As a child, I would watch the stars in the night sky from my balcony. I noticed two stars that were close together and I learned their name much later. Now, when I look up at the night sky, I can't tell them apart, but when I'm in a place I don't know, I can spot them right away. They help me find my way and I feel a little lost when I can't see them. They are my special stars.
