Match of the Month

April 2009 - Match of the Month
Little Brother Tristan Loukides & Big Brother Robert Castellano

Tristan Loukides is a 12 year old Little Brother who is happily matched with Big Brother Robert Castellano. The match meets once a week during lunch at Tristan’s school as they are a part of our site based mentoring program. This hour a week gives Tristan and Robert a chance to hang out and talk, which is their favorite pastime.

This time together allows Tristan to forget about anything that may be bothering him, which includes his little brother! Tristan’s favorite thing about his Big Brother is that Robert helps him think about the good things in life. Tristan also returns the favor as he taught Robert the phrase, “Time, thought, effort”. Robert is grateful to be able to hear Tristan’s perspective as he finds it helpful and important.

Tristan and Robert’s match consists of listening and talking, which is important in every match relationship. It is obvious why these two are such a great match! Tristan and Robert plan to always remain friends and with Tristan’s philosophy, this should be easy to do. This match had it right all along, all a match needs is “Time, thought, and effort”.
