A Certified Nursing Assistant has a very demanding job. It drains a person's physical strength by lifting residents but, it can drain the worker of emotions as well because of the loss, pain, and abandonment surrounding many residents. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant and I believe the hardest part of my job is getting attached to a resident as they pass away.

Being a resident assistant has meant that I have to open my doors and my life, in a vulnerable sense, to support those around me. I take pride in the fact that as an RA, I would leave my door open for anyone to approach me – to tell me about their day, or to discuss their problems. With my door open, I would often hear upbeat stories about my residents’ days. However, residents who popped in did not always bring a positive experience. Stories of death, hardship and sexual assault would walk through my doors. In those moments, I willingly dropped whatever it was that I was doing and listened. I would listen to them, comfort them, and then move forward in the most appropriate manner.

In my transition to life after high school, I know that I will utilize the skills that I have developed through my leadership. As I plan to attend college in the fall I can’t help imagining the kind of student I will be there. Will it be harder to make myself stand out in a larger environment when I come from such a small school? Though questions like this run through my mind, I know I am prepared to try my best to show those around me that I am someone to be taken seriously. I plan on becoming a Resident Assistant after freshman year so that I can help my peers feel safe and part of the college community. Additionally, I intend on continuing my involvement in student-run clubs and I am interested in working with the administration to make

During my senior year of college, I decided to switch career paths and pursue Student Affairs. I can honestly admit, I did not fully understand what that meant at the time but I knew I wanted to help students transition in college. As a first-generation college student, I was significantly influenced by the Student Affairs staff at my undergraduate institution. I had arrived at college lost and struggled both academically and socially through my first year. It was not until a Student Affairs professional nudged me in the right direction, that my college experience began to evolve. In part, it was through their dedication to me that I was able to become who I am today; they challenged me and my beliefs to get me to see a different world, a better
In addition, as a Graduate Intern with the Educational Opportunity Fund at Brookdale Community College and Rutgers University I counseled and advised first-generation students on a holistic comprehensive
Throughout my youth and early adulthood, I have held numerous leadership positions in the Boy Scouts of America. It was my time in this organization that fostered my interest in leadership, management, and governance. These formative years gave me the opportunity to practice and develop the leadership skills that I pride myself on today. I have a greater understanding of how to work with others and manage a groups of people and competing groups. My senses of fairness, justice, and equitability were developed during this time and I employ these values in situations to this day. My greatest achievement during my time with the BSA was the completion of my Eagle Project and obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. The effort required to complete such a task was greater than anything I’d attempted thus far and I was rewarded in spades with knowledge and valuable experience. The values instilled in me by the BSA at a young age have been strong motivating factors to study government and public relations. Furthermore, these values are a reflection of my overall character and are part of the foundation of my moral principles and strong work ethic. I plan to fully employ this strong work ethic throughout my research and studies at UC Berkeley, just as I have throughout my academic
