Before I start with this post I just want to say thank you so much for considering on taking to time to read my blog. It means a lot to me that, you, spending time to read about things I'm interested in or random stuff that I think are cool to write about. I really want to say, THANK YOU!
As the title suggest, I haven't written on this blog for such a long time and so much has happened since that last time I have written a blog post, so I thought I would do a "quick check up."
Since late August, I have started working as an Resident Assistant and have started my second year at Simpson University! So far, the experience as an RA (Resident Assistant) has been insightful, blessful, and an amazing experience. I have learned so much about people, God, and myself. I have gotten to meet and connect with so many beautiful people and getting to experience and learn about their souls, goals, and personalities has been awe inspiring. I have grown so close and have made great relationships with other people that I am overwhelmed by the love and care they have given me. Before applying to be an RA, I did not like people-- in a sense that I did not want to interact or socialize with them. There were moments when I'd walk out of my house and see my neighbors working on their lawns or their kids playing in the front yard, and the first thing I would think of was, "EW, people." But I no longer think that anymore. I have grown a passion for people and their stories, which is one of the many aspects that I have felt that God has worked in me. I continue to enjoy meeting new people and gaining more experience throughout the year!
Now, coming back to Simpson for my second year has been somewhat different from my freshman year. Similar because of the classes, homework, homework, campus, and homework. Different because although the environment may seem familiar and I've attained a "groove" of the campus, a sense of, "I know what to expect," kind of mentality was reassuring. But I knew that it was going to get a lot busier and it has been. This year has been such a huge learning experience for me that in certain areas that I thought I knew, I didn't, but have grown and learned form that. I feel that I have also grown, am growing, and will grow closer to the Lord and it has been an overwhelming experience.
So for now, I am doing great! Busy, tired, happy, and content.
Thank you so much for reading!
