David Koon of The Arkansas Times explains and shows in his article what an impact a big can have on a little who is searching for someone to be friends with and to learn from. A mother of three which all are living on their own now, has been searching for a way to be a mother again and to help raise the youth. Sherry Nossaman was looking for a way to be active again and do something to help the community. Nossaman loves kids and was all about playing with her kids while they grew up. A friend recommended to Nossaman that she should look into Big Brothers Big Sisters. Nossaman was intrigued and decided to take a look.
Nossaman had to go through training and interviews before she would be paired up. She wanted to be able to be paired up with a girl because she thought they could have more things in common and to do. Once she became verified, Nossaman found her little sister. Amaaria is 10 years old who was in need for someone to hang out with. Living with her Mom and Grandmother, Amaaria didn't have many people to hang out with, not even her older sister. The pair was matched perfect. Nossaman and Amaaria have been paired for more than 14 months now and have been loving the times they have spent together. Nossaman loves to be active and so does Amaaria: they go hiking, swimming, out to eat, etc.. With Nossaman being a mother for years now, she knew the big impact that an outside source can help a child learn and grow. Nossaman hopes that her time with Amaaria will build her self-esteem and to teach her that she can do anything she dreams of, if she works hard enough. The Impact an older being can have on a child is huge and is needed everyday.
