The Results Are In

Sorry to keep you waiting Ann! I told my mom she could call you :)

To my most pleasant surprise, I am now officially 1 of 11 women working as an RA in the Towers North staff. I cannot begin to express my excitement, along with my nervousness.

I am excited that I succeeded, that the committee could see I would be good for the job, and that I no longer have to pay room & board. But it's so much more than that. It's a lot of responsibility and commitment, which I am ready for. I hope that I can be a positive role model for the girls living on my floor next year. I'll need to be ready to handle anything. I hope I can form a real connection with them, and help them with problems when needed. It's soooo different to think of myself as an RA. I'm 19 years old, and a sophomore (by status). Next year I'll be a sophomore/junior, but that's so different than having Lia, my current RA, around. She's been an RA for a couple years and she definitely knows what she's doing.

Hopefully after all my training and prep this summer, I'll know exactly what I'm doing.

I like knowing that I'm taking a more active part in my community in EC! :)
