Prompt #1:
Serteen (Teens in Service to Mankind) President:
Description: I was the president of a 50+ student volunteer club at my school. My role was to communicate with the advisor, facilitate meetings, manage members, and supervise events. In addition, I completed 50 hours of volunteer services alongside the team.
Reflection/Application: I have gained exceptional communication and leadership skills from this position. Being able to communicate with your peers in a respectful, yet authoritative and effective way is a necessity for RAs. In addition, I am able to act as a liaison between students and faculty in higher up positions.
Dryden Food Market Lead Cashier:
Description: The lead cashier is a stepping stone between employees and management. My job was to act as a role model cashier, while simultaneously providing support to the team. I was the “go-to” for any questions or troubles. …show more content…
RAs act as a resource for residents when they have an issue, making problem solving one of the upmost important skills. Also, RAs need to manage difficulties in their own life while making themselves available to other residents at the same time.
Transferring Colleges (SUNY Geneseo-Pace):
Description: SUNY Geneseo was not what I was looking for in a college. I decided to follow my dream and transfer to Pace for the second semester of my freshman year. I had to adjust to the new atmosphere and integrate myself into the school.
Reflection/Application: As an RA, it is their duty to create an open and welcoming atmosphere; a residence hall is a community. I now have a better understanding of what type of assistance students need when entering college, as a freshman or a transfer, in order to make a smooth transition. I know what helped me and what could have been done
