I’m representing! That’s right, I am.
What am I representing? I see this answer as a
staircase response as there are so many involved. As a Public Relations
Communication Specialist, I represent my peers, professors, college, city,
internship organization and my job. As scary as that may sound, it’s actually a
breeze to pull off.
The days of going to Walmart in your pajamas
are over. On those blistery winter days, you think it’s just milk in and out of
Walmart. No, don’t do it. My professor commented about not wearing those warm
fuzzy pajamas anymore, she was right. I have had countless interactions with organizations
right in the middle of the check-out line and in the milk isle. Thankfully, I
took those words of wisdom even though I questioned if it would really happen
to me.
The day I crossed paths with an executive
director had been the day, I immediately became coherent that whether I was
meeting a director or an organizing, answering the phone, or a client, I must
conduct myself in a professional way because it reflects me and sometimes the
first impression is your only impression.
Even though I am a behind the scene
individual, I still need to represent in a clean, orderly fashion. My days of
pajamas are long over as each day shopping brings new interactions with
organizations I have either dealt with in the past, present or just recognize me
through news articles.
Public Relations have ignited a passion which
has developed into a career path that I am working hard on with extreme genuine
enthusiasm. “I” represent the past graduates and future of the Public Relations
Program. Whether I represent a client, organization or myself, I will incorporate
everything I have been taught and put my best foot forward.
