19-year-old Second Lieutenant Sheli drafted in December 2014 as a volunteer. She was exempted from service due to being born with a hearing disability.

After giving her all in the Education Corps for a year, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an officer. In December 2015, Sheli entered Officers Training Course and finished last month. She is now a proud officer in the IDF.
