I'm close to all my brothers and sis- In high school, Zinke was a cadet teacher, assisting the regular teacher in the special education of mentally retarded students. From this exper- lence grew the idea of teaching as a future career. Zinke covers Thursdays, 7 p.m. to a.m., and every other weekend she and another R.A.,“one girl - one guy”; are onduty, though in a sense she is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Being a resident advisor is a“’good job - you learn a Jot - you find out a lot about yourself...worth the effort and the time,’ states Zinke. “1 enjoy kids. I’ve been around them all my life and ‘ve always wanted to work with kids,“” com- ments Zinke. An interest in law also developed, partly because one of her brothers is a police officer.

She also deal ividual needs her help.

Occassionally Zinke must write an incident report on a resident in per- forming her job (the decision to pen- alize is not hers). But she says there “no major problems” and about the students living in the dorm she adds, “It's a good bunch of kids.” One student living on the floor to which Zinke is assigned remarked that she was “0.
