful. So, not only is it hard to read and write/type because of all this, but the ADD on top of it wears me out. Even when I get my homework done, half the time I lose it or forget it, so I have to do it again. Believe me, if I didn't like doing it the first time, I really hate having to do it a second time.
The good thing is I already sort of know Hebrew. I've been studying modern Hebrew since 3rd grade and that and Jewish studies are my favorite subjects. If I could major in Star Trek, I would.....they don't offer a major in science fiction anywhere in Israel, do they?
I'm worried about aliyah. I do want to go to Israel, but I'm afraid of a change this big. I've lived in the same place all my life. I've always spoken English; I know a lot of people here. I'm worried about making friends in Hebrew because I won't speak it that well or that fast and I don't know if guys will be patient with my trying to talk to them in Hebrew. And I don't know Arabic at all. The real work at first is going to ulpan. I met the head of the ulpan for teens in Baka and I liked the ulpan and I think she liked me. I could talk to her a bit in Hebrew. It will be hard to make friends in high school until I speak better Hebrew. Although there was one guy at the high school I liked who told us he wanted to practice 'talking English' with me if I came there.
