Resident Leadership Application Essay

My first reasons would be the socials aspect. I have confidence that my capability to encourage others through faith as well as support will be valuable to others and help me be the best resident leader I can be. I want to work toward becoming the resident leader that others count on. In doing so, I feel I’ll be fully prepared to take on any greater responsibilities which might be present throughout the year. I want to help the students seek to become servant leaders, compassionate peace makers, and Christ centered. The second reasons is the professional aspect. It will give me the opportunity to grow as a leader and teach me skills that will help me advance in my secondary education career. I also believe being a resident leader is one of the best opportunities I can receive on this campus because it will help me become more connected to the students at a deeper level and get to know the resident life staff members better.

The past experiences that will be helpful to me as a resident leader would be my role as the eldest in my family.

I was in charge of three sisters in my family and learned a lot throughout the years. I took a mediated approach to conflict. I believe it’s important to listen to both sides and understand where each is coming from. There is usually some common ground among conflict and start there and build. I shared my best practices and constantly observed their progress to celebrate their success and move them in the right direction. I prepare by ensuring that I could answer any questions that may be asked, or have the resources to find the answers. I listen to my sisters concerns about any issue and help them through the transition. A campus experience that also helped me was being an orientation guide for international students. I tried building a strong bond with the person, gave advice, listened to their goals, and my personal experiences. I listen to others worries about the transformation and help them through the

transition.
