The idea of calling my dorm "home" is becoming more and more real to me, and the fact that i share this home with strangers is killing me softly.Part of realizing that my home is full of strangers encouraged me to host a General assembly meeting under the guise that residents would have an opportunity to voice concerns and request new supplies.
My true intention for this meeting was for me to get an idea of what residents wanted for their community not because i cared so much about changing or improving these things for them, but because i was curious to know where their hearts were.
Sadly enough not a soul showed up to this general assembly meeting, confirming my suspicions that,
- Nobody cares about this community the way i do!
- I must find more effective ways to engage my peers!
I however am not discouraged by the turnout or lack there of because it was a great opportunity to help me understand what works and what does not.I think that maybe i aimed way to high inviting residents to voice whats wrong with our hall and what they would like to see changed. I understand now that i need to set my aim on more specific smaller issues within our hall and market my meetings to specific floors or groups.
Divide and conquer
