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.
