tamara_russoToday's Ilanit's birthday. Ilanit was my perach girl six years ago, when she was 12, and today she turns 18.
This project resembles the "Big brother, Big sister" project in the states - only it's very structured and organized, and you get a scholarship for it. It's meant for students, and each one is assigned a child they meet twice a week for a whole year
I needed the money, back then, so I signed up. My instructor (a job I would have fulfilled later on, when I will have started my engineering studies) assigned me Ilanit, saying she was shy and lonely. She was, for about a second, and we had a wonderful year together.
When the year ended we said goodbye, and spoke only on her birthday or mine for a few years, until we stopped.
I have a younger brother, but she was (is) my younger sister, and I hope she knows I still think of her.
But it's just weird. She's 18 now. A senior in school, she'll probably go to the army next year. She was a child when I knew her. Oh, dear.
