Empowering Potential

I'm SO glad I met my big sister, Jessi, because without her help and

guidance I would probably be the shy girl who never tried anything new.

Jessi helped me discover new things and learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have figured

out by myself. I'm so thankful of BBBS Lincoln because without this program I would have

never met someone who would go to basketball games, baseball games, help with my

homework, watch movies, have nice chats with and help me break out of my shell with.

I think one of my favorite things that we did together was when we went to the park

together and painted canvases together and just talked. We tried a lot of new things,

but I didn't seem to care as long as I was hanging out with her because no matter what

we did I knew we were going to have a good time. I gained so much knowledge and wisdom

from Jessi and I couldn't have asked for a better big than Jessi. The best thing about being

Jessi's little was that she was a great "teacher" and she was always helpful in my

stressful situations and I don't think I could've gotten a better big sister

and I will forever be grateful for her.
