  If someone sees you using it, it can be a great conversation starter to
  promote respiratory care.&nbsp;
</div>

<h2>Share Your Story</h2>

<div>
  Respiratory Care Week is intended to promote awareness of the field, and
  putting a personal touch to the field by sharing your story is more likely to
  get people engaged and really understanding the impact of your profession.
  Consider submitting a story to the AARC related to respiratory care, such as
  what made you pursue the field or a touching story about a patient whose life
  was positively impacted because of respiratory care.&nbsp;
</div>

<h2>Expand Your Knowledge</h2>

<div>
  Take this time to renew your passion for your work and dedicate yourself to
  being the best respiratory care professional you can be by proactively making
  the choice to pursue regular education beyond your workplace duties and
  professional requirements. Review the AARC site regularly for opportunities to
  attend webinars or receive newsletters to stay up-to-date about what&#39;s
  going on in your field beyond the office you work in.
