When I became a RA (Resident Assistant), I was so happy. It was the best position for me at that time of my college life. I got to create programs like: "Are Stereotypes Real?"; "Coming Out in the Halls" and a floor movie night at the theater to see 'Showgirls'.
Many of my creative and professional skills were developed in this position and I got to take home an RA scholarship, Programmer of the Year and later, RA of the Year.
But some of my biggest rewards were my residents. I helped a good amount them get through some of the toughest times in their lives. And they taught me so much about life and how to find the best in people. Those 3 years were the best times of my life, and I am very fortunate to have been the 'dreaded floor manager'.
