Welcoming A Resident Assistant

I write on behalf of Joshua Whiting’s application for a Resident Assistant position. I believe Josh to be an exemplary student-scholar as well as a person of tremendous character with significant leadership skills.

Since I first came to college I’ve had the opportunity to discover myself and who I am as a person, and here is what I can tell you. I’m a modest consistently hard working individual who continues to set goals for herself. I take responsible for my actions when things go wrong rather than look for others to blame. I am a person who is committed to constructing something larger for the benefit of others rather than personal gain. I am a person who believes in teamwork and open communication. I also believe that my time as a student ambassador on the LSUA campus and as a nursing student in clinical has allow me to gain the experience that I need in the leadership role. These are all qualities that I hope to bring with me if I am granted membership.

Reminiscing on my lacrosse days, I would not be the person I am today without that experience. By being involved in such a pivotal role, I gained maturity, leadership, time management, communication skills, and most importantly, confidence and learned how to believe in myself. To be an RA, it is essential to have all these. My time management skills I have thoroughly developed will help me balance school, outside activities, and the demands of an RA. Additionally, the maturity, leadership, communication skills I developed serving as a liaison between coaches, parents, and players will transfer to the RA job benefitting the hall director, other resident assistants, and the students. Additionally, I gained self-confidence. An RA is one who has to be responsible, he can’t consistently ask others how to do something or what to do, instead, he has to rely on himself. By attaining confidence at a young age, I can simultaneously utilize my confidence and strong, successful work ethic to fulfill the RA

I started working in the health care field five years ago as a CNA. My goals have changed slightly as I have been in school. I now want to become a Nurse Practitioner. My plan is to finish at York County with a Health Studies Associate and then move onto my BSN than to an NP. The challenges I face while on this journey is exhaustion. I work over-time every week and I sleep a max of three hours most of the time. I have support from family and friends. They watch my wonderful nine month old son while I’m away. It’s a challenge for me to be away from him so much of the time. I make time to spend with him every day. When he smiles at me I am reminded that, I am doing what is best for both of us. I am a strong, hardworking, and very persistent

Please describe any personal characteristics which you possess that make you qualified to be a Resident Assistant. What skills do you possess and what experiences have you had that might enhance your candidacy for the Resident Assistant position?

Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult. Now that I have my mind set on my aspirations, I hope to practice the qualities needed to be a triumphant dentist and dental surgeon. Of course everyone wants success, wealth, and happiness in the future. My long term goal is to pursue a career in the field of dentistry and earn my DDS (doctorate in dental surgery)

I want to be an RA so that I can become more involved in the Geneseo community in a positive way, by helping and representing other students. In particular, I would love to be a resource for incoming students to Geneseo who are nervous and unsure about how they'll find their place here, like I was when I was a freshman. I also think being an RA is a great chance to develop leadership, conflict mediation, and public speaking skills, which are important to have now and in the future. Most of all, I'd like to be able to connect with students I otherwise might normally interact and

I am a firm believer in academia being the top priority while in college and I have proven this attitude through my performance over the past semester. As a Political Science and International Business double major at Monmouth College, who is on the Pre-Law track, I aspire to work in politics one day as a Political Campaign Manager. My academic attitude, I believe, is important for a Resident Assistant to hold because as a RA, one should be a role model for the other members of the hall. While I do take my academics seriously, I also understand the value of communication and social stability while in college. I am very capable of delivering emotional support to any future residents that I may have. Due to my position on the Monmouth College Forensics Team, I, in no way would consider myself shy and have a very warm and outgoing personality that I feel would be able to help residents feel at ease.

I have chosen to get my Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration at Kaplan University, because of the high demand in the healthcare profession.

It is our responsibility to know the skills and knowledge of medical services, as well as the laws that govern the industry. Being a Health Administrator over a facility means being in charge of so many people including workers and patients. We are to protect our workers and patients when it comes to patient rights and confidently.

As a student, I passionately feel that your college experience is what you make of it. I wanted to make my experience one consisting of philanthropy, scholarship, and leadership. As of 2016, I am an event chair, for Relay for Life. Relay for Life is one of the American Cancer society’s largest fundraisers, al over the nation. I chose to undertake this role to honor all of who have touched my heart, as well as everyone who has battled cancer. The role of event chair entitles me to completely organize, our entire event from scratch, to opt for the most successful Relay for Life event of the year. As of now, my event has raised twenty one percent of our goal, and it only increases, with each day. This experience has been extremely rewarding,

A nurse practitioner is a nurse with a graduate degree in advanced practice nursing. When I was little I always said I wanted to become a nurse practitioner. It was something about being able to help patients overcome their illnesses that interested me the most. It always seemed like it was the perfect profession for me because I am a people’s person.

I am a people person. I love chatting with new people, when I get the chances to, and I must admit that I have to get out of my shell and comfort zone a little more. I am a responsible person and student and can help keep the residents in line when rules have been broken, though I can also help them when they need RA help. I manage time very wisely, as seen by the amounts of organizations I have joined throughout the past years, and the fact that I have kept up a great grade point average. These are all great skills and attitudes that I think are important for a RA, and I feel that I encompass them
