One Woman's Description Of Why Her Aliyah Was Succesful

I do not, and have not regretted or questioned my decision to make Aliyah.

Even once since I opened my Tik with the Jewish Agency in October of 2006 right up until now. Not to say I haven't encountered ˜challenges". I am in my third apartment, and my 5th job.  But one can have these issues in the US, especially these days.

I firmly believe that my Aliyah has been successful because, in addition to all the great things listed on the attached document, I DECIDED that it was going to be successful. All I needed to do was work out all the details.

For anyone considering making Aliyah-while having a contingency plan in mind to address the remote possibility that you would ever return to the  US permanently, consider the following comment I made to my friends when they asked me why I would sell my house, what if I have to come back?

I knew they just didn't want me to go because they would miss me. But, as I told them, if I am making plans for what I would do if it doesn't work out, then why am I going in the first place? My Aliyah IS GOING TO WORK. Period.

And it has.
