Ada
Hey everyone. I’m trying to focus at work today, but I’m too distracted and am in a rather foul mood. One of the Resident Assistants (RA) I used to supervise was hit by a drunk driver and she has severe brain damage, not sure if she'll make it. Ada is such a compassionate and wonderful person and I was closer with her than some of the other RA's, so it makes me really frustrated. I remember her coming to tell me during one of our weekly meetings that she was organizing students across campus to volunteer over the break periods in New Orleans. She was a hard worker and did indeed spend hours in New Orleans helping to rebuild the community.
I really feel for all the other RA’s right now since we're spread out and it would be hard to get together. When you work in residential life, you really become close to your coworkers since you work and live in the same place. This is the second tragedy that has happened to our staff. The summer after I left Eigenmann, Alvin passed away after a car accident. He was also on my staff team and an incredible person as well. I think I need to write a letter to Ada and her mother. If I could just get into work stuff today to not think about this, ughh.
