Dear Editor,

Please share my letter for national “Thank Your Mentor” Day on January 19th. I’m 11 years old and my mentor’s name is Paula. I am so happy and grateful that she has come into my life. Having a Big Sister is something I have always dreamed of. We have gone on so many adventures: visiting animal shelters, taking walks on the beach with Gussy (Paula’s dog), bike rides in Avila and making cookies at her house. She is my best friend.

I want to say thank you to Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County for being there for all of us who need a little extra care and love. I would like to give an extra special thanks to my Big Sister Paula.

Juliana, with parents
