By showing leadership and being there for whatever needs attention, I would be a great asset to all communities. Stepping up and showing that I care for the people in our community with making sure there is a positive atmosphere would be my goal as a Resident Assistant.
2. The characters that make a community successful are positivity, communication, interaction, and responsibility.

As a staff member I would be sure to let my residents know that they are not the only ones who may be struggling with change. I remember that as an incoming student I had a rough time adjusting to everything and as I talked to older students I came to find that it gets better. I would also try my best to make sure that they know they could come to me with any questions, whether it is school related or not. Change is a big thing and I would want my residents to know that they are not alone, and be sure to show them the different places on campus that can help them with all of their questions along with their needs. It would also be very important to me to make sure that I try my hardest to show them that different cultures are okay and how a person can learn from other ways of life. As and RA I would be the best leader and listener that I could be, to make sure that not one but all of the residents become comfortable in their new homes at Fort Hays State

Usually, for appointments I have scheduled I set a reminder for that morning to inform me about upcoming appointments for that day, so I am better aware of my day. As I mentioned in my introduction, I am a Dental Assistant in the Army, and I see multiple patients on a daily basis.…
