| bills, at my son's LAC the RA positions were unpaid but still highly competitive. For my son who chose to be an RA (they called them JAs -- Junior Advisors -- at his school) in lieu of going abroad, the experience was profoundly good. He picked up all kinds of life skills: leadership, empathy, problem solving, crisis management plus added a significant line to his resume.
Most importantly, he really enjoyed the opportunity to lead and counsel first years, to pass on the practical and emotional support that he received from his JAs. He is gratified that two years on, three of "his" first years are now JAs.
Good luck to your daughter and let us know how she does. |
