Professionalism


As defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, professionalism is “the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or professional person”.  Based on this definition I think professionalism is extremely important.  It is vital to display the attitudes, beliefs and actions that place others above yourself.  As a professional in a world where the term “professional” is thrown around to varying degrees it is necessary to keep perspective on the appropriateness of your actions.  Being a professional does not mean that you have to wear a suit and tie or dress to work.  Professionalism is not based upon appearance but actions and understanding of the profession.  I feel that my current level of professionalism is high and I seek to impress that standard upon others around me.
