RA
s
R.A.'s
Being an RA usually seems to put
a person in tough position. The stu–
dent who is an RA has to remember
the responsibility that they hold, while
they also have friends who live by
them. Often, unfortunately, these two
things can conflict and cause tension
between the RA and their residents.
Thus it takes a special kind of person
to be an RA. An RA must be able to
balance both of these relationships,
and must be responsible while still be–
ing able to have fun. Most RA's are
able to accept this challenge and are
able to use this as an learning experi–
ence. Being an RA is a big time com–
mitment, and being an RA causes
most people to balance their time
more effectively. Despite all of this,
most love their job. It is a great way to
meet new people, and it is also inter–
esting to watch people learn how to
live with each other. Being an RA gives
students the satisfaction of helping
others, and also lets them have a taste
of responsibility.
