Convention Impossible

Event Overview

This is my first USY Convention and it was so much fun. I think the moment I realized everyone was so inviting was during one of the prayers when everyone formed a conga line and I was just sitting. I think I was just observing and someone turned to me and said Are you injured and I was like no and they were like come on, there was like no option. And everyone has been so amazing.  You can literally just go up to anyone and start a conversation and like they will be your best friend and it is so amazing!
