Please do me a favour everyone. If you like this post, please give it a thumbs up on the Toolbox.com site. I believe it's up to $1,300 that can go to my charity of choice (Big Brothers Big Sisters), based on number of comments/likes as part of the Comments for a Cause contest.

I was a Big Brother for 4 years. 2 matched with a Little and 2 as a SOAR volunteer. It's a great program and a worthy cause providing children in our community with good role models. I hope when my kids are a little older, that we might even be family Big Brother volunteers at some point so they too may know the joy of being involved in their communities.

You haven't lived until some random kid you have only known for a short while attaches themselves to your leg because they don't want you to leave. Those are the little reminders being involved throws at you as to why you got involved in the first place. WARNING: Working with kids may leave an emotional lump in your throat from time to time. Kids are really good at pulling at your vulnerable heart-strings.
