I am Rifka.
I am twelve years old.
I live in a small village in Russia.
My father is a rabbi.
My mother is a homemaker.
I have two brothers and one sister.
We are a poor family.
But we are happy.
I love to read.
I love to write.
I love to learn.
I want to be a teacher.
I want to help children learn.
I want to make the world a better place.
I know that I can do it.
I am Rifka.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am determined.
I will never give up.
I will achieve my dreams.
I will make a difference in the world.
**I am Rifka,
And I am here to stay.**
