"The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity."
George Carlin
I have decided to become a butterfly. I want to be the person that communicates and builds relationships with others to satisfy the community’s needs or a company I work for.
I want to be a public relations major. I will be there promoting campaigns or introducing upcoming events to the public. In this case I get to be; a leader, a goal setter, protect company image, but I also have to maintain an image for trust and communication for myself. I have to have them not just like me, but love me. They have to trust me with information and I can share that with others in a true and beneficial way for the public.
My job will never be the same. I get to meet new people every day. Don’t act like this doesn’t sound like fun. It’s like trying a new flavor of ice cream every day. Some ice cream is creamy, delicious, exquisite, mouth-watering and others taste like pistachio. When you’re dealing with the public you never know what you are going to get. The Schwarzenegger became governor, Lindsay Lohan finally got what she deserved and BP is still trying to clean up their mess. That's PR for you.
Where will I work? Well, I have come up with a short list for you. Ahem.
- Corporations
- Educations
- Sports
- PR firms
- Advertising
- Government
- Religious organizations
- Business organizations, chamber comers, tourism, trade association
- Professional organizations, clubs, social groups, do good in the community
- News Media, Newspapers, Television

People love the butterfly and usually squash the caterpillar.
Can I stand out and make a difference? Please use your non-judgmental attitude and give me straight advice. Thanks Cousin.
Awesome Job, my friend! You can tell you know exactly what your studying and where it could potentially take you. Just a heads-up, "Lindsey Lohan" is spelled "LindsAY." 98% sure, but not positive.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely stand out! Such a twist on this letter.
ReplyDeleteI like how you emphasized how broad PR is. That's what I like too! I also like how you used examples of what you'll be with simple words such as a "leader, goal setter etc."
ps. does the third sentence need a "a" before public relations major?
Hey thanks so much you guys! Thanks for the corrections you are dead on. :)
ReplyDeleteAshely - Awesome job on the letter to cousin!! I loved the butterfly analogy and it was easy to see you want to be that person! I enjoyed reading about how different PR is every day - it made me hungry for some ice cream that's for sure!! Great job.
