Joy Heisel - Crowder 600
The best trip I’ve ever been on:
(I have two)
One was on Mother’s Day with my parents and two sisters. My dad got us lost but we had the best conversation and laughed the whole way there. My sisters and I didn’t even realize we were lost because we were having so much fun telling stories.
This summer I went to Hawaii with my family. We celebrated my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary and watched them renew their wedding vows. The whole trip was fabulous! I love the ocean and being able to hang out with my family on the beach.
My favorite meal: Is breakfast with a cup of coffee
My favorite animal: Is a puppy.
Why be an RA? I love people! I love hearing the stories and passions of all the girls on my floor. I love encouraging and challenging my girls to be the women of God they are called to be.
