What's in an RA?

That's a good question. What is in an RA that would make them sign up for a job that requires mothering 25+ girls 24/7; answering 100s of questions a day, making decisions, helping with homework, doing van runs to take visiting friends back to their own dorms or homes or taking sick girls to the doctor; running on empty but still having time to give hugs and smiles and words of encouragement; cheering for them at their games and holding nervous hands before they perform at a recital; making room checks and doing lunch prep; getting up early to get breakfast ready and staying "on call" on a day off when almost half the dorm is sick? What's in an RA that would make them sign up for the hardest most stretching time of their lives? It's called a willingness to serve and give and love - Jesus with skin on. That's what's in an RA and here are 3 of the best at BFA! Way to go Rachel, Janet & Ellie (who are actually finding a bit of time for themselves to just veg a bit while the girls come home from school).
