Not only do I love this song, cause Alicia Keys has some ballin' vocal cords but one of my old residents Tomass belted it out in the Subway line at school to get a free cookie. Let's just say this song is not only a motivator but always puts a smile on my face.
But.. I didn't just choose the song for Tomass, but for myself! After many interviews and weeks of stress I got the RD (Resident Director) position that I have wanted since I became an Resident Adviser. With this opportunity I hope to show RA's how rewarding the job really can be. Residence Life has become a big part of my life here at Clarkson. This promotion means so much to me!
After catching up with an old resident he told me about his Big/Little people theory. I know the name of the theory sounds absolutely ridiculous, but just hear it out. The first thing he told me is that he's a big person now, and the little people don't matter. Of course this made me nervous, I don't want to be forgotten or remembered as a "little person". So here's the theory, "Little people are people who have nothing important going on in their life so they just run around talking about big people or other small people. It's the little people that will be doing boring jobs doing boring stuff and never accomplish anything big in their life".... So here was the tearjerker... "Big People make an impact on people's live's, just like you've made an impact on my life Mary". Yes, some of you may be thinking to yourself what an abstract theory but as I had tears in my eyes and looked back at my phone I thought.. maybe he is on to something here. After a rough fall semester, all these "little people" were starting to get to me, but in reality I let them get to me. I fell down many times and had a hard time getting back up. But Big people put a smile on their face and are only looking to be better than the person they were yesterday.
And a big WOOHOO to my blog for having over 2000 views!!!
I'm adding on to my miles, and keeping my head in the books for the next 2 weeks. I can't wait to go home for Spring Break. I haven't seen my family since January, that is way to long for a small town girl in a big family. It's time to go home and see all the "Big people" in my life, my supporters and motivators. Next goal on the list is to get an internship and everything will fall into place.
Here's to forgetting the "little people" who bring you down,
Anybody with me?
