A Story of A Child

It was 2008, 8th grade at Hod-Hasharon school.
Shira was sportoholic, prefare to be outside, playing with a ball, playing with friends.
It was hard for her to sit in a closed class and focus on the study materials when she can be outside in the open air.
Later on she was diagnosed with a.d.h.d.

As a person who has difficulties in being still, she manged to find a place for her.
The teacher in her class, told the class that two students have to vollenteer for course in firefighting.
Shira jumped at the first appritunity to miss class, but than she realised how much its fun for her.
In the course she learned what to do when a fire start, where to evacuate the people from buildings and to check that the fire extinguisher is up to date.

A few weeks after the course,
Again she sat on one of the benches at school,
Outside the class,
Thinking what she can do with her time,
Bored but intusiastic for other things.

Suddenly she saw smoke coming out of one of the air conditioner of the higher floor classes.
She jumped for action with two of the course friends, cleared all of the classes, asked one of the teacher to call the firehouse, took the heavy fire extinguisher to the upper floor and controlled the fire.

To this day she has fire in her eyes,

Looking for any chance to help others,
At this event she found a place to use courge and to lead people. She now understands that a weakness in one aspect can be impowering in another aspect.
