Our Origin Story
In the mind of a 10-year-old missing this camping trip was detrimental, but looking back on it now as a 16-year old I am grateful because it was when our friendship first began.

In the fifth grade, we had a camping trip that my parents had not allowed me to go on. I was sad because I thought I was going to be the only one to stay back. There was another girl who has also stayed back, so I went up to her to talk since she was lonely. From that day forward we became good friends.
