When I became a senior resident I was really surprised. I think it’s really cool that Gatehouse gives people leadership positions like senior resident or RA. It really helped me see that the progress I’ve made here was being recognized and that helped motivate me to step up more. It’s also given me an opportunity to help newcomers more, especially being able to talk to people on newcomer ban. It’s also nice to be trusted a little more with things such as holding onto the RA phone. It sounds really small, but to me it felt like a pretty big deal. Because of how much trust I’ve lost with everyone in my life because of my using, being trusted even the smallest amount is really exciting.
