Big and Little

I registered with Big Brother Big Sister of Utah like 8 months ago and I finally got matched with a Little Sister. We had our first activity about a week ago. I took my Little Ice Skating. We had a lot of fun. She is 6. She loves dancing and crafts. She's definitely a girly girl. I think it's a really good match. Her mom had been in jail a couple of times because of drug use but has made a turn around in her life and has gotten custody back of N (my Little) by being drug free for over a year. She is a good mom and I'm glad that N can have her back in her life. N needs consistency and someone to be there for her since she has had her mom in and out of her life so much. N has been fortunate to have been living with her Grandma. N is a really good kid. She is adorable. Next week we are going on a picnic. N is always really excited for our activities. It's already been really fulfilling and we've only done one activity so far. Mentoring has been one of the best choices I have made in years. I am excited to form a relationship with little N and hopefully be a positive fixture in her life.
