As a child, I remember my mother would bring me to the doctor’s office every other week for minimal reasons, such as a simple cough or a headache. Although I insisted I felt fine, she was always worried my condition was worse than it appeared. Over time, the appointments became mundane as there was nothing significantly wrong with me, and my pediatrician told my mother to stop bringing me so often. As I got older, I realized my mother and I grew in different settings. She was raised in a Vietnamese village, where access to treatment and health care education were limited and overlooked.…
A brilliant man by the name of Ernest Hemingway, once said "Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. " What comes to mind after reading this statement? Simple, we all end out on the same path eventually in life yet to be noted as the most remarkable person based upon their natural raw passion for life and how they live; is what makes individual. Someone to stand out amongst the many solely based upon their life's actions leading up to one moment is what allows for this opportunity.…
I believe the key responsibility for a Residential Assistant is to build an effective community. To create a positive and productive community, residential assistants should be open, disciplined, and compassionate. Living in a society that is comprised of people from different cultural and social backgrounds, it is important for a RA to emphasize an open environment. An open environment will allow residents to feel secure and comfortable to express themselves, and it will protect individualities of each student.…

No matter how small or how enormous the task, I would soon add the necessary human touch. In particular, I would, time and time again demonstrate that I truly care and my residents would soon discover that their university and residential experience is more than meaningful; it is also life transforming. I have a strong background of working with others in capacities both supervised and unsupervised.

Over the past the three semesters, I have served as a member of the executive board for RHA. My role in RHA has presented me with the opportunity to address the concerns of my fellow residents and promote a more cohesive community in my hall.

My work in RHA, overlapping with roles of a RA, inspired me to look into potentially becoming an RA. My interest quickly increased, as I learned about how my work in RHA was synonymous with some of the RA’s duties.…
The beauty of Make-Up I have always say that life is like the beauty of makeup sometimes it does not come up how you are expecting it to be, sometimes you feel very comfortable and sometimes you make mistakes that everyone else see and they give you weird looks, or talk about you, so you try to cover up your mistakes by doing something good, just like covering them up with concealer and you keep on trying to get better and better at your mistakes.

I compare my life with makeup because makeup makes…
I have changed my mind on what I want to be when I grow up multiple times. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a singer, and then a OG/GYN, and then a counselor.

Each of these careers are in the health field, yet they are all very different. These careers have different education requirements, different salary’s, and different jobs all together.…
