The 4th floor of Moore was suddenly without an RA on the first day of classes at the beginning of this academic year. All the way across campus, was Mikaila Woods; a CA in Kramer Complex got a call from the Residence Life Coordinator of Moore Hall. That Friday Mikaila was chosen to fill that void on Moore’s 4th floor, and by Saturday night she had finished unpacking into her new lobby room. Mikaila came in with no training, onto a floor with no leader. Her leadership has grown all on her own, and anything that did, and will happen, on that floor is because of her. Since then she has made herself available to her residents and socialized her floor in time to create a great community on her floor. She did this by reiterating the importance of …show more content…
Through all of the relationships that Mikaila has formed since being hiring last second, she has created an exceptional bond with the RLA on her floor. RLA Nyssa Owens and Mikaila have become best friends over this academic year, often inseparable and always building each other up. They will work side by side in programs and help each other out in a multitude of ways when it comes to their student staff position.
“I'm honestly just stunned with the work she has done. She came to Moore without going through training, yet within two days she established a floor GroupMe, created a social program, and had bulletin boards ready to go. She's one of the most driven people I've ever seen, and she makes her work meaningful. I love her steadfast integrity and her loyalty to this job, even when the job isn't kind to RA's. She's a natural here, she always belonged in Moore.” -Darby Huddleston (Staff)
“If she's sets her mind to something, she's going to do it. She sets her eye on the prize and works as hard as she can to get there. She does this with everything she does. Even if it's as simple as getting a bulletin board done, she plans What’s she's going to do, and then gets to work. I think that's why she's succeeded this year. She doesn't give up and the staff applauds her for it.” -Chantelle Simon

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.

Alexis is such a wonderful asset to my floor and he always brings such a bubbly and interesting personality. He is great to have ad events especially one’s I would like to get more attendance to.

Through my time being part of the community in North and South Hedges I have learned how to take control of conduct and build rapport through following up with residents.

Because of these experiences, and prior knowledge, I am ready to step into a larger role concerning conduct situations and student wellness.

The life of a Residential Leader may seem like they have plenty fun with their residents and fellow RLs with the smile on their faces, but there are important aspects to the position that require knowledge on how to handle messy situations. The RLs deal with plenty of resident halls problems from complaints to difficult residents to ensure that the other residents of the hall may have a joyous experience while attending college. The way an RL must go about handling these situations is important as the RL is not only representing the other RLs, but the Hall they are stationed in.
