Alexis Avila Founder/President of Prepped & Polished discusses his nomination as finalist for Big Brother of the Year.

I have got some great news for you. Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of America called me on Tuesday with the news that I, yours truly, was selected as one of the finalists for the Big Brother of the Year; who would have known?

So I’ve been a big brother for seven years to a boy in Somerville from Cape Verde, originally named Danny. He started out in sixth grade in 2003 and was shy. Flash forward seven years. He’s 18, a high school graduate, popular with his friends, nice to people, he bought his own car, he’s going to be attending college next fall, and he’s just really part of the family. So it means a lot to be nominated by Big Brother.

I just wanted to post this because the prepped and polished philosophy of building strong connections with students and families extends outside of the business. So they become a big brother today.

I’ll talk to you soon.
