I couldn't believe it when Lauren called to tell me she was accepted to her top choice college in Boston.

I couldn't believe it when Lauren called to tell me she was accepted to her top choice college. We've been best friends since elementary school and I knew just how much this opportunity meant to her. All those late nights studying and extracurricular activities had paid off big time. I wanted to get her something special to celebrate this huge accomplishment. That's when I spotted the delicate gold necklace with her birthstone on the SHE.SAID.YES website. The delicate design was so Lauren. I knew as soon as I saw it that it was perfect. On graduation day, I gave it to her wrapped in tissue paper. The look on her face when she opened it was priceless. Tears welled up in her eyes as she threw her arms around me. Four years of hard work had led her to that moment and I was so proud to play a small part in marking the occasion. Wherever her future takes her, I know that necklace will remind her of the people who supported her dreams.
