It's My First Post For My Blog About Me and This Post Is About Me.

         Hello ya'll, my name is Zachery Edward Raso but you can call me Starlord. Just kidding I stole that from, Guardians of the Galaxy. You can actually call me Zach or Raso or Razzle Dazzle or in extreme cases monkey (not kidding). I am a sixth (yes sixth) year student at Rhode Island College but I will be graduating this May. I am obviously a Youth Development Major with a Minor in Coaching and a Concentration in Education. I have been here so long because I wanted to originally be a teacher but found I hated the classroom setting.
           When I graduate in May my first career move is to become a Hall Director for Residential Life and Housing at an institute of higher education. Unfortunately it will have to be somewhere other then RIC because they like you to leave a few years before working here again. I am actually quite excited for this opportunity and can't wait to start applying. I have been a Resident Assistant for four years and I feel as though I love the job so much that I don't know what I would do if I didn't move up in the field. So when it comes to Youth Development I want to focus on young adults. I am also in charge of the Gender Inclusive Housing on campus where students can live in suites of four regardless of there gender. It is a living learning community and it is my first year in charge of it.
           Not only am I an RA but I am also a member of the Ultimate Frisbee team on campus, RICdiculous. Yes that says RICdiculous, its a pun. I have captained the team in the past and this year I have stepped into the role of educator more then captain, mainly because I wasn't elected but who dwells on those things. I consider myself a pretty athletic person who is very injury prone but all and all I am a good teammate and I love playing the sport. I also play soccer recreationally and am a fan of many other sports.
           I have an amazing girlfriend named Gretchen and a wonderful group of friends from the frisbee team and RA staff. I do in fact have more friends then that but I like to think of those people as my family and I would have to say I am closer to them then I am to most people. I also have a great family at home.
         In closing I would like to say that I am a season ticket holder to the New England Revolution Soccer team and I love to play FIFA. So watching soccer and playing video games is what I do in my down time.
                                                                                                                          Sincerely, Starlord (Zach)
