by Haley Jackson, Account Team Leader
As my time at West Texas comes to an end, I am beyond grateful for all of
the experiences and knowledge I have gained. From starting college as a
dance major to changing my major to advertising and public relations the
next semester.
If only Freshman Haley could see us now.
When I first came to WT, I came with the intention to transfer to Texas A&M
the next year; however, I fell in love with the school and the people.
As I began to explore my new major, I was able to find a new confidence in
myself. I wasn’t scared to go after new opportunities or push myself to try
something new.
*Cue 1910 PR entrance
For my last semester, I decided to push myself and focus on the PR side of
my major. When I joined 1910 PR, I was beyond nervous. I didn’t have
experience with journalism, and I was going in blind.
Within the first few weeks, I was assigned Team Green Lead, which was nerve wracking.
Throughout the semester, I saw myself become more and more comfortable with creating email blasts, social media posts, and leading a team.
Even though it was one semester, my time with 1910 PR has helped me grow
in my field, and I can’t wait for what comes next.
