"I love that I am helping out people and making an impact in their lives. I love the fact that I am giving back to the community at every chance I get. What I am not always fond of is the late nights that occur when I need my rest the most. At the time it does not always seem like a great thing, but afterwards I remember that this was the reason I applied to be a Resident Assistant in the first place, to help people no matter what."
