Personal Narrative: My Role As A Resident Assistant

As a resident assistant, “my community” is my floor and the thirty two residents who reside in my wing. For me, it is almost impossible to properly do my job without fulfilling the citizenship portion of the social change model. I actively help others in my community by sitting at the duty desk, leaving my door open, and being a part of our floor GroupMe. All of these things are ways that I make myself available to my residents to answer their questions and get to know them. Essentially through these forms of communication, my residents can reach me at anytime during the day. Whether it is a resident who had a bad day and wanders down to the lobby to talk, a resident who messages the group to ask what bus to take from College Avenue to Busch,
