I walked through the open glass doors like the lonely kid, just like many times before. High school, it's where my mother said I will meet my true life long friends the ones that will throw me surprise birthday parties and ease my broken heart when the then "Mr. Right" broke up with me. I never had that, those girls you call to go to the mall with or giggle with about guys until I walked through those glass doors, the ones that looked wide open waiting for me to come to change my life in endless ways and to bring sunshine just one more hour longer took a big gasping breathe and had my first night at youth group. Walking through those doors I have meet three people who have changed my life in unthinkable ways, the ways of giggling on the phone till endless hours, baking cookies, and most importantly our favorite calzones. I grew up with these three girls and we just lost touch but seeing them in that room with a gigantic smile on their face gave me that comfortable feeling, the feeling of warmth and knowing that this is where I belong. This is when my mother was right for once, I have meet those people, the ones who know my every wish, dream, and better yet understand who I am and love me for me. My friends are Jewish, and so am I not too long ago I was afraid of telling people who I am and my beliefs but now I"m proud to let them know. I thank my friends for showing me there is nothing to be afraid of and for showing me what true friends are, for having someone to giggle with and most importantly for being there.
