Planting Trees … A Farewell Note

Some look around and see that we’ve built some really cool buildings over the last several years.  But we know that it’s the life that happens inside them that is most significant.  I’ll always look back over the last three years and remember what we’ve built together.  I don’t see buildings; I see trees.  Many years from now, long after we have gone, these trees will spread their branches out and bless the dawn…

As a freshman, I found myself a lonely RA in my mandated private room.  I needed a pet.  So, I brought an ivy.  It has stayed with me as I’ve lived the ResLife.  It reminds me that living the ReLife is facilitating life and growth.  It reminds me that living the ResLife is about planting orchards.  So, lean into something lasting…planting trees.
