Why Is Writing Important?


               Writing is used in almost every profession at least a little bit. Everyone needs to communicate to work together in order to get a job done. Whether it’s through e-mail, texting, or even “old-fashion” hand written notes or reminders, writing is essential in everyday life. Companies advertise, workers of all sorts have to write down their schedule or request time off in some way to their managers, and doctors document everything about a patient on a daily basis.
                My ultimate future career goal is to be a dentist. I know that will require much documenting of each of my patients. Even just a cleaning will require me to write whether everything is looking good or not. My job requires tons of communication between hygienists, secretaries, and dental assistants in order to be successful. Every day I will have to look at my patients chart at past written notes and observations and make new ones.  I’m going to need to take special English classes in graduate school to learn the language of dentists and how they write their abbreviations and things. Communication is definitely key because not doing so could cause major problems.
