Every Monday morning, Alexis Hart, Sophomore and Cornerstone University Residential Assistant, starts her week off with her two favorite things: Her section and the Bible. "We have a small group bible study together as a section once a week. We help each other through life's trails and triumphs. These girls have really taught me a lot about life, trust and faith and I am so blessed to have them in my section," Hart said.
Hart has done gymnastics since she was four years old. She is seen doing a handstand in her hallway that she decorated for her section. "I put the same energy into my section and friends as I do in my gymnastics. You've got to give it your all."
"If I could give advice to anyone about anything, I would sum it up in one word: laugh," Hart said. "My favorite thing in the world is to laugh. I probably should love something that I do all day, everyday right? Laughter solves everything."
"We have way too much fun," Hart said. She is seen in the back with a few girls from her section, who she likes to refer to as her best friends. They dressed up like cowgirls and put on a dance for everyone to watch.
Along with a 24/7 job as an RA, Hart also works in the campus cafeteria, serving ice cream and cleaning dishes. She takes time to laugh at work as she rides the conveyor belt before the dishes come in.
Hart has become the "heart" of her section. For her birthday, her section known as C2E, threw her a surprise party. "Lex is probably the coolest girl I have ever known. She is beautiful inside and out and makes every person she is around enjoy life a little bit more," Lauren Larson, C2E resident said.
"Yeah I'm a 20-year-old little kid who likes to color. Life is too fun to take it seriously and I really enjoy the little things," Hart said.
Hart encourages her section to be encouraging. She often takes them on "Section Sneaks," where "we do the most random, outrageous events, but that's why its fun," Hart said. She is pictured above giving Anna Overway a double high five after Overway earned her first strike for "80's Bowling night".
"I learn by reading God's word. It has been such a privilege to be a part of all these beautiful women's lives this year and been able to watch them grow and just be there for them. God has taught me so much and I want to continue to seek his will,"
Hart said.
Hart recently applied to be an RA again for the following school year. She received her letter of acceptance in the mail yesterday. "I can't wait to see what God has planned for me next," Hart said.
