MONSTER TREATS

My son Greg heads back to college this weekend. Indiana Road trip time!  This coming year at Rose-Hulman he will be serving as a Sophomore advisor. It’s a cool program that Rose-Hulman has in place.  A sophomore advisor is not an RA (those are juniors and above at Rose) instead the sophomore advisor is a mentor to the freshman having just completed their own freshman year with it’s “fresh” memories. In addition to mentoring they are tasked with making sure that no one hides in their room, that all are encouraged to be an active part of the student body. It’s been sweet to listen to Greg talk about “his freshman” referring to the students he will be mentoring on his floor. And it’s been amazing to see my quiet, geeky, brainiac blossom thanks to the programs like these at Rose. . I joke that we are really getting our  money’s worth. Rose’s way of building engineers who will be part of teams in the work place – works.  We had two prayers when we were looking for colleges with our kids 1) that God would use them 2) that the colleges they chose would be a good fit and help them beyond their studies.  God is good and he answered both prayers. 

Greg and his roommate Kirk wanted their room to be a comfortable place for the freshman to stop by. I decided nothing works better than treats. I made these treat containers for Greg & Kirk;s desks. The containers are shatterproof from Wal-mart – perfect for a boys dorm! Now to keep them stocked in Candy treat – Greg’s has his favorite sour patch kids – just waiting to learn Kirk’s favorite.
