A change of direction

After partaking in PR for the past four months I've gained a fountain of helpful knowledge. I primarily took the course to benefit my event field, however PR has benefited me in more ways than just that. With all the wonderful things that I've learned I have grasped a better understanding of the world around me. Its taught me a lot about myself on a personal level. I'm more aware and understanding towards people, and although it sounds silly that PR helped me in this respect, its true. I understand peoples reactions and how they react like they do. Before taking the course I may have not had the best approach with friends, family or coworkers, but, since learning to take some steps back, analyze the situation and be more prepared and think rationally and sophistication, I now take my time and approach each situation like it could be "news worth". I guess at the end of the day, what I've learned about how to handle an international issue like scandals, corporate closures, product releases or legal mishaps, I've learned to gauge my personal issues and treat them like they are just as serious to myself and others as worldly issues are to the world. Thank you PR!
