Hi, I'm Breanna the RA.

So as of Friday I am moved into my new apartment in Wasatch Hall where I will be the RA for the next school year! Yay!

Training started Saturday with a retreat up to Bear Lake. It was so much fun. I had a great time getting to know the other staff and some of the staff who isn’t in our area. We had some great lectures and activities that have really gotten me excited about this next year.

The pressure is still on though. What if I can’t meet the needs of all 77 of my residents? What if they think I’m a joke? All of those self doubt questions have passed through my mind this past weekend. It’s a lot of pressure to know you are in charge of that many people and meeting their needs in so many areas. But I think that’s how it is in life. We always have those doubts and fears that we just need to face and get over, end of story.

But don’t get me wrong, I am super excited and I have a lot of faith in myself! I know this is where the Lord wants me to be. It just worked out perfectly that I got this job and that I ended up in this area of housing. I know my residents are going to be great and that we will have so much fun! I have great things planned and I know I will have great support from the other staff in my area. I am thankful for the challenging opportunity to do this!

On the down side, I can’t move into my room until Monday night because the summer RA is still living in it… So I have all of my stuff piled in boxes in another room. My OCD is killing me people. I can’t wait until I can put everything away and organize it!

Go Aggies!
