Statement Of Purpose: Summer RA Emission

Decent Essays

So currently, I want to continue to be involved in that organization as opposed to applying to be an RA during the school year. However, when I saw the opportunity that the position of Summer RA was something that was available, I was very happy in that I found a way to be involved in RHA and

    My involvement as President of this years National Honor Society at Burlington High School has been one of great dedication and hard work. I have to say, it has not been an easy task, but it has taught me an aray of different lessons dealing with management of particular tasks and using time more efficiently. My life is hectic enough as it is living on a farm, playing high school sports, and challenging myself academically as much as possible, and NHS has only added to that work-load, but in no way would I ever change my decision to be a leader of NHS. This year has been extremely rewarding to me as I have launched two projects, one of which has been completed as my project team and I helped get seniors registered to vote in Wisconsin for the upcoming election in November.…

    I anticipate my lifestyle changing a small bit, if I was to become a Residential Assistant. Although the position of being an RA comes before any other commitments, I feel that it will still be possible to balance my social life and continually see my friends. The only main change I foresee is that I will have to watch how I act and what I say. I need to set an example and be a role model. People cannot do that if they act irresponsibly and negatively with their friends or residents.…

    As a first-year student, I didn’t fully understand the importance of RA’s. It wasn’t until I moved in on August 23rd that I fully understood their meaning. The move in process was hectic to begin with it, but with the help of RA’s explaining everything that needed to be done, things that we could and couldn’t have, and guiding us in the direction to making new friends. I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without them. This is one of the reasons why I would like to pursue being an RA.…
