An ideal residential community, SMU Resident Assistant Essay Response--How to start?

Hello! I am currently a freshman at SMU and I am interested in applying to be an RA for next year. As part of the application process, I have to write an essay(s). I am kind of stuck on to how I should start, so if you can give me some ideas that would be great! :)

Prompt: Describe an ideal residential community. How would you help build this community as a Resident Assistant?

This is part of the self-expression. You don't have to be an RA, but you choose to be one because of the way it would fit into the context of whatever you have going on. If you do this rather than some other job, it is because it is something you can get inspired about. Can you get inspired about trying to mediate between the school and the community of kids? Can you get inspired about creating a certain type of environment? (Hint: In order to tailor the environment to each person, you will probably have to find out what each person's major is.)
