Leadership Experience As A Resident Assistant

I have many experiences with leadership experiences due to my participation in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). In FBLA I had to take a leadership role in a group project that we compete with. While I was the leader I influence others to get the project done and work together as a team. I made sure that we were all on track and that our assign tasks were being completed. When there was an issue I would try to help them and figure out what was happening. I would bring peace when there was arguments.

Firstly, in my Academic Career, I have held a multitude of leadership roles. My sophomore year , I was a class representative for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, commonly known as FCCLA. It was my duty to alert members and keep them up to date regarding meetings and activities. As a representative of FCCLA, I learned how to work as a unit leader and a team member.That same school year, I ran for the district office of secretary for FCCLA. The nomination and election process, gave me the opportunity to grow and nurture my leadership abilities. It was eminently challenging; but I learned the importance of discipline and hard work. I accomplished my goal and was nominated Secretary for FCCLA. This office allowed me to meet plenty

Leadership has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself taking on leadership roles, whether it be by volunteering or coordinating different projects for the benefit of my school or community. Taking on leadership positions has allowed me to develop skills in communication, delegation, and managing multiple tasks and deadlines. As a member of National Honor Society and an officer of Student Council, I am presented with various opportunities to show my leadership skills. For example, I have been in charge of planning multiple pep assemblies for my school. Helping coordinate blood and canned food drives, angel trees, as well as organize an abundance of fundraising events has created a sense of reliability

In my future role as an advance practice nurse I will be spending my time interacting with patients discussing their complaints

In my senior year of high school, I became the student body Vice President and discovered what it means to be an influential leader on campus. This experience exposed me to develop an array of qualities that can be utilized in the role of being resident assistants (RA). I have gained insightful knowledge of the intricate details necessary to be a productive leader who guides in an encouraging and supportive way. A gift that I posses is my ability to organize creative and innovative ways to build camaraderie among the people I serve. This is crucial and beneficial because it ensures for a safe and welcoming environment where everyone feels confident to seek assistance when needed. As a representative of this university and myself, I bring a dedicated intensity about infusing change by vocalizing the wants, needs, and concerns of the students to make my school resilience to an environment conducive to learning.

I have demonstrated leadership in a several different ways. During middle school, I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society. In fact, I gave up a majority of my study halls to help out the advisor. I am currently a captain of my fall sport. Because I hold this position, I help the underclassmen during games, encourage them, and resolve conflicts. In addition to that, I used to be a teacher’s assistant to a second grade religious education class. Next year, I plan to join student government and maintain leadership positions.

As a DC-CAP College Representative I will advocate on campus centered on the relationship I have established with Housing and Residence Life throughout the years. Currently, I am a Resident Advisor (RA) and a member of Residence Hall Association (RHA) both concerning housing. My role as an RA is to foster the community, provide academic support, being attentive to safety and security of the residents, and to serve as an overall counselor to the residents. Also, as an RA I develop programs that educate and encourage residents to build relationships. Furthermore, as a member of RHA my role is to develop residence hall policies, programs, and be the voice for all residence hall students and address the concerns of all the residents.

Throughout my high school career I have been a part of a wide variety of programs in which my leadership characteristics have been used and expanded. One program I have thoroughly enjoyed is the Jacksonville’s Mayor’s Young Leaders Advisory Council. From being on this council for two years, I have grown more than I imagined I would. I have been the chair for two committees, made business connections, gained experience in law, and been made open to other viewpoints. I have also lead in a more personal setting, as I was a preschool teacher at my church and have been a leader of community groups. What I have taken from being a leader is that it continually challenges you. Even if you may be an expert in your field, you will always find there is something new to experience and learn for yourself. To be a part of Florida Southern’s Honors Program would mean that I would not only get a one-of-a-kind experience in academics, but I would be shaped and well-rounded in leadership so I could excel in my

Being a member of Residence Halls Association for almost two years, I have resolved numerous issues which resulted in extending a time period visitors can stay with students at residence halls, opening a residential gym, and active involvement in events provided by Residence Halls Association. Moreover, as an event coordinator of Residence Halls Association, I have provided over hundred events. These events include fundraising for Residence Halls Association operations and various social programs like Thanksgiving Dinner supply, providing community members and residents of Marymount California University with sports tournaments, Color runs, and thematic

Fabs’ position as a Resident Activities Director (RAD) is an asset to providing for the families and children who live at Canterbury Place which is a housing complex for low-income families and founded by First Realty Management. The amount of things she has to juggle ranges from Sports and Academic Olympiad, which are annual competitions that First Realty Management hosts for kids ages 7-18 to go head to head in different sports and educational games against other sites. There is also the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) Drug-Free Calendar Contest, where each kid who attends the community center gets to submit artwork on the given drug-free theme of the year with the hopes of it being included in the annual calendar

An ethical leader and role model must hold oneself to high morals and strong principles. As a member of the Residence Life staff, one must put upright, solid principles and rules before the desires of oneself or the desire to please others. A Residential Assistant must be calm, cool, and collected. While connecting to one’s residents on a personal basis, one must also look out for their safety, which includes enforcing the rules. One should act as a friend, while one balances the role of supervisor and counselor.

I have several leaders on my job. The one leader I have in my is my assistant Director of Nursing. The leader according to www.endeaver.org/network Don’t walk her talk “There are some leaders who are tremendous talkers. They can “wax eloquently” on most any subject and they inspire confidence with their bond pronouncements. The issue arises when all the hyperbole does not coincide with reality and specifically, when the leader displays behavior that is inconsistent with what he or she is “preaching”. Leaders, as persons who are supposed to inspire confidence, like it or not, are held to a higher standard. If you aspire to be a “great leader,” it’s important that you “walk your talk”. Don’t make the eloquent pronouncements, then contradict

I will come up with event ideas that will broaden horizons, grow a sense of community, and enhance residents experience on campus.

I will collaborate with housing staff and administrators to make on campus living a great experience for TWU residents. In addition, I’ll bring determination to RHA to make a change in campus housing and meet the needs of the residents.
