Forum was short and sweet this week because The Civil Wars concert was after it. Yes, I am very bitter about the fact that I was not there and I moped allll night.
Gina Mashburn from Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Shoals was our speaker. She told us the basics of what they do, and one thing she said struck me. She mentioned that she had 30 ladies waiting to be matched up with a little sister, but she had 150 little brothers waiting to be matched up with an big brother. This kind of made me sad. Guys, where are you? All I could think was c'mon now! It kind of bugged met that it seems like guys are not pulling their weight, at least in this context. I talked to my roomie, the Kristen Dunn, about it. I asked her why she thought it was that there was no guy volunteers and she responded that she thinks it's because women have more of the nurturing instinct. This is true. But still, I think it's time for guys to step it up.
That concludes my rant for the week.
