This month, we are thrilled to spotlight the inspiring match between Thomas and Timothy, who have been paired together since the beginning of the year. Their relationship is a testament to the powerful connections that can form through the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) program. Meeting once a week at school, they have developed a strong bond characterized by laughter,
meaningful conversations, and friendship. You can often find them in the cafeteria, sharing jokes and enjoying each other’s company, creating memories with Timothy’s friends.
Thomas, a dedicated junior at High Point University, is majoring in international business. His commitment to mentoring Timothy is unwavering. He consistently attends numerous BBBS events, demonstrating his dedication not just to his role as a Big Brother, but also to the community and the mission of BBBS. Notably, he participated in events like “Bowling for Kids,” where he and Timothy showcased their competitive spirit and had a blast. Their adventures together also include outings to the Children’s Museum, where Thomas enthusiastically engages Timothy with various exhibits, sparking his curiosity and imagination.
Timothy, a bright and cheerful first grader, is steadily progressing and thriving in his academic journey. Under Thomas’s positive influence, he is not only growing in confidence but also developing vital social skills. Their time together provides Timothy with a sense of stability and encouragement, allowing him to explore his interests and express himself freely.
The future looks bright for Thomas and Timothy as their bond continues to strengthen. Thomas serves as a positive role model, guiding Timothy through challenges and celebrating his successes. As they look forward to more adventures and shared experiences, it’s clear that their relationship will leave a lasting impact on both of their lives.
Meaningful connections can be hard to come by, the partnership between Thomas and Timothy exemplifies the potential of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program to transform lives. We are excited to see how their journey unfolds and proud to celebrate them as our Match of the Month!
