Why Pick Public Relations?

In high school I designed a fundraiser for my school to do a rock-a-thon that benefited the Children's Miracle Network. It started out as a small idea for our school to get involved in the community. In order to raise the maximum amount of funds we contacted local newspapers, radio and televison station. We went on an extenisive press tour publisizing the event. When the rock-a-thon rolled around we had incredible participation from our small school and from the community. This was my first experience with how Public Relations works. It opened my eyes to the kinds of careers you can pursue in PR. I choose to pursue a degree in Public Relations because it gives me the opportunity to make a difference. Public Relations gives me the tools required to communicate anything to anyone. PR gives me the opportunity to serve people. It is an exciting field to pursue because the opporunities are so vast. I would love to work in Non-Profit Public Relations, but I'm excited about to pursue an expansive career in PR and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
