Benefits Of Becoming A RA

If given the opportunity to become an RA it would not be a position I would take for granted. While some scheduling and lifestyle changes may be necessary, I know that I could handle the new responsibilities. Over the three semesters I have been at school my schedule has changed significantly each new term to manage my obligations, whether those were classes, work, or campus clubs. I understand the importance of being available for my residents and it would be my first priority to be on hand if needed. While school work and personal time are always going to be part of a college student’s life, spending time in the dorms with my door open, for example, would allow me to combine being accessible and my other responsibilities. Like any job, sometimes
sacrifices need to be made to complete your duties and I am willing and ready to put my work as an RA first. This fall semester I have gotten into a routine of being more active early in the day so by the time night comes around my daily tasks (attending class, studying, going to the gym) are completed. Maintaining a schedule like this would mean I could juggle the RA position and continue with my current lifestyle with ease.
