Cons
- I only get 2 days a week off to be with my husband, the rest are spent at Starbucks until 9pm. One of those evenings are spent with the Little
- It costs money
- It is a constant source of stress, trying to figure out ideas for what we are going to do
- There really isn't a community surrounding Big Brother's and Big Sisters. I get a monthly email in my inbox and that's it
- There is no way to measure what difference I am making in her life
- Taking her to a Safe Halloween night dressed as a witch, getting her face painted, watching her bounce in the bounce house and get candy
- Her saying "Hey! Did you know we've been together for almost a year? February 5th, I have it marked on my calendar."
- The hug I get at the end of every outing
- Picking her up after summer vacation to see her with the same haircut as myself

Good luck! I'm sure you're making a huge difference in her life. I've thought about doing it, but since my summers are always wacky it would be almost impossible to make a yearlong commitment. :(
Glad I saw this posting header on your side bar. My daughter is organizing her second year of fundraising for our local big brother/big sister chapter. Last year she raised a little over 1300 in lemonade stand sales. She was so excited when they invited her down to the chapter office so they could meet her. It's a great program and we enjoyed meeting all the bigs that came out specifically to buy lemonade from her.
