Shachar Abeba and Amit Lender

12th grade

Guttman Comprehensive School in Netanya, Israel

"My mother is very proud of me - mainly because of school" said Shachar Abeba, "I used to come home with low scores and my mother would be angry. Today, the fact that I am happy to go to school and bring home good scores and the fact that I have an opportunity to complete a full matriculation makes her extremely happy. The school helped me mature and taught me to believe in myself and my abilities."
"Our school caters to every individual," Amit Lender adds, "the strong students and the weak ones; The ones with learning problems and others with social problems; the outstanding students and the struggling ones. This is not just a cliché –everyone has a place in the huge heart of this staff. "
