Writing is a skill integral for success in my career. I plan to become a psychologist. As a psychologist it is necessary for me to write up reports on my patients. Communication is also important in my career. In order for me to do my job effectively, I must be able to communicate my findings to the world of psychology.
I see myself as writing at an average level. When I picture myself as a professional, I do not see one who is average (or writing as a freshman in college). Obviously, I have a lot of growing to do as a person and in my writing skill.
If for some strange and traumatic reason I decide that I no longer want to pursue a career in psychology, I will however still need to know how to write. I love helping people, so it is only right that my job reflects what I love to do. My second career choice is Social Work. In the career of Social Work, there is so much writing. As a social worker, I would have to do multiple reports that are read by different people who do different things. Because so many people are reading what I write, I would need to know how to choose my words carefully and communicate more effectively so that my writings are perceived in the way I intended for them to be.
I plan to become a psychologist too, and I agree with you that communication is what will keep the job going effectively. In order to treat patients documenting and writing reports will be apart of it. The way you write reflects on the client or patient to help their needs.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true! It seems that all professions today must have some kinda of knowledge or practice in communications and writing. But, yours will definitely be very important since you will be working with people. Your writing may only be average now, but I'm sure after doing many writings for classes throughout college you will get much better!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you said. In any health profession, communication is so important. I'm sure your writing will improve to be above average!
