How this charity changed my life

Hi everyone, I’m Laurie, and this is my BIG Little Sister, Sarrah. (note to reader: this is funny because my Little Sister is physically bigger and taller than I am. Ha ha!). Without the Big Sisters organization – and all the sponsors, volunteers, staff, and board members – I would never have met my Little Sister Sarrah. And I would’ve missed out on one of the highlights of my whole life: being a Big Sister.

Conclude the Inspirational Speech

The biggest change I’ve seen in Sarrah is her increased confidence in herself. When we were first matched, our first outing was the Big Sisters picnic in Stanley Park – in the pouring rain! Sarrah was so shy and quiet, and she spoke so softly that people couldn’t hear what she was saying.
