Personal Statement : Becoming A Resident Assistant

My interest in a Resident Assistant position comes from my desire to help. I was born with a very strong sense of empathy and if I see that a person is struggling I do all that I can do to alleviate them. Whether it is a person with a learning disability who struggled in class to the “weirdo” in high school who just wanted a friend, I’ve been there for them. Nothing is more painful to me than seeing a person being mistreated, under respected or neglected and I do all I can to protect people from this. My goal is to make every person feel as if they have someone on their side, someone

I am applying to be an RA because I enjoy being a role model and a positive influence on others. I have been in positions before in which I was in charge of multiple people around my age, and I really enjoyed those experiences. I believe that an effective RA has strong leadership, communication, disciplinary, and charismatic skills. An RA is in charge of around twenty other students, it is important that they must be their residents’ friend and a big brother/sister to the residents and by having those skills the residents should feel as if the RA is a big brother/sister. In my opinion, the most important skill is communication. If a resident is struggling with a class, a resident is homesick, or just has any personal problems the RA is probably one of the first people they talk to. Communicating to their residents in those times can mean the world to them; just a simple conversation can help improve a person.

I am confident that my creativity, communication, and organization skills will benefit Towson’s residential community. Being creative breaks monotony and can make things interesting for everyone involved. Communications skills are important to have for this position since I will be working with residents and other RAs on a daily basis. Having transferred from two other schools, I have met many people and experienced many different things, which I believe makes me more relatable than just your average person. Being organized and detail-oriented makes working with me simple and reduces stress for everyone. Due to my positive and empathetic personality, I am an easy person to talk to and get along with.

I want to become a Resident Advisor so that I can have the opportunity to be a support system and resource for the students of OU. I am interested in helping residents succeed, while working to build an inclusive community in the Residence Halls. I am a recent transfer student, so I am just beginning to find my place at the University. What I have found here is a support system of people who want to see me succeed and have gone above and beyond to help me in every way imaginable. My goal as a Resident Advisor would be to become a similar resource for residents while developing my leadership skills and creating a positive atmosphere.

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.

Duties of being a Resident Assistants can be very challenging, exciting, and enduring. Although I am an incoming sophomore at Wilberforce University I believe I meet the criteria and have the skills of being a RA. I understand there will be conflicts that come along with that title, but with past opportunities and obstacles I am able to resolve many situations. It is important to complete a task on time, so things can run smoothly and efficiently. I am a great team player and I work well with others; which is why it is imperative to be punctual. There is a plethora of skills I could bring to the table such as; my love and compassion for others, my people skills, and i'm very well with multi-tasking. I enjoy helping and uplifting young ladies

I have danced around with the many options in the medical field since high school, from paramedic to forensic pathologist and everything in between. I decided on medical assisting because I see it as a step towards other possibilities, a foot in the door to see what I enjoy and will want to do in the future. Medical Assistance have a wide working spectrum and are in many medical areas such as a family clinic, pediatrics, and plastic surgery. Because my goal is a forensic pathologist or autopsy assistant I want to be a medical assistant in plastic or general surgery because I believe it will be a wonderful step towards my goal. As a medical assistant you are held to a high standard of professionalism because the situations you will be working

I have a strong interest to work in the medical environment and as can be gleaned from my resume I have successfully completed Medical administration and medical terminology qualifications to assist me in gaining a position in the medical environment. I hold the core values of Respect, Teamwork, Compassion, High Performance and Integrity of Queensland Health in high regard. I respect all people with whom I interact, and I have emotional intelligence which allows me to show empathy and compassion especially when dealing with the diverse range of people. I believe I would fulfil the responsibilities of the Administration Officer (Outpatients) to a very high level as I view the value and the code of conduct of an organisation within which I am employed to be a very important aspect of the role and I have always demonstrated a strong sense of empathy, integrity and commitment. I have excellent organisational skills that assist me in ensuring that all tasks allocated to me are prioritised to ensure I meet the goals of my manager and of the team.

As a result of my personal experience in the Honors living-learning community, I will be able to provide my residents with advice and expectations for the program, and even help with homework. Overall, I hope to serve as more than an RA to the incoming residents. I

There are many things I want to get out of the next four years, friends that will last a lifetime, a great education, and memories that will never fade. Being a Community Assistant will put me on the right path to succeed those goals. It would be a great opportunity to be able to get involved into the community and meet fellow residents. One major factor in why I want to work at Red Rock Ridge is from what I have observed it has a positive work environment.

I will like for the Summer Housing Assistant Position because I originally wanted to work for Housing for my work Study but there was no more space available. When I saw the sign I thought it would of been a great opportunity for me to do over the summer instead.I also want to to gain more leadership roles on campus. Plus, while moving into the dorms during the fall of 2015 I had a great experience. Everything ran smoothly. I want to help plan that. I want the next class to have a great experience. I want to help make everything as easy as possible.

This position will support my career goals by giving me the experience for my degree. This will give the the opportunity to grow my skills in managing others. I am qualified for this position because I have experience as a front end coordinator. Before going into Accounting I previously coordinated for about a year and a half. I have high standards in make sure every job that I do is done correctly and efficiently. I always make sure that I am always listening and communicating with my co-works.

What would I want from a nursing home if I were to become a resident? To begin with, I realize that nursing homes work within clearly set boundaries of law and standards of medical practices; Therefore they are only so flexible with the patients, doing their best most times to make sure that everyone is treated fairly by following required guidelines. Even at that, once in a while, there are instants where things do not go as planned and some residents get abused. Mainly because the people that work in close collaboration with the residents are not always a good fit for the position; Reason being some are underpaid and just don’t care about the patients or their jobs, some others are just mean and should not be allowed to work with such a vulnerable population.

I completed my nursing degree and currently registered to APHRA as an RN. I possess good communication skills, which help me to effectively interact with patients, families and multidisciplinary team. I am skilled at accurately obtaining and interpreting medical information to determine the health status and needs of my patients. As noted in my resume, my competencies and capabilities are strongly in line with the requirements stated in your job description. In the university, I developed the skills to deliver impeccable
