I got this for my boyfriend after I heard he would be gone for a month on a business trip overseas. I surprised him by giving the necklace to him at the airport before he left. During the trip, he sent me pictures from attractions he visited, and in every picture, he was wearing it. Amazing. (Posted on 5/30/13)

My name is Samantha Delgado i am nor a senior at Downey high. I spent my freshman and sophmore year at Lynwood high, that's where i met the love of my life Helena M'lyn Jones. We both fell in love at first sight, fate brought us together in health class in the bungalos with coach lee. Unfortunatly i already took that class so i had to switch out and my heart sunk. The thought of never seeing her again scared me. So i did the only thing logical and tried looking for her everywhere, little did i know she was looking for me to. One faithful day after seeing eachother on and off she asked for my number. It was novermber 3, 2010 i was at the bank with my two older brothers and father. Before her i never had an intrest in other women so i was scared. i didn't know if i should refuse or accept since i was going to church and i was taught it was wrong. I remember thinking to my self how can this be wrong something so heart warming so real. out of every past boyfriend i've been with not one man ever made me feel the way she did. So i asked my brother who whent to the same school as me and he was able to see that i did like her more than a friend and reasured me that love is love nomatter if your lesbian or not. Not taking any moment of hessitation after he said that i accepted her offer of becoming a couple. i was never ashamed of being the true me but i was a bit drastic. as i seen hetrosexual couples in the open kissing and holding hands i started realizing that my girlfriend was scared to show her love for me as her partner in public. it was not something she chose to do she was never ashamed of me but society pushed her to hide her love because of previos experience. i quickly wanted to change that,so i started slowly easing her to the public one day i took her to an empty bench in the middle of campus during lunch. This is not something i regret doing but it did have its consequenses. she got a huge talking to my a security at the school whom kept harassing her after because he knew her father. not long after she was expelled from the school they said it was for other reasons but everyone even some school staff knew it was because that school officer wanted her gone for being a lesbian. i left that school as soon as possible and did not return the next year. She began her senior year at Inglewood and i began my Junior year at Downey our love was inseperable dispite our distance. my parents knew and where fully supportive of course my dad still does not like the idea because he's a biptised christian that has never experienced the full beauty of love disregaurding your sex, but my mom has and she would take me to her house as often as she possibly could. as for her family she keeps our relationship as a low although her mom sees' our love she keeps it in mind that it's nothing but a phase a refuses to see it for what it truley is. we have been inseperable for almost two years in two months and there are no signs of us slowing down. i love that girl with all my heart and my passion to help the lgbt commutity keeps on moving. i am now the known president of the gay straight alliance at my school and i try to keep equallity at an all time high no matter where i am.
