To my summer sisters,
Year after year we go to our home away from home and, in that home, I have met my best friends in the entire world...you guys.
Most of us have been going to camp together since the age of 7, but as the years went on our bond became stronger.
I am not really sure what I did to deserve friends like you. Without you, I would not be the person I am today, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Thank you guys for believing in me, even when I did not believe in myself.
Thank you for always standing by my side even when I messed up, you were always there.
Thank you for the endless laughs where we laughed so hard we thought we were getting abs. I may not remember what we were laughing about, but I will always remember how you guys made me feel.
Thank you for being competitive, whether it was in a regular athletics activity or color war, you all were the greatest competition I have ever had.
Most importantly, thank you for giving me the best two months of my life summer after summer. As cliche as it sounds, we really do live ten for two.
Without you guys, I would be a different person. I would not be as outgoing, confident, and I probably would not challenge myself as much.
You all have taught me what a real friend actually is, school friends come and go, but you guys are forever, every single one of you.
Whether it was a late night ridiculous story, dance party on the basketball courts, stargazing on the tennis courts, making our clipboards all night in arts and crafts, being in the Pine Grove on Shabbat, dancing in the gym, Saturday sing, socials, or just sitting by the lake and being in each other's presence, these are moments I will treasure forever.
It's ineffable to put in words everything you guys have given me, but I want you to know you mean the world to me.
No matter where life takes us, I will always be here for you, as I know you will always be there for me. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for all of you special people.
“With the highs and the lows, oh the places we'll go”
I love you guys...OKAY?
-Yours Truly
