Tragedy of the Commons” written by Garret Hardin explains how the human population is degrading the environment. When Hardin refers to commons he is talking about a resource that is owned by no one and used by a group of people.

What motivated you to apply for the RA position? What do you hope to gain from being an RA? What skills and attributes would you bring to the position? Well I think what motivates me the most is my drive to want to help new students feel involved on campus.
