In our lives, each of us shared an important connection with someone who broadened our horizons and brought a little magic into our lives.
It was the person who taught you to throw that perfect spiral, or sat in the front row to cheer you on, even when it was embarrassing. These are the little moments that Big Brothers and Big Sisters experience every day.
These real life stories are just a few of the ways Big Brothers Big Sisters is changing lives and communities forever.
Big Sister Jessica and Little Sister Rakell
 Little Sister Rakell and Big Sister Jessica have been matched since 2005 and are still going strong! Jessica is proud of the relationship she and Rakell have created - and she should be! Rakell's mom beams, "The match is the best thing that's ever happened to Rakell."
"I feel like we have come so far in our relationship with each other," says Jessica. "The comfort level we have and the appreciation we each feel for each other is such a good feeling. We have the best time together. We really do act like sisters - telling secrets, laughing for hours, being silly, just plain enjoying the time we have together. I'm very happy to have Rakell in my life. She impacts me just as much as I impact her, and for that I'm grateful!"
