Chris was matched in Grade 6, based on his inad- equate social skills, inability to relate to peers, propensity to pick up fi ghts in the school and general lack of interest in academics. It has been a long and ar- duous road for Brian and Chris. Throughout his elementary school, Chris continued to struggle academically and socially and was suspended a couple of times from school. Chris did not expect Brian to continue the match and was convinced that Brian would abandon the match, like many of the grownups in his life. However, Brian kept coming back and agreed to continue the match with Chris at his new middle school in Grade 8. Brian re- cently shared with his Case Manager that he has seen a tremendous change in Chris in Grade 8, he is showing more interest in school, has been attending school regularly and is making a gen- uine attempt to make friends and fi t in to the school. It is evident that the long-term impact of a match can be life altering. With the stabilizing support and guidance of his mentor Brian, Chris is on his way to adapting to middle school and poised to make the transition to high school.
