I survived my first semester managing at Royal Crest! YEAHHH!! I'm not going to lie...this semester was rough for me. Switching to a complex that was 2.5 times bigger than my previous complex, replacing a manager that had been here for 6+ years, dealing with girls that did not like the changes that were happening...it was tough for me at times. Even though this was technically my 5th semester managing I felt as if it was my first most of the semester. I was in a totally different dynamic and felt so lost. There were so many times I really considered walking out my office door and never coming back haha. Good thing I'm not at all a drama queen. ;)
I learned so much over the last 4 months and really learned to recognize how truly blessed I am. I could have not survived this semester with out the love and comfort from my Heavenly Father and Savior. Each day I would pray so hard that I could have the motivation to get through work and the inspiration to help my tenants. I know there were days that I felt more lost than others but I know that I was always being guided and blessed. At times I felt like I wanted to give up but at the end of each day I would have the reassurance that I could do it. One day at a time. I could do it.
Thank goodness I also have the most supportive husband ever that continually lifted me up and encouraged me to keep going even when I felt like I couldn't. He held me so many nights as I sobbed in his shoulder. He dealt with tenants when I couldn't handle it anymore. He gave me pep talk after pep talk encouraging me to keep going! I love his so much and appreciate his support so much, probably more than he will ever know.
Last night I sat in my office and watched the clock hit 6 pm. Fall 2014 semester is over. All my tenants are checked out. I did it. All semester I told myself I just needed to survive one semester and I would be ok and I did it! I know that I'm still going to have hard days. There are still going to be angry parents calling me and crazy tenants coming to my office upset about a clogged toilet or slow internet...but its ok. Its not the end of the world when I get sass from a tenant or an angry email. I am so blessed and know that I am not doing this job alone.
I really am so grateful for this managing position. It has been one of the greatest blessings for Kevin and I. Getting through school would be so much harder without it. I am grateful for my Savior and for his loving guidance each day. I know that He loves me and wants me to succeed. I know that this isn't the hardest job in the world and things could be so much harder in my life but I also know the Savior still cares about my worries and concerns. He is there to lift me up when I feel as if I can't take any more steps. No matter how small and discouraged I felt this semester I always felt my Saviors love. I've said before and I will say it again and again...I am one extremely blessed girl.
***Please ignore my messy hair in the picture below...It had been a LONG day. But I survived. That's all that mattered to me at that moment. :)***
