I had a dream. I wanted to be a famous tennis player in the world and the truth is, I was pretty good at it. Luckily I had the means to realize my dream; family, money and especially support. Have you ever dreamed? Have you ever had this dream come true? Some children are born with or develop a huge talent and have wonderful dreams! But unfortunately they were unable to make the dream of their great talent. For it was founded **Apex** - a fund to encourage excellence in children and youth was founded. **Apex** is a special program which helps and supports youth in need of financial support. The Fund is working with the Ethiopian community to find the most talented children in the areas of: art, music, school and sports. First when I heard about this special fund, I was very impressed I was determined to help as much as possible because I see this fund is very important, so I chose to volunteer in ** Apex. **  Every year I and Apex choose a few extremely talented children who, with enough support and tools, have potential to achieve excellence and become successful in their field worldwide. I appeal to you, Distinguished Guests, Now when you leave this room, you can choose between two options: You can leave here with the knowledge of a special organization, and choose to not get involved. The second option is to leave here with a decision that you have the ability to help, participate and contribute to the realization of dreams and talents of Children who do not have the opportunity on their own to make their dreams come true. I urge you all to take the second option. Apex needsyou and the next generation of young talented children needsyou.

Hope I have inserted some ads to you.

Thank you and have a nice day.

 This year our school decided the subject of the project will be on Woman of Valor. We decided to write about the tennis player Shahar Pe'er, because she is one of the best female tennis players in the world. She's also an Israeli sports player in the world, and if she likes it or not, she presents Israel in front of the world, and she is successful in doing this in the best way. Our teacher recommended us to do Shahar because we wanted to do someone we know and is not dead.
