My sophomore year has been full of ups and downs. I have learned a lot about what is most important to me and that my grades/school work matter most. I took the hardest classes I will ever take (hopefully) this school year and they really challenged me more than I ever have been. I realized how hard I had to try to achieve my goals. This year I had the privilege of being a resident advisor and ultimately this became my identity for this school year. I really loved my job and I learned that leaders come in a very wide variety. In my case, I can still be myself and be nice and hold authority over others. I got involved outside my dorm as well. I learned to choose the involvement that is most worthwhile to me. I am excited to be back and start anew in the fall.
