You need to have your own act together before you can lead others:
2. Student will demonstrate personal, URI 101 In order to stay organized with my academics and school involvements, I use Google Calendar. In
organizational, and academic examples Google Calendar, I put the days that I have exams, the days I have tours, and the days that I have
of self-discipline events for SEC. This helps me with scheduling appointments, finding time to do homework and
studying, and deciding when I have free time for things like eating and going to the gym. Coming into
college, my time management skills werent the best, so URI 101 was huge resource for my transition
into my first semester. Before using Google Calendar as a resource, I relied on just memory to know
when everything was due and when I had priorities, which led to me turning in things late and not
showing up to things I was supposed to be at.

3. Student will demonstrate the ability to Dunkin Donuts Working in customer service can prove to be a challenge. One of my first jobs in high school was
manage emotions working as a cashier at Dunkin Donuts. The job is relatively straightforward; I made coffees and served
food, kept the store maintained, and rang out customers with a positive attitude. However, not all
customers were the easiest to serve. Although most customers were very respectful, there would
occasionally be some rude patrons. One day specifically, I handed a man his coffee, and instead of
grabbing it from the cup, he grabbed it by the lid. This caused the coffee to fall and spill everywhere.
Doing my job, I sincerely apologized to the man and told him I would clean it up and get him a new
coffee. The man responded by screaming at me and swearing, even though I was respectful. Although
this made me considerably annoyed and angry, I stayed calm and did my best to de-escalate the
situation. Since that day, I have always treated customers with the utmost respect, as my manager
taught me that even when the customer is very wrong, you should treat them as if theyre right.

4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of RA Stress Management Program About a week ago, I went to my friend Shelleys stress relief program for her building. At the program,
stress management methods we made stress balls and talked about different ways that to manage stress. Shelley gave a number of
stress relief tips, such as exercise, getting more sleep, writing in a journal, eating healthier, or even
unplugging from technology. She also gave some academic tips as well, such as using your time
wisely, using the resources available to you, and setting yourself daily goals. As someone who has
been having the most stressful semester yet, I was glad that I went to the program because it showed
me what I can do to be less stressful next semester.

5. Student will demonstrate the ability to COM 100 Student Entertainment Committee In both of the examples listed, COM 100 and SEC, I have needed to develop a strong ability to
manage stress (Hospitality Coordinator) manage my stress. I came into URI an okay public speaker, but definitely knew I needed to improve
my skills, as I was very nervous speaking in front of people. With this in mind, I enrolled in COM 100,
an introduction to communications class. In this class, I had to give a variety of different speeches ( in
length and topic) to my peers. Some of these speeches were more difficult than anything I had done
previously in high school, so I really had to focus to make sure my nerves werent visible. I found it
helpful to look above the audience as opposed to looking directly at them, and to also make a
conscious effort to be articulate and speak slower. This was definitely one of the more challenging
courses I have taken, and it taught me how to better manage my stress when communicating with a
large group. Also in my freshmen year, I joined SEC (Student Entertainment Committee), and earned
an executive position as the Hospitality Coordinator. In this position, it is my job to welcome all of our
guests to the University, whether that be musicians, lecturers, comedians, or any other type of
performer, and provide them with whatever they need. I set up dressing rooms, and go on runs to pick
up food and other items when need be. This is a fast paced job that can become stressful at times,
and requires a lot of time management skills. I found that the best way to manage this stress is to

19 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 In HDF 290, I presented to the class on Webers Theory of Authority and Bureaucracy. Weber deemed
Authority and Bureaucracy theory of that there are three different types of authority: Rational-Legal Authority, Traditional Authority, and
. leadership Weber Charismatic Authority. Rational-Legal Authority is based on rational grounds and rules, and is most
stable for superiors and subordinates. It is commonly found in modern hierarchical leadership.
Traditional Authority follow suit of the eternal yesterday, and leaders base their foundation on
tradition and what is typically carried out. This type of authority was found in pre-modern societies.
Charismatic Authority is where leaders gain respect and trust because of their virtuosity and attitude.
Allegiance to these leaders can stem from ethics, heroics, or religion (ex. Adolf Hitler and Pablo
Escobar). Weber was also well known for his ideas on Bureaucracy, a type of administrative structure
developed through rational-legal authority. He believed that there were five main principles of
bureaucracy; They have to have hierarchical structure, management by rules and laws,be organized
by functional speciality, be purposely impersonal, and have employment based on technical
41 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 In HDF 290, I learned about the Relational Leadership Model by Komives,
Relational Leadership model by McMahon and Lucas, where leaders are focused on bringing people together to
. Komives, McMahon & Lucas make a positive difference or accomplish change. Leaders must have knowledge, a
set of beliefs, and applicable skills to be effective. The model is made up of five main
components: Inclusive, Empowering, Purposeful, Ethical, and Process-Oriented.
The first component Inclusive, is where the leader sees that differences in people are
valuable, and that equality is important in the treatment of everyone. The next
component is empowering, where leaders believe that everyone has something to
bring to the table, and that the growth and development of people is necessary. The
third component is purposeful, where leaders have a commitment to a goal and
have a common purpose for what they are trying to accomplish. The component
following purposeful is ethical, in which leaders follow a certain set of values and
morals that are accepted in society. The final value is process-oriented, where
leaders follow a certain process when pursuing goals, and believe that it is just as
important as the actual outcome.

43 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 In HDF 290, I learned about the concept of constructivism, which is also how the
concept of constructivism class was taught. Constructivism is a way of learning, in which people construct
. their own knowledge and understanding of the world, based off their own
experiences. When a new opportunity for learning presents itself, the knowledge we
already have should be taken into account when processing the new information.
This can lead to a change in the knowledge we previously thought to be true, or
lead to us disregarding the new information all together. This means that were
shaping our own knowledge everyday, allowing us to be more intuitive in our
learning.

active listening skills and memorization of the material. Although we received a manual with all of the information we

the information. In order to absorb this information, it was crucial that I listen intently and follow along
to get the facts down. I also use active listening while giving tours, as sometimes families ask me
questions that I may not understand or know the answer to, so its important that I listen carefully to
understand the question that is being asked of me. Sometimes if they ask about an issue on campus
or something they have a problem with, I need to make sure I give an answer with a positive
turnaround, which I cannot do if I am not listening to exactly what they have to say.
