Big Brothers Big Sisters

After several months of going through the interview process and classes, I am finally a Big Sister! I chose this organization to volunteer at because I wanted to start volunteering with something that can be long term and really have an affect on someone and myself. I couldn't think of one better for myself then Big Brothers Big Sisters. I love children and I miss my family so much and especially getting to see my little sister continue to grow into a young woman. Although the process took a while I can tell that it was well worth the wait! I met my little sister two days ago, her name is Ki'Yana. She is beautiful and very outgoing. She really enjoys playing and baking. We decided that going to a park would be our first thing to do with one another. After the park I plan to bring her back to my place and bake some cupcakes with her to celebrate my birthday together. When she saw that my birthday was this week she was very excited! So I thought she would really enjoy baking cupcakes and making them all different colors. I also went to Michael's and bought some beads and string so we can make bracelets with each others name on it or say sister or something. I will let her choose. I can't wait to start sharing everything about my life with her and really getting to know her. I plan to help her with her reading and writing skills and just be someone she really looks up to.
