Resident Assistant Action Plan Essay

Improved Essays
My Resident Assistant Action Plan It has been my goal since last year to become an R.A. my junior year of college. I knew I couldn’t be one this year because last year I lived at home and commuted to IUPUI every day. My sister and brother were both R.A.s and it has been a really appealing position to me for a while. I want to be an R.A. because it is a really good opportunity to put myself to the test. I am hoping that if I become an R.A. I can help new students or returning students find their way thought class scheduling, living with new people, handling homework, and the general stresses of starting college. I think that this is something I could be really good at…and I am excited to use my newfound leadership skills. All that being said, I still need to finish my R.A. application, and it is no easy process! First of all I had to really ask myself if I was up to the job. And I think I am! I told my R.A. that I was interested and he sent me an email about R.A. …show more content…
Such as how long I’ve lived in a dorm and how old I am and what my gender is and so on…. I plan to do this all during Thanksgiving break as well! I am planning on getting the essays done by the 26th, so I want to get all the little basic application questions finished by the 27th. Now, all of this is due by the third of December at 11:59pm but it is my plan to have everything filled out and completed by the time I come back from Thanksgiving break- so probably around the 22nd or the 23rd. That way I can go over everything one last time to check and see if everything is as close to perfect as it can be. And then once that’s done I’ll send in my application! After that it is up to them to see if I get into the R.A. class (EDCU-450) and an interview. I hope I will get that far in the process, either way, I know my deadlines and I know I’ll be

    Background The United States spends more in total and per person on healthcare than any other nation in the world and yields arguably mediocre results. It’s generally not argued that the solution is to spend more on healthcare but rather find a way to spend the money that is allocated to healthcare more efficiently. It’s possible to both lower health care expenditures and maintain a high standard for healthcare in the US. Value-Based Insurance Design is one such solution to the problem of rising medical costs. The plan reduces expenditures on wasteful procedures, medications, etc.…

    I was very interested in the topic of advanced directives that we read towards the beginning of the semester. In talking with a few of my other classmates in the class, I came to realization that I am of a different opinion than most when it comes to how we view the ethics of advanced directives. Most of those I talked to did not seem to agree with their implementation (except for in severe cases such as vegetative states). I would argue that advanced directives are not only an ethical practice, but also a very useful one.…

For the most part, it’s important to know what’s on the AP exam if you plan on attending a university and would like a reduction in the cost of college because knowing how the test is structured will likely increase your score. What is the AP exam though?…

    After a long summer of anticipation, in the early morning of a July 10, 1994, I was born. Being raised by a single mother, I learned in my early years that hard work is the only way to survive. My mother put a strong sense of drive into my mind as young as possible and after moving from city to city,for the first years of life time would tell that it would be a journey. Now I would say I had a standard childhood; lots of toys, big family, and good memories for a lifetime. In the early years everything was enjoyable, I don’t think you notice when you’re younger how hard someone is working to make your life seem normal.…
