The Power of Seven

I recently realized seven is an important number in my life. I am seven years older than my one and only cousin. Seven has always been my lucky number. It is year 2007... OK, I'm stretching it, but the most important correlation is there are seven girls in my group back home. These girls are my life. They were my best friends from growing up, and will be my best friends in the future. You name, and we have probably been through it together. We know each other inside and out, and can read each other like a book. Moving beyond the cheesy, cliché sayings of how well we know each, these girls inspire me. They motivate me to do my best, whether it is through friendly competition or supportive encouragement. I really look to them for approval because I know many times they are able to see things I am not. Each one of us is so immensely different that I believe they have helped me have a broader perspective and become a more well rounded person. With all of us spread through out the country in different colleges, it is amazing to me how we all may be changing in different directions but when we are reunited again, its like we never left each others sides.... and there I go again with the cheesy sayings....
