Being a RA

So school has now started and I've been here for 3 weeks now and have not gone home yet. If you know me then you know this is very unusual for me. I've only gone 3 weeks at school away from home one other time but here I go again and even longer this time. So life as a RA has been quite an experience already. There's been been lots of ups with a few downs. It's been great to hear others stories and where they came from but with that are some really tough stories to listen too. I can't wait though to see what God is going to do in all of our lives this year. There have been lots of late nights of hanging out getting to know each other and having fun. I love Kroske and all the fun we have and up beat people!! It's been tough though knowing what to share with your residents and not say to much. You want to be real and yet be a good role model. It's tough to draw the line between being friends and being their RA who keeps them in line. It's also difficult when we are on different levels as they are adjusting to the college life and I'm starting to think about life after college. It's crazy to think about it and tough to relate to them sometimes. But despite it all being a RA is such an amazing thing. I wouldn't trade it for anything!!! I love my Kroske family!!! I couldn't ask for more.
