To My Freshman RA:

You were the one who greeted me on my first day on campus and made me realize that upper class-man are not that scary. Right from the beginning you were there whenever I needed you.

Thank you for letting me into my room all those times I was locked out.

Thank you for becoming a mentor to our entire floor and helping us create a family. Thank you for helping me with my projects and papers and for giving me advice about classes and professors.

Thank you for being honest with me and letting me know that my mistakes do not define who I am as a person and for setting me straight when I lost my way.

Thank you for dealing with our pranks and encouraging us to be ourselves.

Thank you for always playing music and for the goodies on the holidays.

You are the person who I found as my first mentor on campus and I am thrilled to call you my friend.

Even though I am older now and you aren't my RA, your advice stays with me. Sometimes I don't know how I would have made it through freshman year with out you.

Thank you for everything,

Your freshman troublemakers
