Big Sister

There has been ALOT of baseball between May and October!

I took my little sister to a Phillies game at the end of the season. Taking a young child to a game is always fun... a totally different perspective than I'm used to.

Sticking with the little sister perspective...

She showed me an essay that she wrote for school discussing her relationship with me over the past 3 years since she joined the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Wow ... that about sums it up. I've always been quick to note that it is arguable who gets more out of the situation, me or her. By reading her essay, she understands the depth of what she is getting out of the situation well beyond what I ever imagined. Never underestimate the thought processes of today's youth. While on the surface their thoughts can appear simple / somewhat self absorbed, they really do get everything below the surface.
