I thought that the last CCG session we had about Big Brothers Big Sisters was really interesting. I think it was good to learn all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on in order to make the program work. I was also very impressed at how many companies donate money to the program because it shows that a lot of people think it is important. I really enjoyed how the speaker gave different ideas in order to promote the programs, and she gave good tips on how to be an effective leader. Seeing as how I like working with kids, I think it would be very fun to have a little sister or brother that way I could hopefully have a positive impact on their life.

Last night was my sixth meeting at Crimson and Gold and Linda Henecke was there to talk to us about Big Brothers, Big Sisters a volunteer program that she runs. She told us to do something that we were passionate about and follow that dream. Her stories were really interesting especially how the program is continuing to grow and her own personal stories with the program. I participate in the Lunch Buddies program at Polke elementary which is associated with this program so it was neat to hear the history of the program and listen to her views about leadership
