CBCF Scholarship Analysis

There are numerous reasons why I aspire to be a resident assistant. The most important reason why I am applying to be an RA is to inspire, motivate and transform students. I believe that my ability to provide valuable skills and resources to my resident will be highly beneficial not only to the students that receive my help, but CCSU as a whole. For example, when I attended CCSU in the summer of 2013, I was a struggling student trying to earn my spot as a central student. However, I found it hard to grasp my head around the transition from high school to college. On the other hand, I was fortunate enough to have Reina as my RA and she motivated, inspired and transformed me to believe in myself. I would be truly

’m writing this cover letter to inform you that I am extremely interesting of being part of your Residential Assistant Program for the coming 2016 Fall semester. I first heard of the program when moving into my first year as a college student I was lost and unaware of where certain things were located throughout the building by reaching out to my RA for help I came to encounter what a RA position was and what were their obligations as an RA. Knowing the commitment, dedication and self management that it takes to become an RA I would say I am ready to take on the hands on experience with open arms making me not just an interested candidate but a prepare fully aware candidate.

This is one of the most difficult student positions to hold and to perform well, and still have a social life. As a RA you are called on to do a mutilate of tasks that need to be done in a certain amount of time, while at the same time you are still a student, and still hold college experience. As an Resident Assistant you hold many responsibilities, and held accountable for so many other people during the time you are shaping your own education. By far being an RA, a student, a person who can make bad decision at times and a sociable being is one of the greatest challenges you will face during your life as an RA here at Delaware State University. RA's act as the supervisors (Mother Hen, or Pops) of their floor/wing or apartment unit and gain valuable experiences that will exercise their organization, leadership, supervisory methods, crisis management, and peer counseling skills in the area of conflict resolution. All of these experiences you will gain as an RA are experience that you can use for a lifetime, and use as an example for any other situation that may arise in the

Given these requirements, and my past experiences I am confident that I have the necessary skills to successfully do the job adeptly and preform the expectations discussed above.

An RA works to create that positive community by being selfless, available, committed and compassionate about their responsibility. Being an RA is not easy and I understand that I will be tested. An RA would be required to devote more time to my residents. Being an RA, i would have to mediate conflict between roommates or floor-mates, and also I would have to work to make sure no one is being deprived of anything such as a peaceful study or sleeping environment. I know sometimes my duty would require me to step up deal with students whom might not be compiling with either the school, housing or floor rules.

Since my family has a low income, one of the beneficial impacts that I would receive if I win the Dr. Carreon scholarship is that I would have little debt after I graduate from a 4 year university. Also, it would allow me to possibly study abroad during my time during college since I would need less money and it would help prevent financial issues in the near future.

I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.

Similar to any leadership position, there is a significant difference between being well-liked and well-respected as a Resident Assistant. Both approaches to leadership reap their own benefits and can make a positive impact on residents and the community as a whole. A friendly personality, good people skills and a focus on collaboration and fun are all qualities that are crucial for a Resident Assistant. These qualities are especially beneficial considering duties such as one-on-one interactions, planning and facilitating events and making residents feel welcome and excited about living at UCF. However, a strong work ethic, willingness to make difficult decisions with the community in mind, the ability to keep a calm demeanor in the face of

I feel as though a great resident assistant should be friendly, relatable, and helpful. A great RA should be friendly, in that, they should be a friend to their residents. They should engage their residents in fun activities and create a personal relationship with each of them. A great RA should also be relatable, in that, they should find something in common with their residents and be able to relate to situations and problems their residents may encounter.

As a Resident Assistant, I feel as though I have many strengths that I can use in this job. I am a good communicator and am able to present information in a manner that my residents will relate too. During the first-floor meeting, I was able to get through the information quickly and efficiently without a lot of

As wonderful as being an RA is, the position does not lack challenges. These challenges keep me motivated to continue to improve year after year. This year, one challenge was getting to know residents on other floors and sharing my enthusiasm with them. During my first year as an RA, I already knew many of the residents before becoming their RA and had fostered relationships with them. This year, I did not have the fortune in the beginning and this has impacted our rapport. It has been a challenge, one I will have to continue to work on. To overcome this challenge I am making a greater effort to talk with residents and tailoring programs to residents on multiple floors. Going forward, I know that I will have to put more effort into getting

1: Throughout high school, I have always wanted to become an RA. Two of my cousins did at other universities and they said it was the best job they ever had. But personally, I wanted the job because I love to help people succeed. I enjoy being a figure that people can look up to for help and for support. The RA role always me to help those people more intimately, weather they need emotional support or just need someone to vent too after something bothers them. Once I started applying for the role, I realized that this would be the best opportunity on campus for me to gain some very good leadership experience. I have dabbled with leadership and the type of leader I am, and I will get to that later in the reflection. But one of the most valuable skills one can have is leadership, and the RA role offers plenty of that.

There are many reasons why I decided to apply to become a resident assistant. The first one is that I will become accountable for somebody else; up to this time in my life, I have been accountable for myself. However, being a Resident Assistant includes being accountable for many others, becoming a mentor, becoming someone people can trust and becoming an immediate resource. Secondly, for personal growth in many areas; as a leader, to increase my responsibility level, to be more organized, to be a role model and just be a better version of me. Third, a Resident Assistant develops professional skills that will help to build the foundation for a great worker in the future. Moreover, to be able to operate successfully in a professional
