I have been involved with BBBS of Puget Sound for 8 years. I have enjoyed the support from the organization. I have had the pleasure of watching my "little" go from a shy 8 year old into a beautiful 16 year old. She has changed my life more than I have changed hers, but I am secretly going to take a little credit when she goes off to college, because "It takes a village" and I was lucky enough to be in her village thanks to Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
