See through Water (art exhibit): The quality of light affects
the nature of surface reflection. The colors from the
surrounding landscape contribute to the overall appearance
by means of the reflective surface. The transparency of the
water allows for the inclusion of information about what is
below the surface. The speed of the water movement affects
how light is cast onto the stream bottom. The fact of so
many levels of information enables me to break down a
photograph into pieces and then play with the pieces until a
new whole is created.

THE
BBBS NEWS
ALL ABOUT BBBS IN THE COMMUNITY EXCLUSIVE NEWS
TODAY
SPOT LIGHT
Big Brother Forrest, who has
been matched for only four
months, has already seized upon
opportunities to make a
difference in the life of his Little
Brother. Rather than shying
away from potentially awkward
conversation or the possibility of
ruffling his Little’s feathers,
when Forrest learned that his
Little was having some serious
academic struggles that may
prevent him from the sports
involvement he’s always
dreamed of, he took on the
issue without reserve. Brother Forrest
The two sat over dinner talking about where Forrest is today and how he got there before identifying the
Little’s problems areas. At first the Little indicated trouble with focus and concepts; areas identified by his
mom and the school as the culprits. Forrest found it hard to believe that this was really what has holding
his Little Brother back, so he asked his Little to forget what people have been telling him the problem is
and to give his own honest opinion. The Little said that he hasn’t been trying hard enough in class. Forrest
says that this was the moment of progress; his Little identified the problem as coming from himself, and
then the two were able to begin mapping out a plan for achievement.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
FUN QUESTIONS:
Find yourself having a good time with your Little and then all of a
sudden run out of things to talk about? Having one of those moments
of a “Brain Fart” and loss your train of thought? Having a difficult time
getting a conversation rolling? Looking to get to know them on a
deeper level? Then try these assort variety of conversation starters.
You can ask your Little a question, then have them as you a question
in return and turn it into a game!
At what point in history do you think Americans stopped having British accents?
If you had 3 wishes that had to be “spent” on you and you could not wish for more wishes,
what would you wish for?
What do you think the most ultimate gift of the world is?
If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
If you were to change your name, what would you change your name to? Why?
If you could have anything in the world what would it be?

[Edition 1, Volume 1] 12
CHOOSE
YOUR
POISON: -Who would win a fight, Batman or Ironman?
-Would you rather have a yacht or an airplane?
-Would you rather live in a Mansion or treehouse?
-You have to eat cockroaches or a grasshopper.
Which would you choose?
Are these questions too easy for your Little?
Looking for something that takes more thought?
Want to try stumping your Little? Or just
looking for more involved questions to ask? Try
out one of these questions or introduce your little
to one of these quotes and ask them what it means
to them. What they respond might surprise you!
(Use the things inside the parenthesis to help
guide them if your Little is having trouble)
NOT A SIMPLE
QUESTION: 1) What is a leader? What defines a leader?
Are you born as one, known as a natural
born leader? Can you be a leader without
followers? (There are no such things as
“Natural Born Leaders”. It is a skill that
anyone can develop over time like learning to
play basketball or learning a new language. It
takes time to get it down)
2) What is the difference between living and
existing? (One can interpret “living” as
feeling the surroundings and experiencing
them. Whereas “existing” can be the mere fact
that we or something is here at all)
QUOTES TO
THINK ABOUT:
“The greatest prison that
people live in is the fear of
what other people think” (A lot of
people care about what others think about
them and therefore they choose to do things
based on what others think and say)
“Climb Mountains not so the
world can see you, but so you
can see the world” (Don’t do things
because you feel like others will acknowledge
you or they tell you to. Do it to see if you can.
Do it to get out of your comfort zone you
might find something new you like. Do it to
see if you can do it)
“You learn more from failure
than from success. Don’t let it
stop you. Failure builds
character” (Failures teach you what
things you did right and more importantly
what things you did wrong. This benefits you
because next time you try you know what not
to do, where if you fail, you didn’t learn a
valuable that you otherwise would have
learned)

Mentoring Tip
Remember the old saying,
“Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
It takes time to be a better you
so don’t try to do it all in one
day. Spread it out and there
will be no limit to what you
can accomplish.
SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT:
Be a better you……
Want to make an improve about yourself or
change something in a drastic way, in a way that
is manageable? Try doing it with this little simple
tip. Instead of trying to improve yourself in one day,
try spreading it out over a wider period of time. For
example, want to learn French? Try learning 5
words a day. By the end of the year, you’ll know
about 1,825 words. Want to try a new hair style?
Instead of going straight to it, try getting 2-3
different haircuts that slowly moves into the style
you want! It’s less stressful and people will not
notice. Want to stretch the boundaries of your
comfort zone and be more adventurous? Instead
of going skydiving the next day or swimming in
the open sea with sharks. Try doing something
new you’ve never done before each week. You’ll
learn more about yourself and have more stories
to tell people and learn about more things you
like to do. After awhile, if you really want to go
swimming with sharks, let me say it again,
sharks. Go right ahead, you adventurous soul.
