Meladee and I have been matched for over 2 years, since she was 8 years old. Meladee is from Manchester, CT, but has Puerto Rican roots. She's incredibly outgoing, positive, funny, intelligent, and easy going. I'm so lucky to have her as my Little Sister. We love doing crafts, science experiments, going out to eat, skating and skiing. Her favorite places to eat are Wendy's and Taco Bell. Meladee has grown up so much since I first met her. She is so persitent, smart, and thoughtful, always kind to others and loves helping children younger than her. She has taught me so much and brought lots of fulfillment and laughs to my life. I hope that I am a good role model for her and am making a difference in her life.
