To accomplish great things, we must not only
act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

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.

If you think you may be interested in becoming a 'Big,' check out Big Brothers Big Sisters for more information.
