My Little is 10 years old. She lived in Russia for about 8 years before she moved her to the US. The rest of her family, like her grandparents, aunts and uncles, live in New York. Because she didn't know english very well when she got her, they put her in second grade to learn more about it. According to the age of average kids in her grade she is 2 years older then everyone in her grade. She had a hard time with that. Also she is the only girl in a family where she has 2 brothers. She just really needed someone who could basically be a sister type to her. Someone she could play with. We hit it off right when we met each other and we have been getting closer and closer ever since. She is amazing and i love her.

When I first went to meet my little, I was nervous and didn’t quite know what to expect. It turns out that my little who is in the 1st grade, is one of the sweetest and funniest kids I have ever met in my life. She always is full of energy and excitement, and we’ve never had a dull moment together. She always brightens my day, and has helped me to be optimistic and has taught me to have patience. Since the first day we met, we have grown so close, her reading and writing skills have improved, and she seems to have matured so much. It has been really exciting to watch her grow more and more every day. Every time I see her she runs up to me and gives me a big hug and tells everyone she meets that I am her big sister. Being a big is one of the best experiences I’ve had, and I am so glad to be a part of this organization. Not only do I feel like I have made a difference in the life of a child, but I have learned and grown so much during the few months Summer and I have spent together.

umm ok so, my little is a 6th grader and we have a lot in common. The coolest thing about my little is that she really opens up to me and is willing to talk to me about things that most young children would be scared to talk about. She shares everything about her family and how she spends time equally with her mom and her dad. It's really cool to be able to listen to someone who really wants to open up!
