As the summer comes to a hault, the hustle of the new school semester offically begins. With only one year under my belt as a Campus Life director I am still filled with questions and ideas (some better than others), in preparation for a new school year. Learning the ropes to this Campus Life thing has proven to be harder than it seemed at first, but I find that to be a good thing. After one school year of getting a lot of things wrong and a few things right I'm praying to be lead to the right people and in the right direction.
Royal Palm Beach High school has been very welcoming to me. By the end of school last year I not only was the asst. cheerleading coach but also had begun volunteering with the Student Government. Now I still have a long way to go but I have several things I am excited about for this coming semester.
-First off this semester I will be starting small groups for our high school girls. These groups will be a mix of christian and non-christian girls as well as a mix of schools represented.
-Getting the word out about Campus Life at Royal Palm Beach High. I've had a year to develope and now I want Campus Life to grow!
-My leaders who assist me with Campus Life are really stepping up this year to help me out so I can have more time on Campus as well as have the time for these girls small groups.
-I am excited to see God at work, now that I am a little more confident in what I am doing I'm look forward turning the corner with the students that I already have a relationship with. I want these students to know who I represent and why I do what I do.
-I can't wait to connect with students who I haven't met yet! I love meeting new people and building new relationships.
-All my Campus Life students who were so committed all last school year, I'm excited to challenge them.
-I am looking forward to all the trips and events that I have coming up...(praying for their success)
Looking back is something that I too often do, heck I even look in comparison sometimes...but the most exciting place is looking to the future. I pray for all the potential that this year holds, I pray that God works through me and around me if He has to.
