Sorry

Hi dear reader,

I would love to write the story of my family, a Jewish family who had to escape from Algeria during its war of Independence.

Should I tell you that I’m a bad loser or just tell that competition attracts me a lot?

I’d like to write about my passion for art and the big importance I give to theatre.

Do you think it’s too personal to write that I took some baths in the backstage of a Spanish theatre when I was three month old?

Is it more important for you to know that I’m a soy sauce fan or that making collages relaxes me a lot?

Do you think it’s valuable to say that at the age of 11 I went to Brazil for a month on my own?

I don’t know if I should write about my name’s origin rather than explain the feeling of freedom I have when I’m dancing.

Do you think I should talk about hatred I have towards poodles or the love I have to my turtle and my cat?

I’d like to tell you about people I met who changed the person I am.

Should I write about my big sense of humor or about how serious and organized I can be?

Is it interesting to say that as a child I used to go to the playground with my mom but instead of playing with the other children I was seated on a bench observing them.

In the case it’s interesting do you think I should link it with the fact that I couldn’t stand to be at the children’s table during the dinner?

Is it crucial to write about the feeling I had to have all the pain of the world on my shoulder on the 8^th of January 2015?

Do I have to add that the day before was my fourteenth anniversary?

Is it crucial to transmit what a teacher told me when he saw me crying?

Do I have to quote all the stupid questions some people asked me?

Do I have to justify myself?

Is it arrogant to say that I felt like if I were the only one concerned and that I needed to do something?

Do you think I should explain how I acted?

Is it relevant to speak about how I started to get involved in the life of my school?

Do you think student representatives are important?

Do you think I should revolt, saying that children are not considered as they should?

Do you think it’s too tragic to write in big letters that WE HAVE AN OPINION?

Do I have to mention the creation of a debate club at school called: Republic’s Ambassadors.

Do you think it’s heroic or just normal to offer help to people in need by giving them a fruit and a coffee every Friday morning?

Do you think I should stop this presentation?

Do you think it should give more attractive details?

More intimate?

Do you need to know my name?

Do you think you know me better now?
