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.

Roommate B was not okay with it, because she would be able to go home a lot and did not want her belongings to be damaged and tampered with. After I talked to both roommates separately and together, they reached a comfortable compromise. After their roommate agreement, I met with a set of twin.
