Why Did You Apply To Be An RA?
RA Application

1. Why did you decide to apply to be an RA? What do you think it takes to be a successful RA? What do you find most attractive about this position? What seems least attractive about it?
a. I always thought that being an RA would a fun job while in college, and after hearing the benefits and how much fun my friends had while working as an RA I figured I would apply! I think a successful RA must be friendly, fair, outgoing, and yet stern and firm when it come to rules.

I think that I would bring a dedicated, friendly, and responsible employee to SouthGate. As a Pride Leader for my sorority with a demanding work and school schedule, I would bring solid time management skills, leadership, and creative problem solving, as well as a willingness to work as a team player.
3. What motivates you in life? What does it take for you to go the extra mile on a project or job?
a. My motivation in life is to be successful. I take pride in my work and enjoy seeing the results that come from quality work. I have always gone the extra mile in my schoolwork and customer service at work because I would want someone to do the same for me.
4. Why should SouthGate Campus Centre hire you as an RA? What extracurricular activities have you been involved in that will help you become a successful RA? How can lessons learned from these activities be applied to the RA position?
a. I believe I should be hired as an RA because I would be able to engage with my residents while still maintaining a role of leadership. I am extremely involved in my sorority, student government, and current job. I believe my roles as a pride leader, homecoming skit assistant, Vital Crew member, philanthropy committee member, and prom coordinator, have taught me how to manager my time and team members wisely. I have learned how to work in a team and how to resolve conflict, both of these skills will be helpful as an RA to get along my coworkers, and help residents/roommates settle their

    I want to be your Resident Assistant because I am a very reliable and responsible person. This can be reflected from my previous work experience, working two jobs while in school and also participating in other extracurricular activities on campus and also out side. (i.e BAPS temple) I go to BAPS temple, located in Beltsville, every Sunday where we (group) teach young kids about Hinduism, morals, real life expectation, and school. I have had significant amount of work experience that involves a lot of communication and great customer service such as ice-cream server at Brusters, cashier at Hollister Co., Security at UMBC bookstore, and desk staff at Harbor hall which allowed me to expand my communication and public relation skills that one can not just learn by reading books on communication and relationships. I have always showed how motivated and enthusiastic I was to the customers and supervisors and earned their respect.

My views on diversity is very open and employable because outside of…

    More importantly, on a personal level, being an RA will help me be a better overall person and get to know more people. Being an RA would give me so many more chances to help other people through making people feel included and welcome, giving advice and helping with problems, and just being there to make people feel better.

    I strongly believe that giving back to my community/school in one way or another is the most important thing outside of my academics and this is why I want to become an RA. At the age of thirteen, I started my own roller skating classes. Being the instructor of a roller skating class and running the class on my own taught me to be a leader, to grow from my failures and it gave me the opportunity to give back to my community. I learned how to skate in Washington, where my instructors were passionate and enthusiastic for the sport. Their positive energy was so powerful that my love for roller skating continued to radiate within me, even after I made the move from Washington to California. The impact that my instructors made on me and their ability…

    I believe joining the Army ROTC will help grow me into a stronger leader through the experience, knowledge, and skills I will gain. As an Eagle Scout I have learned some important leadership skills. I believe I can exploit these skills in an Army career as well as build upon them and enhance them through ROTC. I have discovered that experiences and challenges support growth and maturity. Having an ordinary job, unchallenging work, or a mediocre position in life do not appeal to me. I want to have colorful experiences, mentally demanding challenges, and hard work so I can mature into a stronger and wiser leader.…
