Thing that has shaped my identity

One thing that has shaped my identity is meeting and being friends with Sara. We met when we were in 7th grade. Sara is a very outgoing person who loves to have fun. I am kind of quiet but I also love to have fun. Sara and I hated each other at first but once we realized how much we had in common we clicked. We started hanging out together outside of school. We would go shopping and have sleepovers. Sara invited me to her youth group one night and that night changed my life. I loved it. Sara kept inviting me back, so I kept going. She invited me to a conferece called Acquire the Fire and that was when I became a Christian. This is the biggest way that Sara has helped shape my identity.

We became the best of friends and were immediately unseperable. We would have weekend long sleepovers were we would do anything from talk to rearrange her room. Sara helped me open up to people I didn't know and accept people that weren't like me. We evened each other out. She helped me become more outgoing and I helped her settle down. Sara is one of the main reasons that I am the person I am today. I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything in the world.
