Big Joshua and Little Xavier were matched in August of 2018 when Xavier was in the fifth grade. Xavier describes how, being an older brother himself, “it’s nice to have someone older as a role model.” The two love playing video games together. Xavier says of Joshua: “He lets me talk about anything and everything because we have so much in common.” Xavier describes how hearing about Joshua’s college experience and the opportunities it brought him really “got me immersed in the college mindset.” Joshua says “the world needs Xavier. He is smart and he asks a lot of questions about the world and what he has to give. Xavier is eager and willing to learn new things.”
