Big Brother Little Brothers of Greater Chattanooga goes paddleboarding and tubing
So I've been involved in the Big Brother Little Brother of Greater Chattanooga Program since last year. I take out my "little brother" Xavier every couple weeks to give him good advice from a male role model.....or help him learn new things.....His dad left when he was born.
Xavier hasn't been as fortunate as myself. Everything we have done together, its been his first time......mountain biking, hiking, paddleboarding, golf, putt putt, any restaurant even mexican or chickfila for 2 years he doesn't go....He grew up without a father figure...... He did get out of Tennessee this summer for the first time.....EVER.... His family went to Panama City for a few days.
He couldn't stand up on the paddleboard, so we took out the skiboat and let him drive. He loved that!
He had never been TUBING!!!!
We had a great time. He had never been on a boat or paddleboard ever before. Maybe next time he can stand up on the SUP. Its been a challenge to find activities he's comfortable with....
Thanks for your time looking at my blog

That's amazing! You can really see the joy in his face. Giving back to others is something that we should all do at some point (or many points) in our lives.
Thanks for being a positive role model (I hope haha) to this young man!
The life of dreams. Your children must love you.
I love water sports and driving. So driving a boat is perfect. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
So good of you to take the time out of your life to do something to help someone else, Hats off to you and all you do for Xavier
