Placement Preferences

Gibson- Gibson is my first preference to be a Resident Assistant in next year because I like that it is a alcohol, drug free building. I would enjoy Gibson because I think that I could relate to the other people that live there. I have been in Gibson on different occasions this year and last year and the tone that it has is very focused. I feel like my experience in Davis has prepared me for being an RA in Gibson. I think that I would bring my malleability to Gibson and also my willingness to figure things out on my own. I start out in Davis as a new RA with a new RD and we were able to figure things out together. Don is great and I think my being able to grow with her and other Davis staff throughout the year will allow

I am passionate about many things including, social justice, equality, community, relationships, along with many others and I feel that I display that through the organizations and clubs that I am apart of and just my everyday demeanour. I am a person who appreciates and prefers to radiate positivity. I am an open and honest person, even though everyone does not like to hear it sometimes. I am straightforward and to the point, I do not sugar coat important things. I am someone who knows how to separate their professional life from their personal life. I am patient with things that I think are worthy of patience, but there are other things that I do not give leeway to because they are crucial. I say all of that because that is how I live my everyday life everywhere I go. Those characteristics are what make me a good steward, in my opinion, and they are the values that are most important to me. They are what I can offer to a …show more content…
That is the position that I think is more difficult than others just because of the atmosphere and how far away everyone is from each other. This year I am super involved and very busy, but I love it. I love being busy and always moving from one place to another, it keeps me motivated. Next year, I plan to be busy but more intentionally. This year I felt like I was involved in a lot of things, but I was not making a difference anywhere and I really struggled with that. Between now and April, I plan to really analyze what defines me as a student and a leader at Maryville College and pursue where I think I make the most difference, wholeheartedly. One thing I can say, is that I never felt like I was not making a difference as an RA and while I feel like I have helped my girls through their freshman year and given them good advice, they have done the same for me. Being a Resident Assistant was number one on my priority list when it came to clubs, organizations, and responsibilities and I would like to keep it that

    In regard to being a Resident Assistant, it is more important to be well-respected. I think it's okay to be liked by the residents, but I don't think it should be to the point where they think they can take advantage of you and break rules. Just because someone is liked doesn't mean that they shouldn't be respected as well. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Most off the time, when someone is well-liked, it is because they are nice and easy to talk to.…

    To who It may concern, I believe that a diverse pool of students working together to organize and construct an environment for personal growth makes the UF experience much more valuable.
