I
like having a big sister because I have someone to hang out with
after school. We do a lot of fun things! Like going to the
movies, or making cool crafts. Soon, we are going to start
sewing, maybe even make a pillow or something. Mentee

I
have enjoyed BBBS because I have been able to have a friendship
with my little. We hit it off very nicely. It has been fun
teaching him to play pool and having him beat me at it
sometimes. I hope I have helped him to learn to be a good winner
and also a good loser. Mentor

I
can see a difference in a child who has a mentor. I can also say
that having a "little" has made a difference in me. I
enjoy teaching her the hobbies I have, going to the movie with
her, and shopping with her. Mentor

What
I like about my mentor is that he can always help other people
with their homework and with problems that people have. I also
like my mentor is because he makes all of the new people in the
program feel welcomed. I like the program is because I get to
hang out with some friends and do homework and most importantly
is to have fun. Mentee (age 10)

She's
nice and helps me when I need it. Mentee (age 12)

Why
I like having a big brother is because he will teach me things.
We play activities. Mentee

I
like teaching them the sign language and helping them become
better girl scouts. Mentee

I
like being a leader at patch day because I got to talk about my
animals, also I got to tell people what I do with them. I
like sharing the things I love. Mentee (age 11)

I
like helping younger girls because if they're happy it makes me
happy. Also because it's fun. What I like about my leader is
they help me, they're nice, and they're fun. Mentee (age
12)

It
is really fun planning and doing patch day. What I like most
about it is showing other Girl Scouts what they are going to do
and that they have fun in what they are doing. Mentee

What
I have learned from being a "little" is how to help
myself. Also I have learned how be a good person. One way I
learned to help myself, is Betsie teaches me good social skills.
Another way I have learned to be a good person is Betsie
does not judge me in what I do. I like being a
"little" because I know one day this skills will help
me in the long run. Being a "little" is a great way to
brighten your future and the others around you. Mentee

I
believe the best way to change the world is to help individuals
be the best they can be. A well adjusted, confident person
makes for a good citizen. Participants in BBBS have asked for
help which is the first step in changing one's life. In return,
I have also learned things about myself from my relationship
with my little sister. Mentor
