My trip to Palestine..

I grew up in Palestine, a village near Ramallah. after my freshmen year of high school my dad decided to move to the United States. I spent three years there, finished high school ,and each and every year i  dreamed of going back to Palestine to my little village back there.

The day had come, I finished my  senior year of high school ,after ten days of my graduation ceremony we were on a plane heading back to Palestine me and all my six siblings .We were extremely happy of returning , even though the journey was a big struggle. here it begin .... of course there is no airport in Palestine so we have to fly to Jordan first, stay a night or two there. the next day at 6am the journey continues we have to go throgh Constance check points from the Jordanian side.A check point after another.with  the heat of July in the desert of Jordan was ridiculous, hours and hours waiting on lines to get your passport checked, to get your bags checked.

there it is 6 hours on the Jordanian side DONE .

now we should enter Palestine. what do we find not a Welcome To Palestine sign .of course ,not as if we were expecting one , but its always good to dream a little. we find soldiers with there guns and there green uniform.and it begins... 

another 7 hours of torture at the Israeli check points. of course if you make any move they don't like they can ship you out with the most non-reasonable  reason, so you cant give then no attitude no nothing, just smile while they throw your passport at you after being checked. well after another 6 hours it ENDED. 

Finally were on a bus heading to Jericho to get picked up by relatives as soon as i set a foot in Jericho a tear comes down, i say to my self now this is PALESTINE.

each and every moment i spent there was more then precious, as i entered the village i grew up in tears of joy started coming down,seeing my uncles and aunts welcoming us was absolutely amazing.

i spend the best 40 days of my life there. now i'an back to the sates.but my dream is to finish my education here and go to Palestine, live there forever.
