I remember when I was an RA and how much I loved getting to know my residents. That passion I had for their lives and putting on programs I knew they were excited about gave me so much energy. Maybe that was because I love psychology so much and I find people to be interesting...maybe it was because I am an outgoing person...but either way, I tried my hardest. Although I groaned about it too, I liked sitting the desk and hanging out with my staff and going on rounds. I enjoyed seeing my impact on them as they grew up through the year and become leaders. I loved hearing their stories when they came back to visit. I made my wing my family when I was an RA. When I became a hall manager, I still had that passion for residents and was very involved in their lives as well as my staff's lives. It was awesome getting to know them and I saw that same passion in their eyes as I had in mine. They wanted to make a difference, just like I did.
Those were the days...
