Why is Writing Important?

Writing and communication itself will be a huge area of the profession that I am aiming for. My choice of working in the health sciences field is one that will require me to be around people very often. I want to be a nutritionist, and I will be seeing patients who have health issues on a daily basis. Writing will be one form of communication that I will use to extend valuable information to the patients that come to me. While I am not one hundred percent sure the exact type of writing that I will need to use, my own prediction is that I will need to write some sort of report based on tests that are done to the patients. In the reports I will need to explain the results of tests that are done to the patients and what those results mean to their specific health issue. I might also need to write a sort of guideline for patients to follow in terms of diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes that may need to occur for them to get their health back on track. Another goal of mine in the future is to speak out to the young community, and teach them the importance of a healthy lifestyle from early on so that they can make the right choices first. In order to do this, I will need to make speeches or write some sort of document that can reach the audience I am aiming for. I will need to know how to write an effective speech, or maybe a simple, but profound piece of writing that will make a difference to a young group of people.  I need to explore different types of writing in order to be successful in what I want to accomplish in the future, as of now I am pretty familiar with persuasive arguments, and research papers.  I would like to learn a more scientific based format for my future career, and experience a new kind of writing that works more for a scientific field and is able to help me in that aspect of my life. Writing is very important to me because it has a large impact on what the future of my career can be like.
