Resident Assistant Application Essay
1) Interest in Position
Explain why you are interested in the RA position and what skills you possess that make you a good candidate for the position.
My interest in a Resident Assistant position comes from my desire to help. I was born with a very strong sense of empathy and if I see that a
person is struggling I do all that I can do to alleviate them. Whether it is a person with a learning disability who struggled in class to the
"weirdo" in high school who just wanted a friend, I've been there for them. Nothing is more painful to me than seeing a person being

By living my life intentionally, I hope that others will follow suit. 4) Community Development
What is the importance of community? Please talk about your experience with working with diverse groups of people and how you interact with
others that are different from you in a community setting.
Community is the difference between being and belonging. It is just too easy to just be a part of a group, but to feel like you belong to the
group is far more meaningful. You can go to the meetings and know everyone's names but none of that means anything if you don't feel that you
are a significant component in a group. To be a part of a community means that you are a part of group where inclusion, support and friendship are
highly–regarded. The beauty about community is that everyone has their own gifts, talents, opinions and experiences to offer to it, therefore
making each member valuable. As a Resident Assistant, I intend to create an inclusive community in which each person is accepted and
encouraged regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual–orientation or ability. By promoting diversity in my community, I hope that everyone gains
a sense of belonging. In my community, I will have an open mind and tolerant attitude and will encourage my residents to do the same. Because
understanding that no two residents are the same, I will conduct myself through equity. I will try to learn about my residents individually so if
