Q1 2013 anniversaires

The sky is the limit

By Big Brother Austin

I first met Mike in 1997 when we were matched through the Big Brothers program in Atlanta. He was nine years old at the time—a quiet kid with a big smile, a curious mind, and an interest in sports. I was impressed right way with his intelligence.

Opportunity to Be the Difference

By Big Sister Leticia (Letty)

I went to say goodbye to my “Little” today and I must say, it took a lot not to break down and cry. Mentoring a child has been very fulfilling and truly rewarding. I remember when I first met Grecia and she asked me to spell every word and could hardly read. As a 4th grader, I knew she needed to make progress really fast!

I didn’t realize the possibilities

By Big Sister Kasheena

When I was in high school, I was a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. The program was only during the school year and I could only meet with my Little Sister during school hours. After our time together during the summer, she moved away.

He offers so much

By Big Brother B. Quick

In May 2000 when Kevin came into my life as my Little Brother paired through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, I expected an opportunity to teach this young man a thing or two about life, love, friendship and culture. While he is an outstanding student, improving each and every year I’ve known him, he is a better teacher…to me.
