Resident Assistants
Having the title of RA usually tends to turn people away, but if a closer look is taken, the realization will come that they are just regular students in a leadership position. As they arrived a week before the rest of die students to go through RA training they started off the year by putting in extra hours. Not only did they put in extra hours that week but also throughout the whole year. Hours were devoted to those in their dorms. Whether it was confrontational issues, advice, demerits, or encouragement. At times the long days and late nights were tiring but they paid off. Many times the RAs ended up being more challenged than the students, they were able to use the things they were learning in their personal lives to help others become more like Christ. It was a big challenge and responsibility knowing that they will be held accountable for the souls of those under them. But it was a lesson to spend time daily in the Word so that their ministry and sharing might be from die overflow of their personal studies. Joanna Morton
