I entered into the church for youth group. I was already feeling pretty nervous and shy. I mean I was the new kid. Youth leaders welcomed me warmly. Some of the kids set a quick hello welcome to youth group.

But pretty soon they were all in their own world. So I just sat there quietly. Feeling like an outcast. Like I don’t fit in. Asking myself why did I decide to come here? I felt like I didn’t belong.

I was so glad when his group was finally over. And my parents came to pick me up.
