Energy is important in the last half of the semester.
How
do you use the following aspects to GENERATE ENERGY? Write a sentence
or 2 about each one. (You may have to go to the back of your Radical
Leap Book to review some of the terms below):
Love
To be able to help your community grow, you need to love what you are doing. When you love what you are doing, then it is not really considered a job but more of a lifestyle.
Great Ideas
Generating ideas off each other is how everyone stays involved in the process of community building. Without constant asking of the residents or FIR(or in my case FOR) you are not engaging everyone in the community building process. When people are talking about they would love to do, then it is something to take into consideration to make the Living-Learning Community experience the best.

Noble Principles
When leading a group of students into there first year of college, it is extremely important for the bar to be set high. The students then have the ability to grow and try and reach the best maximum potential that they can reach. Without some type of noble principle structure, things would fall apart. Now this does not mean do not think that everything will happen the way it is "suppose to" but when the goals are there, it gives more motivation to those who want it.

Interesting work
Never expect anything is something that I have learned a lot about this past semester. You may set the goal but you can never make people do things that you want them to do. They have a choice. That is why it is so important to realize that this is a fun high paced job that you have to be able to adapt to what is happening within your community. Without this ability, you will become extremely annoyed because of your high expectations. That is what makes this job so interesting because you never know what is going to happen within the next five minutes, next hour, next day, next week, or next month.

Exciting Challenges
Within the community, there needs to be new things that the students can experience so they can broaden their experiences. For instance, we took the residents out on a mountain biking trip through the Boise foothills. Now more than half of the students had never gone mountain biking before so it was great to see them try something new that was would definitely challenge their mental and physical capabilities.

Stormi, I appreciate your reflection and you comments on expectations. Yes, I think expectations are interesting and can be good and bad....Maybe the important thing is to find balance in what we expect of others and ourselves....
