Hey,

My name is Yamit Vodavoz. I am 24 years old and I was born in Israel. I transfered from Upper Iowa University and this is my second semester at Reinhardt University. I am majoring in Communication. I'm currently a Sophomore and i'm on the tennis team at Reinhardt. I like Georgia better then Iowa, the weather here is similar to Israel. English is my second language and i'm very interested in studying new languages. My goal for the next three years is to be fluent and speak five different languages. Right now I can speak  Hebrew, English and Spanish. I grew up in a small town, Zlafon (which is close to Jerusalem). I have three brothers, one older than me and two younger. Daniel, 26 years old, is studying Urban Geography at the Hebrew University Of Jerusalem, and is supposed to graduate this year. Uri, 20 years old, has served in the army one year and has one year left. Nir, 17 years old, is a high School student. My whole family plays tennis. My Dad is our coach and we  all practice in our own court at the house almost everyday. I have three dogs. My other favorite sports are Volleyball and soccer.

Serving in the military in my country is mandatory. Girls serve for two years and boys for three. Before coming here to the U.S. I served for two years at the Israeli Air Force and my job required the use of computers. I can't imagine doing my job or even living my daily life without technology. I always planned to study in the U.S. after giving back to my country, as it was very important to me. Now that I'm here technology helps me to still be aware of what is happening back home.
