Getting Involved

I have begun to get involved here at Stockton, in the first semester. Throughout high school I remained cautious about stepping out of my shell and getting involved in school related activities. I was always apprehensive about being the leader of a group as well as restricting my time after school. Thus, I never joined any clubs or played any sports, and instead focused solely on academics and horseback riding. During my first semester of college, I vowed to break out of this cycle of not being involved. Therefore, I capitalized on the first opportunity I was presented with, an RA assistant position. I was intrigued by this position because of the benefits the program would have on my resume. I was informed several times that being an RA assistant would be an excellent addition to my resume that employers would really appreciate. Also, the position does not require much of a commitment and didn't conflict with my schedule. The program meets once a week, on Thursdays at 4:30 pm, a time that I didn't have class. After realizing how great of an opportunity being involved in the RA program was, I saw that it would be in my best interest to be a part of it.
