What I hope to achieve...

I hope to get as much out of this course as I possibly can. To learn new things and to improve skills I already had. This course will open so many doors for me and give me the potential to grow in the PR industry, or whatever comes next. That’s what I’m most looking forward to, the whatever comes next part. Knowing that there are so many opportunities next for me, there is so much that could come next.

I chose to do public relations because it seemed like the best way to go, and the most interesting. It took the skills I had previously developed at tafe, and allowed me to further develop them in a whole new industry. The public relations industry is growing fast, and with so many closely related industries it allows me to develop skills that can open more opportunities of many different careers.

I want to get the most I can out of this course, and hopefully continue through into the diploma level. Job opportunities are what I hope to look for from there, but I’m up for going though to university if that’s what it’s going to take. It doesn’t take much for me to change my mind on careers, but this time I’m going to stick with public relations. Even if it’s a career related to PR then this course will give me the appropriate skills I can apply to that job role too. To me, these are huge goals and to just complete this course would be a great achievement.

My goal for now is to do everything I can to achieve the best results in this course that I possibly can. To ace assignments, contribute to each class, to apply and learn new skills each week and to give every task my best shot. This goal is what I think it takes for me to continue in my public relations studies, and if I continue to focus and go hard, I know I am capable.
