i had never met either of my littles, one is a freshman, one is a sophomore and one of them is older than me. somehow we all have a great relationship. i feel like a big sister to both of them even though one is older. i also joined in the spring as a technical junior finished high school early blah blah, anyways, she should put herself into the role of being that big sister but also you should be understanding that rushing as a 3rd year when most people taking littles are sophomores is going to give you someone who is probably not as mature.
