I Can't Wait!

Yesterday I got to talk to one of my residents on Facebook.  It was great to sort of 'meet' one of the girls I'll spend the school year getting to know.  She seems amazing, and I hope that we'll be able to become friends.  I wish I could meet more of them, but it's coming up so close.  After I answered a couple of questions, it hit me I'm going to be an RA!!!  It took actually having contact with one of my girls to make it real for me.  The level of excitement I've had since the middle of March, has just reached a boiling point.  I know that I am the person I need to be to do this-- and do it well.  

My first year of college was difficult for me, but it was also one of the best years of my life.  Last year produced its own challenges, but I was given so many great opportunities.  I never thought I'd actually get a position in the RHA Presidency, but when it happened I knew it was right for me.  I loved my job and all of the stresses that came with it.  I was able to work with such amazing people, but beyond that, get to know them on a personal level.  Each year of college is amazing, all in a different way, I hope that next year is just as special.  I will almost be on the outside looking in.  I'll have the chance to watch my residents grow and change the way I did.  I want them to have hard days mixed in with the amazing ones, and I want to be there for all of it.  I can't wait!
