Dear Friend,

I understand your concern as I enter into the PR field.  It is often an industry shown in a maniacal manner with manipulative agents who twist the truth and falsely portray their clients so as to deceive "gullible" public.  I promise you that as a young practitioner entering into this broad domain of Public Relations, it is an entirely respectable field full of honest and hard working individuals who only want the best for their clients and want to help enhance the reputation and service of the businesses they work for.

The latter form of PR that I mentioned is the real type of Public Relations and a workforce that I am excited to join.  It is a career that involves seeing the positive in every situation and helping the rest of the world see that as well.  

I know when there is something that has a lot of negatives surrounding it, it can be hard to see that there is in actuality a good side.  There is a bad side to just about everything and it is up to the good practitioners of Public Relations to show the rest of the world how important their job is.  PR is about good communication and having the right set of morals, and while I know sometimes it may be a challenge deciding what the ethical course to take, I know that I was raised well and my education in PR at Marquette has emphasized ethical ways to practice PR and I am ready to move forward in this as a career.

Sincerely,

Sarah
