CHOOSING A MAJOR
Choosing a major is very important to every student, but it’s not easy to decide what major you will study. I thought about it a lot and it changed the way I think about my life in the future. I was a senior high school student and I would graduate and go to study in a university, so I had to choose a best major for my aptitude. That was the most important thing in my life because everyone has to find a job and earn money to take care of themselves and their family. It was difficult for me because I hadn’t had any experiences about majors. I was worried, but my parents gave me some good advice. They told me, “You should search on the internet to find about jobs and related majors”. My dad also told me about his experiences when he chose a major. I felt more comfortable when I heard my dad. When I got enough information, I asked myself, “What major I like to study?” and “What is my ability to learn that major?”. I had to think carefully because this choice would decide my future, so I thought about it many days. Sometimes I felt worried because I couldn’t figure out my abilities that I needed to have to study in university. After reflecting for several days, I made a final decision. I chose Computer Science because I like to do math, calculation and computer applications. Then, I told my parents about my choice and they were very happy that I could make an important decision by myself for my future. My parents and relatives told me, “That’s a good major, Nghiem. You have to try your best and don’t look back, we are proud of you”. I could find a good job and get a high salary when I graduate with Computer Science. Until this day, I’ve never regretted my decision because I had thought about it carefully before I chose. Making this decision changed my mind a lot, and now I can make important decisions about my life without worry. Because I always think carefully and take responsibility for my choice, I feel very confident to manage my life better.
