“Many Arabs and Jews ask me why I joined the IDF,” Shirin tells her friends. “Especially Jews who hear that I'm an Arab and don't understand what business I have in the army and why I enlisted. It must be the good education I received at home.”
Shirin was drafted [last year] and underwent a youth instructors' course. “I give the students a lesson about the first draft notice, IDF enlistment, and the jobs the army has to offer. In addition, I hold personal conversations with each student with the aim of encouraging them to have a significant and contributing service. The students applaud me for my decision to volunteer, enlist, and make a contribution to the State.”
Shirin concludes, “I am very proud of my military service. I have always dreamed of joining the IDF and making a contribution to my country.”
