I interviewed Dr. Amarilis Hidalgo de Jesus, a Spanish professor here at Bloomsburg. My major is Spanish and Economics. In her field, Dr. Hidalgo is constantly coordinating via email with both students and faculty. She usually sends about 25 or more a day, and also writes articles for books and many types of editorial work. Letters of recommendation are a common time consumer for Dr. Hidalgo. Her audiences usually consist of either students, coworkers, or people researching in her field. Although most of her writing is for professional purposes, she also likes to do some creative writing in her free time.

Reaction: I was surprised by the amount of emails Dr. Hidalgo has to send in a day, then when I thought about all the students she advises, and all the total students in her class, I think it should actually be more than that. I learned that any type of career as a teacher or professor will entitle a lot of writing throughout the day. I'm sure my own career plans will also entitle vast amounts of writing, seeing as I want to work for the state department. Mass communication, coordination, and paperwork are involved with any form of government job.
