Personal Narrative: My Role As A Resident Assistant

Why are you planning to attend Oakton? Include your educational goals/career interests/professional aspirations and your plans to meet these goals. I am planning to attend Oakton because having known my financial situation for some time now, going to community college is the best choice for me. This is especially thinking in the long run. My goals at Oakton are to graduate with a 3.5 or above GPA and to take courses to help me get my general education out of the way which will allow me to focus more on the classes that I need in order to succeed in my major and to help increase my understanding with the job I hope to pursue.

The next class, I hope to attend would be the interview class. I hope to attend more classes like this in the future weeks and throughout my career here at SDSU. I also attended the resume blitz. That was very helpful the next day to make sure I was formatting it right and had everything in order for the career fair. They check for simple things as spelling errors and made sure I had everything I needed to get an interview.

Perception Checking Well today most commonly people have a good communication with others. However some are not because they don 't give themselves changes to communication with people. Perception Checking is a great tool that everyone use to help you understand what they are trying to say before jumping into the conclusions. We need to be friendly and outgoing to others so their feeling won 't left out.

I know that other people will have more experience than me in certain aspects but everyone at washburn is there to succeed. The way i accomplish goals are different for me, once i start to self doubt and realize i might not achieve it, i take in mind all the alternatives to still have a chance. One alternative is seeing the “why not 's”. Finding them is easy , but actually solving the problem is where it gets difficult but not impossible.

From the Resident Assistant position I hope to learn management skills, a proper balance of order and fun, and better leadership skills. First of all, I feel management skills will have to be learned while being a Resident Assistant because of the amount of duties I would be responsible for. Not only must I watch over an entire floor of girls, but I also need to attend meetings, keep paperwork, and report and listen to those ranked above me. In a lifetime, it is important to have management skills if you want to be promoted through careers. I believe the perfect time to start learning this is now.

I want to graduate high school with good grades so that I have a better chance of going to a good college. Next, my goal would be to Graduate from a cosmetology college. Ever since I've been little I have had the fascination of cutting hair, styling and coloring hair. I think going to a cosmetology school is very beneficial because it's exactly what what I want to do for my job forever.

In 2009, there were 9.7 million unemployed high school graduates, compared with 5.2 million college graduates without jobs.” (http://www.greatschools.org/). This shows that not only will you be able to get a job but you will be able to keep it. When you go to college you are in an class with other people so you can learn about them and get to make new

The way that you can obtain these skills can vary. The fundamentals of these skills can be taught in classes. I am learning a lot of financial analysis skills in some of my classes. Over the next year and a half I will have a sufficient amount of knowledge to get my self-started in the future. Another way I intend on gaining more experience is through internships.

INTRODUCTION This report will highlight and take a critical look at my years of Bachelor, with the aim of building a post-graduation long-term action plan that will guide me towards my master degree and beyond in order to enhance my full potential. Employers, universities and even professional bodies all agree on one point: “more than ever we need professionals who are responsive to economic, social, cultural, technical and environmental change and can work flexibly and intelligently across business contexts.” (Graduate Employability Skills Report, 2007). And for that to be achieved, self-reflection is needed by each and everyone of us in order to achieve our full employability potential. Reflective practice has been identified as a method

Since it’s an AP class, I expect there to be plenty of work. I’m not saying I like to do school work, but I think this class and the things I learn from it will be worth it. I know colleges will have plenty of work for me, so this will prepare me and build up my work ethic. I am doing this summer homework because I think it will be worth my time to take the class and do more work. As long as there I can see the significance and purpose to the things I do, I am willing to do the work.

However, I’ve been trying very hard to understand my limits are not the same as other people 's while also understanding that with enough effort I’ll be able to better myself. I just need to keep a calm mind and come to terms with what I can and can’t do. Another thing C.S Lewis has said once before is “We are what we believe we are.” . To me this quote means how we

Self-Control is the ability to control your emotions and not let them interfere with the way you provide support and care. Working with J.K. was sometimes difficult and I would often leave his classroom feeling defeated. However, I did not let these feelings show during my time with the students and I tried my best shrug off the bad days by continuing to work towards future

In the next few years, I would like to gain some experience in any kind of sports management to help build my resume and make me look more appealing to companies. I would like to then gain some more experience in the field by working in Sports Information to really start to understand the job and what I will be responsible for. I would hopefully be able to find a job on campus or nearby that will do just that. In the long run, I would like to find an entry level job out of college, such as an assistant SID or just helping out in an office for an SID to gain knowledge from them. I would like this job to lead me into my own job as an SID, perhaps in a smaller college to try and get the hang of things.

The Human resource specialist, I would be also qualified for the job after I finish my last year at University of Michigan Dearborn to receive my bachelor’s degree. Working with customers and employees at my pervious jobs, working with people is a strong suit. To obtain an HR specialist career, I would need to become familiar with the human resource management software. The financial analyst, I would need to continue on my path to completing my bachelor’s degree and receive my master’s degree.
