    My interest in being a resident advisor (“RA”) stems from my desire to work intimately, candidly, and meaningfully with other people. My most rewarding relationships have all been built upon some mutually meaningful connection, whether it arises from experiencing grueling football practices together, sharing a common set of interests with someone, or working with others to finish a challenging project. I see the RA position as a way to maximize my likelihood of making these meaningful connections with other individuals, those individuals, in this case, being my future residents and fellow RAs. However, I am not applying to this position for the sole purpose of making friends, and I appreciate that the role of the RA is not always that of a friend. Even so, enhancing the lives of other individuals, with or without a corresponding friendship, is sufficiently fulfilling in and of itself.…

    In several ways, this interview confirmed my expectations of the counseling field. I anticipated private practice would involve a variety of tasks outside of my academic preparation, and I would need to develop entrepreneurial skills. I was not surprised to hear working with family members of clients could be extremely frustrating. The amount of continuing education and tailored research also fit what I anticipated. Although much of this interview affirmed my previous beliefs, there were some areas which caused me significant concern.…

    The Gift of Therapy by Irvin D. Yalcom, M.D., is an insightful book about therapy from the counselors view. He takes you through real-life cases and gives suggestions on how to be or become a better counselor. The four ultimate concerns with existence (death, isolation, meaning of life, and freedom) are addressed throughout the chapters. While using an interpersonal framework with his groups, he works off of the assumption that his patients have an inability to sustain meaningful interpersonal relationships in their life. On the other hand, he uses existential therapy with individuals that he works with. With individuals, he assumes that his patients fall into a deep despair as they are confronted with the harsh facts of the human condition.…
