I would like to talk about violence. I have experienced violence as a young child from a family member. I have unconditional love for this person and she still is a huge part of my life. As a child, I learned to cope with the abuse by trying to stay out of trouble. When I became a teenager, the abuse became more frequent because I was a mouthy teen and this added fuel to the fire. I spent most of my life trying to do things to please this person and make her happy. I wanted approval from this person and it seemed I could not get the approval I wanted, but when I became an adult it brought a different type of relationship with her.
 I would like to learn more about children of Israel. How do they live with all the disaster and violence within their country? How do their parents protect them and provide for them with the violence and poverty among them.
