P.R. is a lifestyle

Why did I choose P.R. as a concentration? Well, I became a Mass Communications major under the advisement of my mother. I am not book smart which eliminates a lot of majors and my strengths are in organization, planning, and communicating directly to the point. I chose P.R. because of my strengths and the aspect of making something appealing to two audiences, the consumer and the business/producer. I like to place my self in other people shoes and work to make them happy or content. One element of P.R. that I have loved since I was in 5th grade and on the staff of my monthly school newspaper, is planning events, marketing schemes, and handling public relations issues. I like to plan something, figure out all the miniscule details, and effectively execute it. This summer I had an internship with Chick-fil-A, where I helped plan, decorate and execute numerous family-oriented events. We put on luau nights, pirate and princess nights, superhero nights, football themed nights and other fun customer-appreciation nights. When people are all on the same page, I feel accomplished. I enjoy feeling well prepared and seeing the impact something I have done has made. I chose public relations because it best fits into who I am.
