This is the Kilgore Kickback! This was an excellent program that allowed residents to get rid of the stressors of the day. 2K Basketball Tournament livens up the week for Kilgore residents and winner won an iTunes gift card.

Kilgore Kickback is an exciting program that allows residents to have some fun. I personally “DJed” for this event insuring that there was quality music for the residents to enjoy as they socialized and played the games. This program involved a 2k Basketball tournament and engaged the residents in friendly competition. This program serves to: Show residents how to monitor stress by using this event to relax from the day’s activities. Allow residents to engage in socializing and networking with each other in a fun environment. Facilitate a friendly environment for bonding through the social activities provided as well as recognize to appreciate what is unique about each individual.

                                         Building Visions

“Building Visions Achieving Goals through Vision Boards” is a powerful program teaching residents about using a tool that enables them to reflect and explore the self. This board is not only a great tool to clarify goals, but also works as inspiration to work towards them every moment. With the program comes an insinuated challenge that asks each resident to go discover their dreams and achieve them masterfully. This program serves to: Teach residents what a vision board is and how it functions. Explain to residents how visions help get goals accomplished. Show residents how to make an effective vision board.

If only I could study as long as I debate. Just ended a debate with Kilgore's RAs and residents that started at 11 pm and ended at 5 am on: sexuality, God, knowledge, the institution of religion, faith, race, abstractions, reality, philosophy, truth, and much more. Residents were heading to a party yet ended up party in Kilgore's lobby sharing their wisdom, beliefs, experiences and so forth. The conversation was very fruitful. Understanding how others think is interesting. Arguments, disagreements, screaming, becoming irritated/ pissed was inevitable among the scholars, however, hopefully as I did they take something from the debate, add more value to it, and apply it to their life someway. Good morning to some and good night to all.

Transfer students and staff discuss relationship issues. Man, these guys sure can talk a lot. But it’s fun to learn about their backgrounds. I have found that the transfer students are just as eager to engage us as are the freshman. This is definitely an remarkable experience for them.

I live by quotes and I told Kilgore residents to find a quote and let it make your day.

RA and resident bonding. Location: Waffle House. Time: Unknown. Topic of discussion: God. The who, what, how, when and why - the world will never know, but every scholar in the pic had a voice and they voiced their opinion as if they did. Knowledge is two folds. Its good, but it's also evil. The more you know the more dangerous you become, the more you know the more you dont. God is all and all is God. Nobody can take your "truth" away from you, nobody! God is .......!
