Excerpt from "InspiRAtion for RAs"

If you enter my room feeling lost
My hope is to show you direction.

If you enter my room full of tears
My hope is that you will leave with a smile.

If you enter my room feeling like a stranger
My hope is that when you leave,
We will know each other.

If you enter my room full of happiness
My hope is to share your excitement.

If you enter my room bothered by worry
My hope is that you will leave feeling at ease.

If you enter my room glowing with love
My hope is to share in your warmth.

If you enter my room bubbling with dreams
My hope is to watch them develop for you.

If you enter my room with a troubling problem
My hope is that you can confide in me.

If you enter my room
My hope is that we will both grow stronger.
