A New Responsiblity

A new school year, a new start, and a new responsibility knock at my door. This fall semester will, once again, bring me a completely new kind of experience. Two years ago, the new experience was college. I arrived on campus and was immediately thrust into a new type of atmosphere that I could not possibly have anticipated. Last year, as it came time to start my sophomore year, I also prepared for a completely new kind of experience - studying abroad. Europe was great, and I returned in January to continue back at HLG. This week, I prepare for my junior year of college, and have now an altogether new adventure staring me in the face. This year I will be an Resident Advisor.


By the time the new students start arriving on Thursday, the 25th, we will have been training for over a week for this job. So much excitement and so many concerns surround the anticipation of the students' arrivals. My chief concern is my example to other students. We're supposed to be leaders in our halls and all over campus. What if I stumble, and they see me? We are supposed to be above reproach. I feel that I am bound to mess up, but when it happens, I hope that my walk with Christ is strong enough to defend against the doubts that the enemy will throw my way.
