As a soon to be graduated student of Public Relations it may seem odd  that I consider myself shy. I am infact an extremely shy person. In order to work a room and meet people I have to really push myself. It can be at times, exhausting physically for me. I always feel great after I put myself out there and meet people. There are many opportunities that arise that allow us to meet new people and learn from them. But it is all about getting out there and making an impression. After working on getting over shyness for many years now, I have learned a few things about myself. Most importantly for me, I just have to do it. I will watch someone across the room (some may consider this stalking) and I watch for a good moment and I just walk up and introduce myself. It is like diving in head first. It is amazing the people that you will meet and the experiences that you will have. Over the past year I have truly put this to practice and it is amazing the things that I have learned and the people that I have met. So even though I may be shy and in Public Relations, that doesn’t mean I won’t be successful. It just takes some effort.
