Post 17

The most embarrassing moment of my life was when I was about 14 years old. It was during summer at my Jewish sleep-away camp. My age group had just come from the sporting section of our day and it had been particularly hot out. Walking into the dining hall was like a blessing from God himself as the air conditioning immediately cooled us down. Almost the entire camp was inside the hall and into the three assigned sections. While heading towards my section, me and my friends noticed that for lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup. Literally everybody's favorite meal on campus. And already being incredibly hungry, we ran towards our seating section. I was running faster than my friends which at first didn't occur to me; I was always the slowest runner out of everyone. Before I could look back to see why no one else was running as fast as me, I looked up and saw the food, and then slammed into the glass door! I hadn't realized that the incredibly deceiving glass doors had been closed and that's why my friends hadn't been running as fast as me. I bounced off the heavy glass with a loud thwack in front of the entire camp, kitchen and camp staff included. I was completely mortified.
