I have a great way to give back to your communitiy.
Its easy (most of the time), fun (all the time), and life changing (for you).
BE A BIG.
We have a Big Brothers Big Sisters organization here in Harvey County.
I would suggest you check it out and get a little more info here.
This is my second year being a Big Sister. This is my Little Sister, Destiny.
Sorry its a little fuzzy.
She is a 3rd grader this year and we have lots of fun together. We hang out once a week for about an hour here.
And I am surrounded by this...
We read, do math flashcards (I now know my 12's multiplication table), and sometimes just play games or chat. We do have a good time. And, I notice a difference in my attitude and hers after each meetings. Within the last year, I have seen notable changes in Destiny's performance and attitude toward school in general. It is so amazing to see that one person who cares about her day-to-day work and performance changes her attitude towards it.
Check it out. Make a new friend. And you can change a life.
