So, I applied to be a Big Brother back in November. This has been something that I've wanted to do for a while and even though I'm still pretty busy, I didn't want to put it off any longer. I've since found out over 500 kids are on a waiting list for a 'Big' (as they call it) in the Tampa Bay area. After hearing the requirements to be on this list, that number is truly staggering. I interviewed in December; I know my references were called in January; and I completed my training course a few days ago. The next step is what is called 'Pre-Match' where I will be called about my possible 'Little' to see if I think their description is a good match. They are pretty serious about getting a good match, understandably so - the kids are not interchangeable. I am looking forward to getting a call, finding a 'Little' and making a difference in their life. I won't be an only child for much longer.

Update: I just found out that I've been pre-matched with a "Little" - very excited to meet him! Woo hoo!
