Part 1
I have noticed a trend in leadership. This trend is not one that many acknowledge, but it is one that proves deadly. This trend is in proving a lack of investment in those followers/ hall occupants who are not "disorderly". Those who do not cause problems, are often pushed aside for those who are the problem makers. Certainly we need to deal with the problems and those who we consider a "problem". However, it is a struggle to find balance within this investment cycle.
Part 2
Tonight me and my team where able to split-up our hall. We did so strategically, and sought the most even distribution of girls. We love them all and want them all to succeed. I was asked by my RA tonight to tell her how I thought I was doing on hall leadership. I said that I do not think that I will ever have the confidence to say I have been great at leading my hall this year. I haven't felt like I have done a good job. This last week has made me scatter-brained and numb. I have been degraded at least three times and it sucks butt. However, I haven't felt like I have done my job, until I did it "badly" in the view of the girls. It really is true that when you have only friends, you aren't being honest or useful to helping others grow. Conflict is good. All of the conflict so far has been good, and I am thankful for it. We are praying and trusting God. I am praying and trusting God to mend. I am thankful for my position and will try my hardest to continue pressing towards the goal of Christ.
